I have a set of these.
Really impressed.
Feel well built, smooth as you like, quality line lay and not too heavy for their size.
They look better in the real than the pics online.
I have them on 3.25 Torrix and they are a great match.
They show how much of a rip off many of the expensive top end reels are......

I've had the original Affinity reels for 5/6 years now and they haven't missed a beat. If I felt the need for a change would happily get a set of the newest version

Awesome reels, nice quality build and look real good mate. Picked up three for £300 off faceache too even with boxes and spare spools.

There was a nice set that finished on eBay over the weekend for £360 ish. They don't seem to come up often second hand.
