5 Things To Know

At a listed 486g it is a compact reel in the big-pit feeder format.
The 12kg maximum drag gives strong stopping power for larger freshwater fish.
It has a 5.3:1 gear ratio for a fairly quick retrieve.
The shallow spool holds 180m of 0.25mm line, so it takes feeder mainlines without excess backing.
The 30mm long-stroke spool and worm shaft oscillation lay the line evenly across the spool.

Product Information

The Okuma 6K Feeder Reel is a compact big-pit style reel made specifically for feeder fishing on small and medium-sized freshwater venues. Rapala's current UK Okuma page lists it as the 6KFD model with a 6000-size feeder format, with an overall shallow feeder spool and long stroke rather than a deep carp spool setup.

Casting control is the main theme, built around a 30mm long-stroke spool and super-slow worm shaft transmission. Those features help line leave and return evenly, which matters when fishing clipped-up at range with mono or braid.

The listed specification includes a 5.3:1 gear ratio, 486g weight, 12kg max drag, 3+1 bearings and 0.25mm/180m line capacity. That puts it in the distance feeder space without making it as large or deep-spooled as many carp-style reels.

Okuma adds a corrosion-resistant graphite body, machined brass pinion gear, computer-balanced rotor, rotor brake, Even Flow line roller and two round metal line clips. The heavy-duty one-piece aluminium bail is there to reduce tangles with fine braids and repeated feeder casts.

This is strongest as a distance feeder reel for carp, bream and larger commercial or natural-water work. It suits anglers who want compact distance casting with feeder-friendly line capacity, two clips and controlled line lay.
