@carpfishinglab all i have to say about them its the best carp reel for under 400 uk pounds yeah baisa or a shimano mag is better but these are a solid 3rd over all I love how strong they are no flexing under heavy casts the wind in handle is a game changer no play at all befor I had the obsidian I had the okuma trio rex I still have them will never part with them but the obsidian blow them out the water I had the shimano ultegra xtd when they came out 5 years back didn't last 6 months befor they started to grind so sold them and got the xte 14000 thought they would be better but they were just as bad so sold them bought the trio rex and still had enough money to buy my self the sonik insurgent as they were on sale for 50 uk pounds at the time I don't have a spod rod I use my carp rods and reels as only use the tiny old korda bait rockets to my stuff gets some hammering but the okumas are the only ones I found to last not need replacing every 3 to 4 years like shimano and daiwa

@@aarondavies8486 a few years ago I had 2 okuma clx 5500 feeder and 4 okuma cb 60, now I have 2 more cb60 reels and for almost a year I have owned 5 okuma flites, recently I also fished with okuma ls-6k and it seemed less noisy and recovers quite fluid. Personally, it left a good impression on me, especially since the price is half.

Surf reel?

[@carpfishinglab]

Absolutely, you can use the Okuma Obsidian 12000 for surf fishing, and it should serve you quite well! This reel has a robust build and excellent performance capabilities that can handle the demands of surf fishing. However, if you're looking for a reel specifically designed for surf fishing, you might want to check out the Okuma Flite Surf. The Flite Surf is tailored to meet the unique challenges of surf fishing, offering features that might better suit your specific needs in that environment. But rest assured, the Obsidian 12000 is a versatile reel that can handle a variety of fishing styles, including surf fishing. Happy fishing!
