I'm really surprised more people haven't said lews.  I love lews because of their palm-ability

CT?  Because the original Tatulas (including Type R) are a bit larger than the CT.  So everyone says.  I have never handled a CT.  Size of the originals doesn't bother me.

Yes it's a Tatula R CT. To me it feels nice, I wouldn't want it to be any smaller I don't think.

I also have a Shimano Calcutta 51. For a round reel, that thing is small. Quite easy to palm. Fun little reel. I've used it for drop shotting and it's a blast. 

There's a ton of excellent options... go with what feels the best in whatever budget you've set and it's hard to go wrong.

What's your opinion on how it cast lighter lures , 1/4oz Bandit 200 crankbaits ?

                                                                                     Thanks 

Once you adjust the mags properly it's awesome.  Took me a bit.

Worth noting that the IPT on some of the reels recommended above is very low, and gets lower when a long cast peels off half the spool capacity

That look like Calcutta 25 in his hand ? I don’t remember it’s that small when I had mine.

I've thought about getting a small casting reel. I've been fishing ABU 4600s, and 5500c reels for a long time. I've looked at some Lews reels, but I like the Shimano small baitcasters better. I've heard good things about the H20 reels that Catt mentions also
