How do these one's compare size wise to the XTB 5500? If bigger which one's are similar size? Cheers

PHIL - Ive came across these the 7000 on Facebook Market 2 for 150 but he's open to negotiation. So you think these would be just as good as the LTD as I don't mind a second hand reel.

IP- helpful as ever mate so think I'll take a look at these deffinetly I'll try the M&R tackle too

If they're black then I think they are the LTD. If you do buy off Facebook make sure you use paypal goods and services and give the guys profile a quick look make sure it looks genuine and not a fake profile.

Just had a look angling direct have the affinity II in stock for £90 each. You should be aiming for £110 ish for the two second hand I would say. I've never used the affinity II but I understand they are comparable to the mk1

I would say the 7000 is slightly bigger and not sure they do a smaller version of the affinity ltd

I've to agree. The 7000 is typical big pit size I'd say. The 8000's are HUGE

I'd prefer the MKI's too, the spec was just so high for the money - Titanium main Shafts, Line Roller, Bronze Bushes in the Spools etc.......... think they only came out with the MKII to keep the costs down = up the profits.

I can see the MKI Affinitys becoming another Abu 55 in years to come.

Strange the rep said the Mk1 had issues with the main shaft and it had been shortened on the Mk2 to make it stronger.It could be sales chat I suppose to get my mate order his

He's got the same ones on ebay too so looks fine it's 150 for the 2 of them plus spare spools 🤔 choices choices this lockdowns burning my savings 😬

My mate got 2 brand new Mk2 for less than £150 but you don't get a spare spool now I don't think.I would offer him £120 with postage if you decide on them

That was roughly what I was thinking 120 they've got spare spools too which is good as I recon they'd be decent for catting aswell
Are you sure?
