Price no object: Calcutta 400 - sweetest and most durable small conventional out there - about $200. Price an object? You can get an Abu 6500TCST fo less than $90 and upgrade the drags with extreme smoothies for another 8 bucks or so...
If you're chasing smaller stuff, look into a 5500C3/C4 with same drag updates. Very nice smaller reel. I use them for smaller bass and albies but I've lande bass into the high twenties on that reel before too...
