I've backed okuma reels for 10 years in the trade. Had many a bellend tell me how crap they are.. And 10 years later there all going strong!. And now the okuma reels have come on even more. Good job okuma.
I just recently picked up this reel. I gotta say I love it. Absolutely no problem casting and smooth with 30 pound braided. No problem bringing in 30 inch blues and striper.
I use them on Danube, ( surf version, 1 year now ),for catfish on 0.60 mm mono and 250 grams leads. They do it easily and are stil as new. Reagardless of the slight change in gear feel when spinning empty, when you pull it pulls like new.
Sold my shimano ultegras and purchased these reels iv never looked back a perfect reel at a very realistic price, 👍👍👍 the line lay is excellent don't waste your money on shimanos let's face it shimano from speedcast to the high end reels look the same.
@@ukr1pp3r99 I've got 4 6000 inceptions, 3 of them with 15lb mono and had cats to 45lb and carp to 31lb, literally hundreds of fish on them, can't fault them, I'd say these are as good as the new ultegra 5500 xtd but at £59 each!!! And alot lighter, I use the 4th one with 30lb whiplash and that's for my floater work, again dozens upon dozens of Carp to mid 20s and Never missed a beat, I was dubios about getting reels not made by Shimano or daiwa as I had a few wychwoods over the years when seeking bargains and they all feel to bits, Mitchell avocasts and Penn affinitys and Penn surfblasters all fell to bits, the gears and worm. Shaft just chew up, but I swear to you these okumas are as good as the big brands, the newer shimanos are not like the original ultegra xtb, they where tanks, the modern Shimano stuff is not made to last, as Shimano know people will most likely change tackle every couple of seasons or whenever a new version is released so they don't have to worry about longevity, and okuma offer a 5yr warranty! I've just ordered a set of 3 okuma 8ks today, so I'll upload a honest review, and for the tarts out there I've had most of the high end stuff, at one point I had 9 different custom torrix made up, you don't have to pay big money to get good gear these days
The colour and the handle I think is about the only difference . I use the surf’s for smoothounds , bull huss and rays using braid with 6-7oz leads and they’ve never missed a beat
I recently bought an LS 8K fully expecting to be able to buy an extra spool. Alas no joy. I would also like to have bought an Okuma Rockaway 8000 Baitfeeder. Same story no extra spool available. I already have an Aventa Centerpin and two Aventa Baitfeeders. But no more Okuma's for me.
Spring loaded line clips is the only bit stopping me ordering these reels. I have them on my current reels and are a major pain in the arse having to set the spool in that sweet spot to allow my finger under the spool to push them out and not been able to just wrap the line around the clip. Are these different in any way or just as awkward. When using distance sticks on 3 rods this is the reason im looking at new reels in 1st place??
@@pyroteam9593 Hello! I looked at the link www.prologicfishing.com/product/c2-element-sc-fs-carp-rods/, but your rod is clearly different and does not look like this, and I really liked your rod. Please tell me what it is called or throw a link to it?

Good job okuma.
Iv had a set of epix pro baitrunners since 2007 and I love em, still going strong n super smooth drag.

How is it holding up so far? Seriously looking to buy a set of these reels.

Just ordered two Okuma 8k's. I trust Adam Penning. Had a nice chat with him at a carp trade show.
How are you getting on with them, if i may ask? Looking to buy a set myself.
These reels are going for £65 at the moment,!great reels, superb drag and line lay.
How many reels have a locking bail arm too for this price?
Fantastic reels, full stop. Not just for the money.
Gotta say that that looks more like braid than fluro carbon.
i got an Okuma Dynadrag free when subscribing to Improve your Coarse Fishing mag 16 year ago, i still use it, it's very reliable!
Just ordered 2 of these can't wait to get them
Bought these reels a few weeks back and used at weekend gotta say I’m very impressed with them and didn’t think they were that heavy
U still using these reels would you reccomend
@@imanishay yes still use them and they still as good as day I got them
@@stlcapm good to hear currently lookin to buy some always only used bait runners tho so bit worried i might not get used to them
@@imanishay the quick drag on these is brilliant doesn’t take long at all to get used to you won’t be disappointed
@@stlcapm cheers mate 👍
Nice shorts, very professional.
The best solidity and price TOP 💪

@kimoldman 🤣🤣 just like that Car?..umm yes the Skoda 🤣
Coming from an old DAIWA 7000c and 9000c....I would imagine this would feel a little flimsy.. I am tempted though
I got the Okuma inception 6000 for my 10fts and there are amazing for the money! Do I now get these for my 12fters 😜
The inception still going strong??
@@ukr1pp3r99 it is tremendously good for the price it's almost unbelievable. Especially the clutch works almost like on a magnesium 👌👌👌

Good reels! Very good but they are not for all rods (reel halter)
A mate gave me a old wychwood bait runner for deadbaiting when it gets a little colder but it’s fallen apart think I lol get this
Did you put them on you 10ft rods? How did it go?
Hello! from which company is it fished and which model it;s that rod? I really appreciate any answer!
which rod is this BESAUSE I DON´T UNDERSTAND THISE LAUNGIEG BECAUSE I AM FROM SLOVENIA
Looks like a Prologic natura likely a 12ft 3lb tc ..I have them
Is there any difference between the 8k and surf 8k?
The colour and the handle I think is about the only difference . I use the surf’s for smoothounds , bull huss and rays using braid with 6-7oz leads and they’ve never missed a beat
What Is The spool length 35mm or 45mm?
How much does it weights?
@@carpologytv Translation to English on the Okuma site is not very good!!!!!!!!

These look really good for the money. Anyone think these would be okay on my vader x rs 3.25 TC rod?
What did you get in the end?
What rod is that
Would these be ok on 10ft rods
I wouldnt say so.
Made well yes... but you pay the bigger bucks to have something much lighter .. the same in nearly all area's...
Fist comment yay and also lovely reels

What is the rod you use on the video?
Petko Soul Print probably a prologic.
Prologic c2 element fc

@@freedometr2395 Did you find out which one it was?
Can anyone sugest a good rod to pair tgese with?
Daiwa black widow 12ft 3.5lb
What is the difference between the 8k and the surf 8k?
color and handle i think
Aluminium bail arm...would steel not be better
They already weigh enough at nearly 700g. Steel would just add further heft. Aluminium much lighter!
Plss somewone tell me okuma 8k or t rex 7000
What did you get in the end?
okuma 8k or t-rex?
weight ? ,
740 grams
Same as sonik
Look good... Shame he ruined the video by putting that shed of a bivvy in the background.
You fish on stocked ponds
Spare spools from your local pro logic stockists? Don’t you mean Okuma stockists? You’re not promoting something from your other sponsorship 😂
It's the same company mate...Even waterwolf is a brand of Prologic.
No, they are all an “underbrand” of Svensen sport, a danish company who also owns savage gear.
Fuck me he must of got paid some cash to push these 😂
