I can't believe you've not had a reply to this post yet.
I only really know Shimano reels, and their 2500 size is just right for float work andlight feeder, with the 4000 size suitable for general feeder work.
Shimano Alivios are nice reels at about £25/£27 respectively, next model up is the
Shimano Catanas at about £29/£30 respectively.
There are lots of other makers to consider (e.g. Shakespeare, Daiwa, Okuma), perhaps best to visit your local tackle shop for a look at a selection.
