The last extra-small spinning reel I had went to a nephew several years ago.
Can't seem to find a decent quality reel that's designed for 2 lb. test or lighter.
This is for a very specific technique, 1/32 oz marabou jigs in gin-clear springs.
Haven't tried it on trout in over a decade, but our vacation plans make it likely.
Thanks for any feedback.

I'll check them both.
Fishing beautiful Destin / Ft Walton Beach area!
Aside from ice-fishing, the 1000 series reels are supposed to be at the lower limit.
Still shopping ... the trip to "trout country" has been put off for at least a month.

MY WORST FEAR......THAT WHEN I DIE MY WIFE WILL SELL ALL MY BOATS & FISHING GEAR FOR WHAT I TOLD HER I PAID FOR IT.......
I may not always agree with what you say,
but I will always respect your right to be wrong!
Not made anymore.
They are hard to come by however I use 4LB flouro on them for ultralight tackle to catch speckled trout!
good luck
