Accurate Tern 2 TXD-600N Reels
The 600N has been one of the best selling sizes in Accurate history, and the Tern 2 is a particularly good option for a mix of jigging and casting. They are narrow so it's very simply to guide the line back on when you're retrieving quickly. For the surface irons I would recommend the lower gear ratio model, it has plenty of retrieve and matches the gear ratios of the older reels that surface irons were designed to be used with. The high gear ratio is great for wahoo fishing as well as jigging of all kinds.
At 18 ounces they are very light while still being fairly large and capable of holding almost 500 yards of 65lb braid. 28lbs of drag is plenty for anything you'd be using this reel for and it will perform smoothly under load because of the Twin drag design that puts drag washers on both sides of the main gear.
