Thinking about reels that do not have centrifugal brakes.

I was thinking about getting a Bass Pro shop, Johnny Morris platinum series baitcasting reel, but now I’m having second thoughts.

I have several of the pro qualifier reels and I love them. That seemed like good quality I generally like everything about them. But what I’ve come to realize is because they have tropical brakes, their spools are heavier, and thus I can’t cast lighter lures as well with them.

I use a couple Abu Garcia Black Max 3 and I have a Daiwa CR80 that I like as well. They have magnetic brakes, but not centrifugal and this allows me to cast lighter lures. I easily cast 1/4 ounce floors using these reels.

So I guess my question is, what reels should I be considering that are in the quality range of the BPS platinum series but do not have centrifugal brakes?

I have considered putting a new spool in the BPS real, that didn’t have the brakes. Or perhaps trying to remove the braking system from the reel. Is this an option, thoughts?
