Small Baitcaster (easy to palm)

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Sorry but I have to add this.
This remembered me of the reel features one decade ago:

Lew's Tournament Pro features:

>Aluminum frame --- Only that? So it can compete with some sub 100$ reels
>Machined duralumin drilled and anodized spool and gear system I believe they had duralumin drilled and anodized spool back in the 80's
>ZeroReverse one way clutch bearing Do they make reel without this?
>Audible click drag and spool tension knob What else?
>External lube port They forgot to add also an easy clean external port. Just adding grease and oil don't get you far.
>Titanium coated zirconia line guide I always loved gold rings but I'm still waiting for a silver one.

Nothing else to add??
Surreal!!!!
:-k
