I’m looking for a couple of reels and the Aerlex 14000 ATC looks like a  decent reel. It is at the top of my budget £120. What other reels would people suggest at or below this price.

Around the year 2000 I would have said Shimano top range reels were the best to go for, but I don't think quite the same any more and the better value Shimano reels are in the lower price bracket. I can't remember exactly when I bought my Beastmaster 7000's, but it was when I was fishing Nazeing on the Central and South Lagoons so around 10years ago, maybe a bit more. They were around £85 each and I bought 4 at the time. 2 years ago on Ebay they were selling for around £80, so I bought another 3. I've got them on my 2.75lb rods and my 3.25's, and they have handled a fair number of fish. 

The current Beastmaster incarnation is the 14000XC and is around £90. 

I can give you the link via Johnson Ross:

As a tackle shop either mail order or going in personally, Johnson Ross are good people to deal with.
