about £40 for a second hand 535 thats how much i paid for mine! if you can john get hold of a 535mag as the 535s can be a bit of a handful to cast with its big metal spool john! the mag calms it right down but you dont lose distance either!
hope this helps!
you could try a USA 525 or 525mag!! never used them myself but have a very good reputaion john!

Penn 525 mag, original though, none of this sh*t with plastic handles and gold rubbish all over it

Best all round reels out there IMO
