Best Loomis drop shot rod (besides 822DSR)
I have conquest 842c and 842s for dropshotting. and they are perfect, I use spinning for light weight and use bait casting for powershotting.

Penn Senator 14/0
Update: As I mention my reel was in Penn west cost service center, They opened my baby up and it was very simple Grease on bridge on main shaft missing, or better to say it was dry, So they greased and lube everything and close it back. It is very smooth and working very nice. We end up spooling 2400 yards of 130lb test solid diamond braid and 400 yards of 130lb test Suffix highviz mono. ill update about the rod also.

Yes I do stay at the beach, I bought few at the pier but the issue in pier is they will wrapped around and cut off, specially the bigger ones, Iland 4 feet shark from pier and load it up by crab net and some rope, it was heavyyyy XXXXXH, I almost wanted to let go and I am big guy. so I decided to go to the beach so I can pull them all the way. I have ordered RC boat already to send the chunk out 300 yards with no problem.

Thats the plan, but it is long way to go, I just found out the rod I have doesn't fit the 14/0 , Because the reel seat need to be very big.

Arbogast XL Jitterbug
Last night I went for fishing, I used my frog combo which is straight 65lb braid. I was good with my top waters or my swaver, But when I start to use Jitterbug I got my line in the hooks two times out of three cast. Just reporting, I know what to do next time, ill use heavy mono as leader or Flouro so it will not be tangled. Unless someone have another idea.

Any suggestions for reels for smaller hands?
Look at their line capacity and then choose between them, anyways you asking for smaller reels, so you'll have less line on them. Anyways Curado and SLX size 150 are also pretty small.

Any suggestions for reels for smaller hands?
do curado/slx 70 sizes. or Aldebaran 30 size. they are all small size.
