I prefer taped on reels especially with light tackle because you can balance your outfit. Some of my fresh water LMB rods have had the orig. tape jobs for almost 10 yrs. I don't use an underwrap. The most important part of the process is to tape the reel to the rod with a non-stretch tape 1st. (medical tape works fine) This keeps the reel from moving period. Waterproof the 1st layer w/electrical tape and you're in business.
