    I have just this minute ordered one of those Greys GRXi reels from HERE

    http://www.britnett-carver.co.uk/flyonly/prods/433.html

    ... seems a good deal - in effect FOUR reels for GBP 55 (postage GPP10)

    looking forward to trying it out

    I always wanted to be somebody,but now I realize I should have been more specific.

    Nick, I voted for the Shimano Biocraft only 'cos I can still source one or two for R 1050.
    THEIR LATEST PRICE IS 1500.

    Having had a good look at the Albright Bugatti, at R500, that will be my next reel, if not it's better brother at R 800 or the "top of the range" at 1200, which IMHO knocks socks off the Biocraft LA.

    That will all depend on the Sommelier, the location, the host, and most important of all, the liquids.
