Reels

When it comes to carp angling, the gear we choose can make all the difference between a memorable catch and a missed opportunity; enter the Okuma Obsidian reels. We’ve had the privilege of putting these reels through their paces, and it’s safe to say that Okuma has unleashed an angling powerhouse.

At first glance, the Obsidian reels display an air of sophistication and quality. The sleek, matte-black finish coupled with the precision-engineered components makes it clear that Okuma has spared no expense in creating a reel that’s both visually stunning and performance-driven. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the ergonomic handle to the finely tuned drag system.

The smoothness and precision of the drag system allow the angler to seamlessly adjust the tension with minimal effort. Whether you’re battling a hard-fighting carp or fishing tight to structure, the Obsidian reels offer a level of control and responsiveness that can make the difference when it really counts, stopping a carp in its tracks and avoiding those dreaded hook-pulls when under the tip.

The Obsidian’s line lay is a thing of beauty, which all comes down to the super-slow oscillation and worm shaft transmission system. The line is distributed evenly, minimising friction and maximising casting distance. Whether you’re targeting distant features or presenting your rig in tight spots, the Obsidian’s line lay inspires confidence and also helps improve the working longevity of your line.

Durability is another area where the Obsidian reels truly shine. Constructed with a lightweight C-40X carbon frame and side plates, an ultra-light screw-in handle, an ultra-light spool and an aluminum shaft and a robust gearing system, these reels are built to withstand the rigours of hardcore carp angling. They are more than capable of handling the demands of long casting sessions and relentless battles with hard-fighting carp. You can trust that the reels will stand the test of time, making them a worthy investment.

The reels offer a host of other features. The oversized line roller reduces line twist, the rotor braking system locking the bail arm in place during casts, and the ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip for extended periods of winding. These reels have been designed with the angler in mind, giving the angler exactly what’s required.

In summary, the Okuma Obsidian reels are worth looking at if you are after a new set of reels. They combine impeccable craftsmanship and great performance. Whether you’re an avid carp angler or a weekend enthusiast, these reels are sure to be a worthwhile investment.
