Hi, I recently purchased a 6ft sonik xtractor for stalking purposes and just wondering if this reel is suitable for a 6ft rod? Been told its a good reel for larger stalking rods, unless theres something similar in a price range up to about £70ish which would do the job
Cheers!

The Inc 6000 is recommended on numerous forums...
Here is what is posted on Parkfield Angling's sales page for Sonik Exractors.

"Coming out around the same time is the Okuma Inception 6000 mini big pits, again Okuma have hit the nail on the head with these reels matching up perfectly with the 6ft, 9ft, and 10ft rods. These reels are a perfect compact size but still hold a decent amount of line. Add in the bonus of quick drag, a slick matt black finish, and stainless spool and you're got yourself a super sexy setup when pairing these with Xtractor rods.
Someone on here posted a link up for Bobco selling them cheap a month or so ago and they were snapped up within a day.

They look nice. How do they compare size wise to say the daiwa range? Ss2600 size or bigger?

Too big\heavy for a six foot rod stalking.

I second that.
Daiwa gs4000's would be my choice with that rod, I've got 5500 ci4 Ultegras on my 10ft 3lb scopeS atm and think they are too big for my liking and will be changing to GS4000's when I can justify spending the money.

I have FX9;s aswell as the INC6000 and i think the FX9s are nice reel ... but too big for 10ft imo
