Flynn Posted April 6, 2020 Report Posted April 6, 2020 I have been trying to look for a reel that would balance out my 10ft sonik vader x carp rod, any suggestion would be great thanks 👍 Quote
elmoputney Posted April 6, 2020 Report Posted April 6, 2020 I used 5000 emcast evos and found them OK, depends what you want to spend really Quote
smufter Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) As Elmo states, really does depend on how much you want to spend. And also, what are you going to use them for? I use smallish rods (11 footers) and use Daiwa Emblem BR25A's. I find them spot on for my type of fishing. Their smaller size matches my shorter rods perfectly, it's a well balanced set up. The slightly bigger spool helps casting, I love them. Not had a moments problem since going over to them, the only downside for me are that spare spools are horrendously expensive (they only come with one as "standard"). I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reel with a smaller form factor, but they're not the cheapest out there. https://johnsonrosstackle.co.uk/daiwa-carp-reels/17237-daiwa-emblem-br25a.html Edited April 7, 2020 by smufter Quote
bluelabel Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 A 6000 size shimano works... my young apprentice is using a pair of 4000 Aero X Shimmys on his 10 Scopes and they don't half look tasty Quote
snowmanstevo Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 I originally bought these for my barbel fishing but they sit lovely on my 9ft riots. 😬 Quote

bluelabel Posted April 7, 2020 Report Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) they are nice little reels but they do have a bit of a habit for getting line behind the spool... lost mine when a Carp pulled my rod and reel in at Docklow a couple of years ago... I was gutted I have the BP6 as a spod reel on my Dwarf spod rod... works a treat Edited April 7, 2020 by bluelabel snowmanstevo 1 Quote
