Yeah, I saw that but when it gave the list of shipping options I thought it looked a bit iffy.
Ordered from somewhere else now

It'll be because they're EU based, Poland I think but I've never been charged any customs or duties.
One to bookmark for the future if you see anything else on there you like

Hi , does anyone know the comparison size wise of the emblem br25a to an okumama inception 6000 ???

about the same ish there slightly smaller than an xtd5500 inc6000 to the right whisker 25a in the middle.
Touraney 5000 far right give you some indication of size
I use inc for spod on 3lb rod for my specialist fishing for bait up feeders and small spomb for the money it’s good I rate it nice line lay out the box.
Inc weighs 528g
Whisker 25 485g (this is my favourite reel of all time at this size)
Tournament 5000 625g
Bit over kill but thought it may help
It’s a nice reel the inc6000 a little over ballanced the handle side but not so much an issue when on a rod or on buzzers

The spool size is slightly longer than a daiwa 25 spool but not as wide, so fairly similar overall in size. Not sure the weight think the emblem is 510g so really not much in it.

Original Castizm is pretty much same body as the Whisker 25QD with the same spool size - Castizm BR25 is slightly longer than the Castizm due to the baitrunner mech and knob at the back; Emblem BR25 is exactly the same reel as the Castizm BR25 barring materials / spec and 'free' spare spool.
Amazing how compact the Tourney 5000s actually are - wondered why I loved mine so much; reckon they'd be fine on my 10's!

Hi Richard,You recieved tham yet? Awaiting your initial impressions
First impressions.......heavier that I thought they would be but my rods spend 99.9% in the rests anyway
Slightly bigger than i'm used to but spool size is good so bought them to use for the tench as well.
I'll put some line on at the weekend and I'll be trying them out
Cheers,
Steve
