I've just bought some Daiwa 10' rods and paired them with Okuma 6000 Inc reels. Spot on, but I haven't seen or tried the other reel.

The 6000's are smaller. That's what I'd go with.

I'm so tempted into getting a set of custom black reels, although been told internals are made of monkey metal and are throw away reels. But at 39.99 each they seem so cheap and with a 5 year guarantee?!

The 6000 are absolute gems , worth every penny , problem is finding anywhere that has got any stock.

Yeah, but 6000's are only a bit dearer. When they first come out, you could pick them up for £40 apiece, when I bought mine around Christmas, they were about £50 apiece. The last time I saw them a couple of weeks ago, they were £60 apiece on ebay. They were only increasing in price because of their scarcity!! Once they are back in stock everywhere, they will return to a "normal" price (though I think the days of £40 a reel are gone).

When I rang around looking for some, the shops were telling me that stock would be in around March, so just hang tight and you will get hold of the Inc 6000's.
