Low profile baitcasting reel recomendations

[bassnblues]

I'm looking to get a low profile baitcaster to put on a St. Croix Premier rod I've had for a while. I've been using it for light saltwater with a round Daiwa but I want to re-purpose it for throwing spinner-baits and crank-baits.

I'd like to get a nice low profile reel. It's a 6 1/2' rod rated for 10-17lb line. I'll want to load 10lb braid on it.

Looking to spend around $100.00. Any recommendations?

Daiwa lexa is a really nice reel in that price range. You can find them cheap on amazon. The Revo S and Revo SX are also great reels.

If you are looking to keep it as a dual purpose fresh/salt water set up, the Lexa is awesome. I have a Lexa 300h on a musky stick and I've used for snag n drop, plugging and jigging stripers to 35 lbs, togging, and dead sticking fluke. It's def to heavy for freshwater bassing but it's ready for my first musky also. They make a 100 that I'm curious about. My buddy got me the 300 for $100 brand new off ebay.

Thanks for the info.

The lexa looks nice but I think it's just a little bigger thAn I'm looking for. Ill definitely take as look at one.

i own a lexa 100 and its okay, but the drag feels very weak
compared to my accurist. the lexa did handle steelhead up to 10lb this year tho

For around $100 its hard to beat the Lews Speed Spool
