Any feedback on the wychwood riot 45 and 55 reels? I've got a pair of 2 1/2s I use on the river and my old baitrunners have served their time. These look nice at a very reasonable price.

My other half has the 65 and 75 riots and really likes them.
I would personally also also consider the Okuma INC-6000...

I've got 3 65s and they are great value. I'm going to be upgrading them soon and I'm looking at the Okumas as well

I had the old riot 65, had a set of 3, 2 broke and the front drag messed up on them both, the last one for relegated to a spod reel but that'll be going in the bin soon. I hope they'd have sorted this issue in the new models but I can't comment.
Fyi the okuma 6000 Inc are a fair bit smaller than the riot 65

Cheers. I've actually got the original riot as my spod reel. I've given it a hard time and the reel is OK but the drag has gone!
Okuma looks nice, would you say they're similar size to ss26 or 6000 bait runners?

I also had a set of wychwood bait runners years ago and they went too so personally I won't be touching wychwood reels again.
The okumas are larger than ss2600 I can't say in comparison to other 6000 reels. I have mine on 10ft xtractors and love them, I'm not against putting them on my 12ft rods either but I have my Penn's for that.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who does like my riot 65s!
I was looking at the Okuma 8k reels to replace the riots. Picking up some new rods tomorrow night and feel its only right to get some new reels too!
