Penn Affinity LC 8000

[mardenq]

whats the difference between these and the surfblasters,im buying a reel to go with the new triplex t160fs ive bought for clean mixed beaches,ive got my ultegra c14 that im using on my t-rock off the rocks plus ive got a 6000 opus bull with 80lb braid for heavier ground.im looking at the penn for clean/mixed probs with mono as ive got brain on all the ultegra spools
anyone got or use one ? my reels are washed down after every use so it will be looked after

Had no probs with my affinitys, even used them over rough ground before I got the ultegras. The foot flexes I little bit more than the shimanos when winding fish in but they are still a good reel. Cast mint and great line lay
Have heard of a few problems with the roller bearing seizing but mine have been sound..

anyone got the 7000 and 8000 ?.is there much difference in the size of the reel itself or is it just spool depth
