Never used the okumas or held them, but really like the look of them.
Had the emblem 19 45s and really like them. But wondered if the okumas are as good or better. Both similar money
There to pair up with some distance rods ( 13ft tx7s ) and will mainly be used for range work
Thank you

Had exactly the same dilemma. Had the emblems and made the switch to the obsidians. Haven't regretted it at all.

I've been using the obsidians since launch and very impressed with them, seriously good value for the price, very light and excellent smooth clutch.

Hi, thought Obsidian main shaft is Aluminium ?
One set of the spool reducers is as useful as a Chocolate Fireguard IMO (Capacity left on spool very small).
Anybody know what they could be used for ?
Bob
ps Got 3 Obsidian's but not used yet.

Hi, on Obsidians, got 3 spools with 15 LB ESP Syncro XT on them, 3 spools with braid on them 45 LB 0.28mm, prob them with one set of the reducers on them.
The other reducers, capacity left after putting them on, thinness of braid, amount of line on spool. Don't seem enough for anything Carp wise. You put reducers on spool & theres nearly nowt left.
Still like to know why Okuma as supplied these reducers.
Anybody who has Obsidians used them for anything ?
Other reducers supplied as above, iv'e used OK, should have supplied at least 2 sets of these.
Bob
ps Obsidian Reel is the same as the Salt Water version.
Whether reducers are related to some international line caught standards ?

Found the obsidians for £123 a reel, seems a bargain
