Shimano Curado... Haven't used them for SoCal salt but I've used em in Oregon for steelhead and salmon. Great little reels!

Avet MXL and shimano TLD star drags... You asked about baitcasters, not conventional reels right?

Conventional reels... I need something that I can put lighter line on. Less than 12lbs. I like to fish spotties and flatties
I have a Newell 229 with 12lbs, and a SHIMANO CORSAIR 401A with 12lbs I am looking for and round baitcasting reel

For light line my favorite reel on the market is the Daiwa Coastal. Super smooth, low maintenance (Ive oiled mine 2 times in 3 years and they are still super smooth), wet drags, and really light.
