Favorite new age small bait cast reels

[lil neet]

There is a many cool what are called the little super reels being made having high drag setting and many high tech small sealed bearings .
I have tried Quantums ,shimanos and abu 's.
I prefer the abu's they are super well built and cast like a dream .They are also cool cause they are all rated for salt too and nothing beats salt fishing with bas gear .I own a premier ,toro and inshore .
What are your favorite and why ?

i heard the abu revo is incredible. except im not fortunate enuf to own/afford/have enuf passion to spend that much on one. i have an abu round reel 7700 or something, i find it somewhat.... i dont even know, but i wish it can do better xD

well money is not always the case of quality .I have a Quantum accurist which is considered in the middle of there line and its one of the best trouble free reels i have for $99 bucks .If you take of and oil and grease your reel each time they will last many years .

AG all the way for me. I currently have two Premiers and one STX-HS. They are all the 09 models. These reels seem to fit my hand the best. I have fished with Curados, Citicas and even Steez. All the other reels are GREAT reels, BUT the AG lineup seems to fit my hand the best and I love their durability. Just like with anything, maintain it like you use it. Would you drive your car for 10-12 months and never add oil????

Shimano's the best for myself, still have the old bantams on my rods, aswell as a few new curado's, abu garcia has dissapointed me of late being the reel i bought for muskie had a broken drag from day one, i went cheap and got shoddy craftsmanship, so yeah don't go for cheap reels.
