If you want a lightweight reel that casts farther than any other spinning reel on the market, the U.S. Reels company has the reel for you. They make the SX series of
spinning reels, which I think are the best on the market for the price. They are made with lightweight carbon fiber components, high quality SDS drag system, four ABEC stainless steel ball bearings and wide spool design for long, smooth, accurate casts.
The 180SX weighs only 7.2 ounces. The 230SX weighs in at 8.9 ounces while the 240SX weighs 9.9 ounces. These are some of the lightest reels on the market, which makes them easier to cast and you don't get tired so quickly! They work great with braid line as well as mono-filament line.
