Stronger main shaft as the original did suffer some flexing told that by the rep which I was shocked about to be honest

Never noticed that myself mate, had cats over 60 on them too which I'd have thought would show it up tbh. Either way, bloody good reels for way less than similar spec shimano or daiwa offerings

Thanks for the replies guys 👍

Yeah I was shocked when he mentioned it my mate had a spool cap issue and they sent him some out no problems at all. I like how the handle folds on the new version too like you say for the money they are superb

Handles fold on the old version too mate

In reply to Post #485
Yeah I know mate but was it by a button or sliding the collar out the way I can't remember

In reply to Post #486
You know what, I'd never noticed it was different from the old models tbh

Are the spools the same on the two of them as well ie interchangeable?
I have the 2s and looking at buying some more spools but they are off the ltd

I'm not sure

I heard Affinities suffer with bad line twist

In reply to Post #491
Well whoever told you that is f.o.s

In reply to Post #491
No line twist. Whoever told you that is doing something seriously wrong.

I've got a set of the Affinty 3s in 7000 size and love them, no line twist at all.

There's lots of possible reasons for line twist. I've had 2 sets of 7000's and never suffered with noticeable line twist.
