I'm shocked people bothered to help you after that. Fred was just making the very valid point that weights are given for almost every reel out there. you can't say an exclamation point was sarcasm as it might just be enthusiasm.
A better option would of been to assess what reels fall within both your price and ideal weight range, then either gone to a local shop to see them in the flesh or asked specific questions about said reels and try to create a comparison between the models you liked.

Its all twaddle anyway - OP needs to balance reels with the rods he's got (whatever they are) before fussing over grammes and ounces - weight in carp reels is somewhat irrelevant as they sit on rests 95% of the time; unless he has the arms of an 8yr old

Basiair Z45 I believe is the lightest of the range, don't know of any other big pit that is lighter.

What full sized big pit is lighter? There's the £800 Basair which is marginally lighter, but that's such stupid money I just block out it's existence.

He can't be bothered to clean them or change line, it's easier just to buy a new set.
