Dude, you're using a 7'6" rod and worried about tight quarters??? It just sounds funny.
Tacklewarehouse was selling Abu Garcia Revo models at great prices but they might all be gone. If they are all gone, look on e-Bay for a used Shimano Citica (2009 model). They are $120 brand new so you should be able to get a used one in good shape for $80 to $100. The link to the specifications is below:

11 pounds of drag is plenty and the reel weighs 7.8 oz. The extra line capacity in the spool is handy too. I have about a half dozen of the new Curados and they're all 100% reliable. The Citica is basically the same reel with two less ball bearings and $60 cheaper.
