Dale112 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I am looking to get back into carp fishing and am now starting to build my setup back up after it all being stolen a few years ago, can anybody direct me on the best size/weight reels for using on 10ft sonik xtractor rods?

elmoputney Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) It depends how much you wish to spend, but having owned my okuma 8ks for a while now I am happy to recommend okuma reels they are so smooth, I think the 8k might be a touch big for 10ft rods but have a look at the okuma Inc6000 for the money okuma are brilliant This shop even agrees with me and does a deal on them both 👍 https://parkfieldanglingcentre.com/collections/special-offers/products/sonik-xtractor-okuma-inception-6000-mega-deal?variant=29410304229487 @B Bhas the Inc6000 and the 8ks he is also an okuma fan Edited October 10, 2021 by elmoputney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale112 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 Thanks for your reply Elmo I was looking to spend around £100 on each reel forgot to put that part in. That looks like a good deal to me I will have a look into this as I have not yet bought my rods 👍 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) As Elmo says the 8k would be on the big side but the okuma inc6000 be better, had a 22 lb cat on the 6 lovely drag great line lay under £70 and with a 5 year guarantee. What ever your choice is try the reel on your rod if you can. Edited October 10, 2021 by B B Bad spelling elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
