Re: Best inshore low profile baitcasters?
I've been fishing a Revo Inshore since the first gen and they are absolutely great for the price. I would highly recommend it for sub $200 budget.
If you're willing to spend a little money I can't tell you enough that the Shimano Exsence DC is the best LP inshore reel I have used. It is specifically made for PE lines and was designed to hold up to saltwater environments. I'm only ordering those from now on

Daiwa Ryoga 1016h 2020h and Z2020h are. What I use and they are awesome reels. Others have come and gone but I don't see myself getting rid of these.

Curado 300DSV handled everything from spotted bay bass to 50lb bluefin tuna. Bent but didnt break! hahah

Zillion coastal or pe special if can find them
Re: Best inshore low profile baitcasters?
My father-in-law has had good experiences with both his Abu Orra 2 Inshores. Much better than his Curado I over the last couple of years. He's very diligent about rinsing and maintenance as well.
My Steez A's have been solid as well.

The Zillion Coastal, But they are getting very hard to find. I also like the blue Tatula Coastal, but they require a handle swap, I can’t stand those giant foam knobs.

Tranx 200-500 takes the cake for me.

Do that to the Tranx and yeh it's won over the Curado K...
It's actually got some pretty neat parts inside it compared to the K.

I think the new Coastal SV is going to take the cake on this one now
Re: Best inshore low profile baitcasters?
If you're looking for a reel that will hold 150 or so yards.

Inshore I've been using steezA with the 1016 spool or the steez ct.
Use to use deeper spool reels like 13 fishing concept TX and regular steezA spool but even hitting big reds and baby Jack's I've never touched more than half the deep spools.
