Try the 6000 gtb'smiles better reels i had a pair for 18 monthes and they were faultless so much so that my mate who had watched me use them was quite happy to give me £90 the pair when i upgraded great reel very robust and they are as smooth as silk to use also they look good to with the gun metal silver coating!

I've just bought a 5000 RE, and it fits the bill nicely.  Just big enough for Pike work (close to medium range), matt black not some tarty Halfords colour, accepts GTE alloy spools (so I bought three), can be ugraded to near GTE spec with two £1.50 bearings from your local bearing supply house, and has the single handle that I much prefer, oh, and all this whilst being not much bigger than a 4000 size P3 reel (spool is actually slightly smaller diameter).  Longevity?  Well, we'll have to see!

Poingdestre's are doing them the cheapest at the moment I think.
