Default #3/4 reel advice needed

Can anyone recomend a reasonably priced light weight #3/4 reel please.
They are'nt that common to find,I'm finding out.Can't really afford a Hardy,
so any guidance would be appreciated.Its for a 7' #3/4 3pce rod so I
would like to keep the weight down.
Cheers

Shimano Biocraft #3/4 is a lot of reel for the money.

Thanks the Squire and Jim,defo worth taking a look at.
To be perfectly honest I would love to find a Ryobi 355 Mag with LHW.
Now these are very light indeed and match a Snowbee Diamond perfectly.
I would imagine not that easy to find,having been discotinued a while ago.
Any thoughts?.
