I still have okuma interceptors on 6 spinning rods must have had them 20 years still as new but I do look after my gear.

Between the GS4000 and Inceptions at the moment

I've got the gs4000 as well on 9ft rods good reels so either of your choices will be fine

Was hoping for some discounts over the bank holiday but nothing materialising - Can anyone point me in direction of a good deal on the Okuma Inceptions (first choice) or Daiwa GS4000 .... will also consider second hand if anyone whats to part with theirs (looking for 3 .... must be excellent/mint condition)

If you don't mind going slightly smaller in the GS4000 reel size hull angling are doing the GS3000 size for £47.99 each or vale royale angling are doing 20% off

Thanks for heads up. GS3000 is a bit small for what i want and unfortunately Vale dont stock either

Ignore last couple of posts. Have just ordered a set of Inceptions

Thanks for the recommendations of the Inceptions ... Balance perfectly on a set of 2.25lb Chub 11' Smallwater rods

they look a very good buy be interested to hear how you get on with them

First impressions are good, . .... Though when compared to my Shimano Baitrunners and Fox FX9/FX11 they do feel a little lightweight (not a criticism as I wanted something lighter in weight) so not sure I would put on my heavier test curve rods , but that might be an unwarranted concern. In a world where most people moan about prices, it is amazing what can be bought nowadays for less than £50

they look the dogs ******** too

yep, they are certainly pretty little reels

what are people's thoughts on the Okuma 6000 with a 9ft rod? I found the Emcast 25a too big and the SS2600 just right.
