Advantages: Excellent value for money, good drag system, good capacity Disadvantages: None I have fond yet
...am, however, using 30lb braid and emptied the whole 300yd spool onto this reel!!
The reel is not heavy and balances perfectly on a 10 ft spinning rod.
Okuma also back this reel up with a 5 year warranty
At only £39.99 for this reel it really is a superb value for money piece of tackle and I cannot fault it it any way...

Advantages: Cheap and very effective Disadvantages: none
...I have been searching for a cheap carprod for a while now and thought for what money I had I would not be able to get a rod with a quality name on it like such as fox. Having brought fox products before I have never been disappointed by the quality so when I realised fox where producing such a cheap rod I felt I had to try it. To be honest it was so inexpensive that I doubted it at first when I definitely shouldn't of but now I have it I have caught many carp on it the biggest being 36lb. It handles all fish exceptionally well as absorbs most of the pressure so you don't have to. Casting wise again the rod is superb and can reach long distances without much force being applied. I believe that this rod is ideal for anybody especially if you are new to carp fishing due to the price of only £50 brand new....

The function of this rear drag knob is to control the amount of drag in bait feeder mode, at the flick of the bait feeder lever which feels nice and positive you can set the spool drag to whatever you like using the rear knob, i like to have it set very slack so if a big fish takes off with my bait and i wasnt watching my rod tip the reel screams in a satisfying manor to warn me im in business, As soon as you turn the reel and strike, the bait runner lever clicks into the off position and drag control is then governed by the front drag system.
The reel comes...
