Any recommendations?
Preferably quick drag...

Edit - the ' has been stripped from the title...

I will take a look, thanks.

How about the Daiwa Emcast 25a or the Okuma Inception 6000?

I'd say the emcast 25A would be bit big that's more like a mini big pit size and not seen the size of the inception 6000 size reel they seem to be out of stock everywhere at the moment

I have a 6ft scope and wouldn't want my inceptions on it. I currently have an SS2600 and it feels like a much better balanced setup. The Okumas in my opinion are too big for anything below 9ft

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this, I'm selling an SS850 which will be a good match, it's in classifieds if you're interested in ‘cult' reels.

Have you tried a centrepin?

I typically use a pin on my 10' stalking rod, but was going to go for a fixed spool on the shorter rod...

Might end up sticking the pin on it though!

I actually missed the 6' bit, I don't like pins on really short rods for carp tbh
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
