Bit of a whirl wind weekend..... Friday was my 10yr wedding anniversary, managed to book the day off work Thursday night, so me n wife had a few drinks and a meal, but before all that, little en was asked to go to Manchester City Youth Academy for a try out... He was proud as punch when he came off at the end. Saturday, found out gonna be an uncle, sister is pregnant, about 9 weeks she says, going to specialist tomorrow. Today is little ens 12th birthday, setting off Manchester in about 20mins, got an activity day planned, something to eat then a tour of Manchester City Etihad Stadium.... He's hoping see 1 or 2 players....or even De Bruyne kit hung in Changing room.

Just had a look at a couple of vids on the Tube the 7000 looks a nice reel and of course is a little bigger and would be slightly heavier. The 6000 can easily handle the distances your after, and Iv had cats up to 22lb using it, nice clutch great line lay with the slow osculation ( which I haven’t seen mention with the 7000 ) got a 5 year guarantee and you can get them around £50 as you know, tho Iv seen them on the go out doors website for £45 last month. What ever your choice is the reels will do a good job and will outlive the both of us … and Elmo lol

Cheers. I’m erring towards the 6000’s. I’m intending to pair them up with my old Sportex 12ft 2 3/4’s, reckon they should complement them nicely.

For Inc6000 enquiries @B B is the man, I love my 8k's though although they are quite heavy but they look smart and really are the best reels I've ever owned, Personally I like the look of the Inc reels over the t Rex, okuma reels seem very bombproof and smooth and quiet, don't think you will regret buying okuma though, quality products,

Yeah I can relate to that . There’s a few I know that are coming out of semi retirement this year . which is good , there’s nothing better than a couple of days on the bank .

So looking at this pic I could be called a Okuma fan boy got nine in total… the first reel on the left must be 20 years plus old and gets used a lot, I always try and get a couple of people fishing for the first time each year and get this small reel out with a float rod.

Nice reels 😲😍

The 8k is a big pit nx to the 6000

Nice reels 😉

That’s a busy weekend… congratulations all round…I was wondering how your boy was getting on with the footy, you must be very proud of him… glad it wasn’t Man Utd 😉

Congrats, have a good day

That looks lovely there matey 👍🏻 hope you’re well .
