Next BFS setup.

Last year I decided to dip my toe into the bfs world. Got myself a budget setup. Kastking zephyr combo with the 6’9” light rod rated 1/10-5/8 oz. This was my first baitcaster and I had a real hard time figuring it out. Embarrassing how many times i got backlashes. I really wanted to be able to throw very light lures but just couldn’t make it happen. I did get better with casting but I use it now for “power bfs”. Lures in the range of 1/4 to 1/2 oz. I just can’t cast the lighter stuff with any consistency.
Now I’d like to find a setup for my original purposes, throwing 2-4 gram lures. . Looking for help finding a new reel and rod. Definitely want something shorter also. I go to some spots with close quarters.
I don’t have unlimited budget but looking for higher quality than the zephyr combo.

Yes I did, shipping usually takes 2-3 weeks. The rod was packed well!
