Great reel so far, build quality feels as good as my Shimano technique mgs xt's but Penn is heavier but that probably helps balance a powerful beach rod better. If I were in the market for three big pit carp reels I would be tempted to buy these over techniums and save a fortune.

A good £40 cheaper I hope.

Not quite that much cheaper I’ll be honest. You positive it’s the XT 7000 you’ve seen and not the standard 7000 long cast?

 

[tdxs133pm]

You positive it’s the XT 7000 you’ve seen

My bad.Was 7000.So XT 7000 £20 cheaper is that about right.
