What knot do you use for spooling the okuma 6000 inc reel?

Cheers. Did you put backing on yours? It's quite a small reel so maybe it's not worth it

I regularly use 10ft Free Spirit 2 3/4 test Hi S rods - I pair them with Shimano 5000RE baitrunners, which balance them perfectly. Just a shame that Shimano dropped the 5000 size from their range, as the 4000 are just a bit too small IMO. Else, if I think I might be fishing a bit further out, the Castizm QD is what goes on my 10ft rods - the Daiwa is quite compact and very light, so sits well on a 10ft rod.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
