I have some Daiwas Accudepths that I have used for 15 years now without any issues. Get the 17 size it is smaller. Been using the Daiwa LEXA and am happy with it. Low profile but about $120 bucks. ABU GARCIA has some low profiles but I haven't had any experience with them. In general ABU makes great reels. As for lead core it is very speed dependent and I don't like having over 150 feet of line out behind the boat. You also need a big reel to handle all the line needed for 40 foot depths. Lead core is really designed to get crankbaits deeper. Works great for that. Used it all the time trolling for walleyes 20ft down or so.
