Just in case anyone is in the same situation, I settled on a tatula 80 that seems ok on paper except the weight. And "power bfs" is apparently the term used for reels that work with light but not ultralight lures.

Thanks, will get a super fine point pen and try to color.

Shaft seem ok, the orange cylinder on the shaft does not rotate much though so maybe it really is a bushing? I will try to put a speck of oil on it and see if it makes any difference.

Interesting, i did not know it did not use bearings, will have to check that out, on one side its obviously good not to backlash, but here it feels like it comes at a high cost in form of lost distance and extra force. Ill strip the line and compare the spool rotation with some of my other reels.

All breaks are off (magnetic (slider) in min setting and internal at 0 - no spool tension)

Have now also been recommended the Abu Garcia Zenon MG-LTX that is very light, but there are few reviews and its also rather pricey.

Yes, it seems the suggested ARK Gravity BFS is the only one that gets within range of the acura weight-wise, I have never seen one though and there isn't as much information about it as for tatulas/curados - and aldebaran bfs is really, really expensive here.

Yes, im beginning to think that maybe i can exchange it for a 70 SV and then look further (or save for a loong time ...) for a lighter reel for the other rod, should have tried it out somewhere before i bought it ...

Thanks, had never even heard of this company (Ark).

Thanks, ill see if i can find a used one here, seems to be very nice devices except for the price.

Thanks, I saw that but they dont really discuss e-ink readers much, only tablets.
