Paul
I was after some new mini big pit reels for some 10ft carp rods but didn't want to spend £100's i ended up buying
3 Okuma INC-6000FD after recommendation from a few people and i can't believe how good they are for the money.
I think they would be ideal for piking.

i bought 2 of those same okuma,s can’t believe the quality for the money

What rods are they to go on Paul?

Nothing fancy needed for piking imo, they just need to be reliable and good at cranking in heavy weights..

I use Shimmy 3500b for close range and for anything else the old Shimmy Biomaster 7000's XS with the wooden handles. Always some on Ebay for around £25-40 each, functional work horses. The GT's are just as good.

Paul,
I bought an Xtractor 5000 in the autumn to use on my spopper rod. It feels solid, has a good rate of retrieve and a large spool with loads of capacity (too much!), my opinion is it’ll do you a great job

Using the on 2 10ft rods using my diawa theory’s the the min on them which are off my barbel rods just want a other set just for the piking rods them Okuma look nice don’t want anythink to big and heavy for them had feel of the Nash ones other day at shop didn’t like them at all

do you use them on your barbel rods
thank you

 

[Terry Harman]

This is another vote for the Okuma FD60. I have two paired up with my 10ft rods for canal carp work. They are fantastic bits of kit for their price point. I'm a big Okuma fan anyway but these are excellent performance wise and a bit of a head turner in the style department.
