Any recommendations appreciated and would like to stay under $300.

How do those reels balance on the rod ?
It’s not always good to just go lighter .
Sometimes a lighter reel allows the rod to want to tip forward , which causes fatigue quick .
I personally try and match the reel so it is perfectly balanced and floats in your hand .
It’s weird because sometimes a heavier reel actually feels lighter on the rod due to balance
I have a Penn clash 4000 on my BH701 it’s 10.6.
But even the rod build can change what will float best
