Before I bite the bullet, anything else I should be looking at for my 12ft 2.5 river rods?
I'm sure the answer is no...

Unless you fancy forking out for Ultegra 5500 ci4s, I'd say go for the Inceptions.
Used mine a couple of times now on 2.5lb E-class - they balance out nicely and are superb for the money. Decent line clips, smooth clutch and the drag is nice and quick to tighten up. Highly recommend them mate 👍🏻

I'm interested in a set of these myself. Could anyone give me a comparison to other reels as to size? They would be replacing a set of Shimano 4500 GT's, so I'm looking for for something similar sized or a little larger, but not as big as say a Crosscast 5000C. I've rung round the local shops but none in stock.

I now have 6 of these 3 for my 12ft set up 3 for my 10ft set up
Fantastic reels just a shame they don't come with spare spools

Do Ukuma do a med baitrunner, that competes with shimano/diawa on quality? Tia.
Thanks for the replies. I only fish the rivers 3 months a year so I'll give them a shot.

They do the Inc 6000's in baitrunner format. Would have thought they are good quality, and only about £60 each.

Do these balance nicely on 12 footers? I have a okuma custom black big pit as a spare and it's a lovely reel. One thing I would say, it's advertised as quick drag but it's anything but imho

got these on a set of 10ft xtractor 3.5lb TC rods, great is all i can say, highly recommended.

I've got mine on light 12 footers (2.5lb e-class) and they go perfectly. Bought them as a stop gap until I had enough brass for ci4 5500s... don't think I'm going to bother getting them, the Inceptions are that good 👍🏻

Yeah, the ls-6k is the one. The 8k one is massive.
