#1 Post by Gabbey11 »

Was looking at

Both around £100 but as I said first one im ever gonna own, any suggestions, or even ideas
for a muliplier for about this price. Both around half price atm so may need quick response on this
Thanks
Dean
Sorry also need to add the penn mag 2 series 515 or 525 about another 40 pound on top but dont know is it worth it
