Iv got a set of Okuma 6000s use them on my ESP 10ft’s had a crazy catfish in the low 20s and the reels were fine you’d have no trouble handling a big carp on them. They come with a 5 year guarantee the line lay is great and a nice drag have a play with one when your at the show
And welcome to the Forum 👍 g
Okumas are brilliant reels tbh, I use 8k although they might be a little bulky for you,but the inc6000 do get a lot of good write ups, @B B has some I believe, he likes nice reels, I don't think you would go far wrong with a set of those tbh
I think if you stick to the named brands you won’t go far wrong
I have a mix of everything from
daiwa shimano fox and okuma sonik wychwood and never had any troubles with any of them
