I used to use an ABU 5500 and it would cast a 28 gm krill miles.

Have a look at the US sites, Cabelas and Bass Pro for an idea of what is
available.

I am looking at one of the small baitcaster reels. Can anyone advise as
to
what sort of "minimum" weight it would cast. I appreciate that the
heavier lure would probobly work better with this type of reel.

The reel I am looking at is the Shakespeare Alpha 200 baitcaster, holds
190mts of 8lb mono, more than I will ever need but it is the smallest in
the
range.
