aerlex xsa 7000

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

aerlex xsa 7000

#1 Post by g.wyse »

How do lads . Finally back on the beach after a longish lay off. Got to try out the newer model of Aerlex (had the older one which I absolutely swore by as an excellent reel)
Have to say I'm disappointed to say the least , not as smooth as I expected on the retrieve and the bale arm is a prone to snapping back when casting leading to snap off's and the obligatory profanities that follow :evil:

Welcome back Gavin, ohh how things have changed! :-) Hope you're well.

Bring it back and replace with either an Ultegra 10000 @ 220ish or a Penn Affininty 7 or 8000, @ 120 ish.
Blue n White is the new Black!!!
