I am still trying to work out what Okuma reel to get for mainly small water fishing with light rods.
I am leaning towards Inception 6000's but I keep seeing custom blacks pop up on ebay - are they that different to the Inception? any long term users on here that can give me an honest opinion of them?

cheers
Matt

I have both Matt.

The INC 6000's I find the nicer reel to use to be honest but they quite a bit smaller than the custom black reels. I use the custom black as a spomb reel at the moment but it does have a really nice clutch. I honestly think for the money nothing beats them. They are very cheap considering what you get IMO.

I bought a custom black as a reel for a 3rd roving rod and for £50 it's great. I secretly keep hoping that's the rod that goes off
As said lovely clutch but I'd imagine it wouldn't balance aswell as the 6000 on a lighter set up
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
