I couldn't agree more with you, I have some 65s's paired with sonik xtractor recon 8 ft's, they are fantastic quality, excellent to use and a perfect match All my carp reels (apart from some shimano 4000gt baitrunners) are now Wychwood, as I also have some older riots, solace 10 acs's and dispatch 7500's Whenever I go for a new set I try out all other makes and models but always come back with wychwoods and they NEVER let me down
I totally agree on the angling direct big pits the bait runners! They were surprisingly well made better that the vader x and even my nash bp10s! 100% recommend 👌
The fs 8000 would match up nicely with the new sonik xtractor pro 10ft rods (always full cork) coming out next year. Might just do that as want the 3.5lb with 50mm butt ring so a 8000 reel be just up the right street. And £60 for 8000 fs reel is really good.
@@matthewcadle7200 okay i can get that, personally i like rings that are closer to the blank but imo the packing dimension and vulnerability to transport damage defeat any (vague) practical purpose like casting ability(on a 10ft rod lol) anyways
"Pedigree"? Much as I like my JRC kit, the Mitchell MX6 Fullrunner range have a far better pedigree for similar money - they invented the thing! They're also 4+1, also lightweight polymer body and alloy spool, but brilliant line lay and excellent clutch control (even if you don't use the 2nd BR clutch). I suppose these fill the gap between NGT and Mitchell / Shimano, personally I'd still pick the MX6s though for both stalking and distance.
How did Mitchell invent bait/free runners? Shimano invented the concept in the 1980’s, then Daiwa and Abu brought out versions very early 90’s. Since then almost all companies have produced something similar.
@@Backs4more I meant invented the modern open faced reel as opposed to the older centre pin design. I don't know who invented the BR to be honest, but I do know that my Shimano baitrunners are nowhere near as good as my Mitchells. I'm not anti-shimano, their customer service is *way* better than Mitchell's! But try an MX6 fullrunner if you collect baitrunners, you'll be pleasantly surprised
Wychwood Riot 65s or 75s. Won't get better for your money. but just my opinion 🙃
Agreed mate I’ve got them and they’re class, put a quick drag system and love them

Yup totally agreed. I have had my 65s for a few years and they havnt missed a beat.
Okuma inc-6000 are good value for money reels got them on my 9ft rods
Okuma 8000 and the new Advanta Carp reels are exellent value for money.

Never seen these in the flesh. Dont think they are marketed very well.
My mate had the big pit advantas and the reel itself bent playing a fish and the line guard snapped off

What exactly do you like about the big butt ring? I dont think it does give you any advantages on the rod

Anybody that change the drag into quickdrag of rv7000?
you could try taking the spring out of the drag knob,,worked for me on some daiwa reels
I managed to scoop up a JRC DR 10k for £30
Is it any good?
@@lewish6044get a shimano xr xtd 14000, no better reel on the market for a mid range reel
Has anyone bought an RV 7000, what's it like?
I have 2 on the rova 10ft. Nice compact set for holidays or stalking. The drag can better.
And very lightweight for travel. I have the rova 2 rodholder as well.
AlmostTwice the price of a seaknight windrunner 111 match reel and far less quality
