If you like click & pawl and if you really like light weight reels, here's a deal for you:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Forbes-Magnesium-Reel-2-5in-WF4F-ULTRALITE-WEIGHT-Only-2-2-Ounces-/292063020260?hash=item44005004e4
I'm not a fan of click & pawl though I do see the appeal if you are going somewhere where having a reel fail on you would be a huge bummer.
This reel is made in Japan, it's clearly cast but nicely so, and has a clever adjustable "drag" where it puts more or less pressure on the pawl. Actually works.
I'm not associated with the maker of the reel, I'm just passing on the link because if you care about light, this is about as light as you are ever going to see. And it is pretty nice reel, especially considering the price. I think it's perfect for 2 or 3wt and would work for a 4wt.
