Ss1600 reel

[Wayne Carroll]

I've handled the SS2600 but how does the 1600 compare in size and performance for small river barbel fishing? My fishing has developed over the years from a 2 rod setup, I now prefer a single rod keeping mobile and often touch ledgering.

I see the 1600 is on offer at around £85. I currently have 4000OC but the SS1600 weigh less which I like the thought of.

I use ss850, same size as ss1600 on my 11ft barbel rod on Thames, perfect.

To give you an idea of size, here’s 4000d, same as 4000oc, ss850 and ss2600

Thanks, the size looks about the same as a Shimano 4000
