The best reel for that application is Pfluger Patriarch.

Beginning Baitcaster
I recommend Pfluger Patriarch. Set 4pins inside and Max magnet brake to start. This almost guarantee no backlash. Then reduce the magnet blake little by little.

Pic below is modified my STX and PREMIER side plate. Once magnet is added, After this modification, I do not have to use mechanical brake any more. Try this. This really works. I can cast 7g from about 30yard with my Revo STX.

No, added magnets does not move. This modification is basically increasing base magnet force. This modification makes your Revo mild and very easy to handle. I was lucky I had ABU 4600C5 MAG-X. I used brake unit of this reel to make this modification. Pic is showing brake unit (left) and plate and magnet of 4600C5 MAG-X. I cut the plate in size and made a hole to mount. I used magnet also.

Cavfirst, Yes, that is why they sell brake enhanced version of Revo in Japan. It is called Revo Elite Aurora. It has 8 magnets instead of 5. For the people who have trouble casting light weight lures with Revo, you can easily add more magnet. See picture below. It is in Japanese but you can see how he did it. This is especially effective on Revo STX. After adding magnet, you should loosen the mechanical brake so that you are only using magnet for brake. you can try diffrent sized magnet or diffrent number of magnet. I use 2 of 3/16 inch X 1/16 magnet.
