shimano aerlex 7000/biomaster 8000

#1 Post by johnjb »

After being away from sea fishing for several years, i am in the process on obtaing new gear.
What would be the best preference of fixed spool reel aerlex 7000 or biomaster 8000, the reel will be mainly used for shore fishing?
I realise that there is only a few pound between model and Belfast angling centre stock both models
Any comments
