It was on their website Sunday, I see they've sold out now give them a ring or FB messenger them they were very responsive on FB as i had a couple of questions about them they may be getting more stock.

Good deal, i paid £130 for set of Inc 6000 ..... Agree with previous comments aswell .... The XTB's, XTC's and XTD's are some of the most over rated reels on the market.

On 10ft rods, definately (i have) .... The Okuma's are light, simple, functional and a steal .... I cant comment on longevity as got mine during lockdown

Off the back of this thread I checked parkfield angling and went for the okuma reels + Sonik rod deals

Turns out after I ordered the rods were out of stock but they replaced with more expensive ones and honoured the order..great customer service!

Not used the reels yet but look good

ive used okuma for years and theres old threads on here where i got slated for selling my shimano baby pits and going back to okuma, but there is one bug bear i always had with them all and thats if your carefull the line goes behind the spool, and it fiss me off when that happens, so i went over to the penn afinity with the wiper blade and i love that ,
i would love these little okuma for my 9ft rods, and to the people wondering how they will last im sure they will last very well, i just hope they dont suffer the line going behind the spool like all the old ones, and looking on amazon the very first comment , said it does

I've got a set of fx9s and a set of 6000 baitrunners.
All of them suffer with line getting behind the spool.
I've come to the conclusion that it's just something you've got to accept on the cheaper reels. Not like it happens on every cast
