Not sure what your asking for.A recommendation for a new reel under £40,or a chance that someone on here has a good 2nd hand reel ,that will sell for £40 or less.
Have a look at the Danica 69 compo.

I think fishtec are doing balance reels for £25
but keep an eye open in the classifieds on here for a vison koma or greys gtx

From what I've read these 3 are supposed to be quite good budget reels but worth doing your research on all 3 to find out which is the best one for you.

Greys G3
Okuma Airframe
Leeda Profil

Leeda Profil for me, within budget and does everything you need it to

I've just asked (PM'd)Sunkistbob (classified) if his Cartridge Reel will do a #8.
Maybe that would suit you. they look like a nice bit of kit.

I got a slightly trimmed down DT8F on an SKB cassette, with about 50 yds of thin backing.

A WF8F should go.
