Cheers for the suggestions everyone I'll see if there is somewhere nearby with a few of those options.
Must admit, if I only have to spend a ton on 2 okumas that would be a bonus 👍

Unfortuanlty goose my other went last night. Looks like the main bearing is still working but has lost its grease. So when sat for a few days they seize up. First issues in 3 years and they go a week apart.
Got the part number but can't find a replacement still. Have to email a few companies.
Both a spinning now but don't sound like they did. Just ordered 2 okuma inc 6000s to replace them.
Only just bought a brand new gs4000 to replace the one so will have to sell that on and the others as spares

The Okuma 6000's are bang on. I crank in 8 and 10oz leads against the flow on the tidal Trent and they deal with it great, I binned off SS2600's for the same work.

That's not good to hear as I've got 4, only used two since they came out which are still fine but bought 2 more about six months ago incase they stop making them as I think they did with the 3000 version.

I've one of the 6000 okuma s but it's to big on 10ft 2.25tc I think and I'm never going to be using leads over 2oz with this setup.

Yea I'm using 4oz leads on a weedy lake with 10ft 3lb rods. Gutted to be honest as there stunning reels. I'll sell the 3 which will cover the okumas
