Offer the £120 I think that's quite fair

Agree. With spare spools that's about right

I have 5500 XTB Ci4's and they are quite a bit smaller than the Affinity 7000.

Would deffo say the Affinity is too large for 10ft scopes.

Daiwa GS 4000 are perfect on my 10 footers 👍

It's a shame penn haven't brought out a small ss2600 size affinity, I'm sure they'd sell shed loads

I think the mitchell avocast 7000 is exact same reel
As the Penn. They both came out same time.
I got a set and compared them to my mates Penn's
Identical

Still going strong after being used and abused for
Pike and spodding too
Still as smooth as day I got them

This is the one I mean

Not the newer baitrunner one or black one

The bodies do look the same, but the spool and spool caps are different

I use a set of ultegras can get a second hand set of 3 for around 200-250 and they're a brilliant bit of kit for that money only niggle I have with them is the top drag seeming abit cheap and plasticy especially compared to the fox ones but it's a decent reel at a fair price

Shimanos were my first option - I was looking at penns for catting but been told on here and by a few others get penns for all round. Picked up a little set of shimano 6000d reels a few weeks back love the old school shimanos

Should've really got the penns for carp and bigger baitrunners for cats.

I've got 1 shimano OC 8000 that i was planning to use for cats and get another one - but thought the penns would cover both aspects so save myself getting another shimano OC - it was FOC the biggest tackle shop in the country sent it by mistake 😉
