Maybe you could try adding a little more/different grease to increase the range?
Im looking forward to getting a set of these to fish pits near me

Little update, as I’ve been out on the bank with them, wasn’t casting at all though, few flicks and poling out rigs.
The reels look and feel great on the rod, I have them paired with customised Aircurves, the balance on these are perfect, they’re unbelievably light, but robust feeling too, my only negative which I think would be most peoples positive, is I think the clutch is a bit too quick, I’d rather a half a turn from tight to loose, these are around a quarter of a turn, but each click makes a difference!
Hope that next time I’m out, I can do some casting, and catch one or two, if anyone’s interested, I’ll update again afterwards.

I have just bought these, sold my Penn Affinity III’s for them, when I receive them, I’ll report back, should be out on the bank with them this weekend coming too.
Seen and heard good things, so let’s hope it’s a good swap!

I'm not sure on that but if Tony at Future Fishing rates these Okumas they must be a very good reel

I was tempted to buy a set of Okuma Obsidian, but a few carp tackle shops and other carp fishers told me that Okuma reels are not of the same quality level as Shimano/Daiwa, so I decided to keep the 14,000 XTE.
After playing a few fish on the XTE, still not completely satisfied with the reels, on one of them the line guard flew out while casting, and yes the spool was turned all the way down, and now i always have to turn the spool once after casting to get it loose again, I'll have to take it to a Shimano center soon.
On paper the Okuma Obsidian 12000 looks top, but I still hesitate to buy them to replace the XTE
I can buy them at a shop in Germany near me in Belgium for 162.22 (£140.80) which seems like a fair price to me

Thinking of changing from my 10 year old ultegra ci4 xtb reels and seen the obsidian reels whos spec seem too good for the money - any owners confirm what they are like
