5 Things To Know

It is a 12000-size Okuma carp reel supplied with an extra spool and two reducers.
The C-40X carbon frame, sideplates and rotor are there to keep weight down.
The 35mm spool stroke and super-slow oscillation support controlled line lay for distance casting.
The DLC-coated Even Flow Roller helps reduce line friction at a key contact point.
The 520g weight is light for a big-pit style carp reel with this level of capacity.

Product Information

The Okuma Obsidian Carp Reel Inc Spare Spool is an ultra-light big-pit carp reel aimed at anglers who want a modern long-cast reel with a spare-spool setup included. The listed Obsidian model is a 12000-size carp reel built around a 35mm spool stroke.

Okuma uses C-40X carbon for the frame, sideplates and rotor. That material choice is central to the reel's low-weight design, while the aluminium shaft and ultra-light spool keep the moving parts light.

Line lay comes from the 35mm stroke, super-slow oscillation and worm-shaft transmission. Those systems are there to place line evenly on the spool for distance casting and tidy retrieval. The reel also includes a frictionless main-shaft design, one-piece bail and DLC Even Flow Roller. These details focus on smooth line travel and reduced wear at key contact points.

The saved specification gives 8 + 1 bearings, 12kg maximum drag, 103cm retrieve per handle turn and 520g weight. It also includes an extra spool and two reducers, which adds flexibility for different lines.

The Obsidian suits anglers who want big-pit capacity and distance features without a heavy reel body. Its spare-spool package also helps when switching between mainlines for different venues, ranges and seasonal fishing situations with confidence.

Features and Specifications

Feature	What this means
C-40X Carbon Frame, Sideplates and Rotor	Okuma's C-40X is a high-grade graphite carbon material used throughout the body, sideplates, and rotor. It keeps the reel extremely light without sacrificing rigidity, and it resists corrosion well so it holds up in wet and muddy bankside conditions.
Cyclonic Flow Rotor	The rotor is designed with vents that allow air and water to flow through rather than sit inside the reel. This helps dry the internals faster and reduces the chance of corrosion building up over time, which is useful if you fish in the rain or near the water's edge.
Ultralight Spool and A7075 Aluminium Shaft	The spool is kept as light as possible, and the shaft it sits on is machined from A7075 aluminium, which is a particularly strong and lightweight alloy. Together they reduce the overall weight of the reel significantly, cutting down fatigue on long sessions where the rods are in your hands a lot.
Frictionless Main Shaft Design	The main shaft is engineered to eliminate resistance as the spool moves during retrieve. This means reeling in feels noticeably smoother and lighter, which matters when you're playing a fish or winding in at range repeatedly throughout a session.
Super-Slow Oscillation and 35mm Stroke	Oscillation refers to how the spool moves up and down as line is retrieved. A super-slow oscillation rate combined with a 35mm stroke lays the line in tight, even, overlapping layers. This improves casting distance and accuracy because the line leaves the spool cleanly without coiling or bunching.
Worm Shaft Transmission System	A worm shaft drives the spool movement rather than a conventional cam system. This produces a more consistent and precise oscillation, which ties in with the superior line lay and contributes to the smooth, wobble-free feel when winding.
One-Piece Bail	The bail arm is formed from a single continuous piece of wire rather than being jointed. This removes a weak point that can flex or fail under pressure, making the bail more reliable and longer lasting.
DLC Even Flow Roller System	The line roller has a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, which is an extremely hard surface finish that resists grooving from the line passing over it. It also helps guide the line evenly onto the spool, reducing the risk of tangles and prolonging the life of your mainline.
Carbonite Drag System with Fast Progressive Drag	Okuma's Carbonite drag uses carbon fibre washers to deliver smooth, consistent resistance when a fish takes line. The fast progressive setting means a small turn of the drag knob produces a noticeable increase in pressure, giving you quick, precise control when a fish makes a sudden run.
9HPB + RB Bearing Setup	The reel is fitted with 9 high-performance bearings plus a roller bearing. More quality bearings generally means a smoother, more stable retrieve and less play or wobble in the mechanism, which you'll notice most when winding in quickly or under load from a fish.
Tangle Guard Rotor with Rotor Brake	The rotor is shaped to stop line from slipping behind it and wrapping around the shaft, which is a common source of frustrating tangles. The rotor brake prevents the rotor from spinning freely when the bail is open, keeping everything tidy when you're casting or setting up.
Ultralight Screw-In Handle	The handle screws directly into the body rather than using a folding or clip-in mechanism, which keeps it secure and wobble-free in use. It is also built with weight-saving in mind, contributing to the overall lightweight feel of the reel during a long session.
Spare Spool and Two Reducers Included	The reel comes with an extra spool straight out of the box, so you can pre-load two different lines and swap between them quickly at the waterside. The two included reducers allow you to adjust the spool capacity, making it easier to use lighter or thinner lines without overfilling or underfilling the spool.
