These are the small Daiwa Leobritz and Seaborg 200J reels and PENN’s Fathom Electric 30. They weigh 480 to 540 g where the maker publishes it, cost about $540 to $950, and suit tilefish, snapper and light jigging rather than the heaviest deep-drop weights. The Leobritz 300J is the cheapest per kg of drag in this class.
