It is time to embrace finesse

I have decided that I need to start using split shot and drop shot more than I do. So far it has been my least used technique and as such I do not have too much gear for it. So, I am looking into purchasing a rod specifically designed for it. I am not really asking for rod suggestions because I am pretty sure I am going with a crucial. My question becomes reels. I have never put too much thought into spinning reels. Being that this rig will be designed for 4-6 lbs flouro, I believe that a smooth drag will be key. I don't want to break the bank and would like to stay in the $100 and less range for the reel.
How important do you all consider the reel in a finese spinning rig?
