I picked up some of the re released Greys Xflites and have been using them for a couple of months, pretty well built 50mm eyes, thin/light blanks.

They throw a 2.5 Oz lead about 70 yards (I'm a hopeless caster) and are quite pleasant with a fish on, arcs past the joint and handle lunges nicely.

Best part I got 3 new for £240 off tft so maybe worth considering if it doesn't have to be Shimano.
