Dream reel no longer on the market. Any suggestions for a comparable reel?
5 years ago I held a Quantum Smoke PT SL10PTi reel in my hand and fell in love. A meager 6oz and smooth as hell. Quantum is now on their 3rd generation of smoke reels but the size 10 looks to have been phased out.
I'm about to pick up a st croix panfish series rod and I'd like to find a nice featherweight spinning reel for it. Obviously I'd like to avoid spending a ton of money. But if there really is another reel out there that is also machined by angels I'll go deep for it.
Any thoughts?

eBay and or forums. Idk what you are looking to spend but I have logged 100s maybe even 1000s of hours on shimano Stradic CI4, high end pfluegers, shimano Stella’s, and diawa tatula spinning reels all should be sub 6 ounces roughly and last 20 years for a weekend angler.

I'd like a size 10, sub 7oz, 7+bb in the $40-$80 range. But I'd go double that if I found something very similar to the smoke10.
Is that realistic?

Another vote for the Stradic. CI4. It's an awesome reel.

I'll check it out in store tomorrow. But it's pretty far out of my price range so unless it is absolute perfection "that's a no from me dawg"
