Little help with reel decision

[blkfalc4]

Hi guys,
Looking for some recommendations, opinions, and/or ideas.

Setting up a rig for light baits. Rod is a DX701C, going to be sending I think mostly 1/8 oz jigs with Gitzits and 3"grubs predominately with some 1/16oz jigs thrown in.

Looking at the Shimano Aldeberan BFS XG and JDM Daiwa SS Air Ultra Finesse and can't quite decide.
I own both Shims and Daiwas and lean toward my Steezs over my Mets atm.

Any and all suggestions welcomed at this point.

TIA,
Mike

I'm not any help with comparison as I'm a Shimano fan and don't own a Daiwa anymore. I can say you'd be happy with the Shimano, very smooth reels.

Dont even bother with th SS air. Instead of spending all that money on the Aldebaran,  I would get the Alphas SV for less and probably better as far as line capacity and capabilities.

The SV (with a few upgrades) is a killer deal.

Honestly I would look at the Curado 50E. Here is a picture of mine on my DX683. I swear they were made for each other.

I am with rock, my 50e on a 6'-6" ML is perfect. Look for a 50e that suites your needs. Shimano Scorpion xt or Brenious might be right up your alley and they are half as much as the two reels you are looking at. Both should toss those lures quite easy.  If need be you can always get an aftermarket shallow finesse spool.

Still a few core 50/51's out there, saw a few at a local shop for 240$. But if you prefer Daiwa, stick with their offerings.  Gl.
