See if these help.

I have one Baitrunner Long Cast and one Daiwa Sportsmatic.

Shimano Long Cast
http://www.fishingmagic.com/review/reviewproduct/mps/RGN/8/RCN/63/RPN/628/v/1/sp/

Best price about ?125. Example http://www.wickfordangling.co.uk/shimano-sp/big_baitrunner_long_cast.htm

Both can be bought second hand from Ebay if you are OK buying off there for about ?80 - ?85. I bought one of each off Ebay for ?75 each without any problems, but read the description carefully and hope for a bit of luck.
