Okuma Custom Black CB-60/CB-80

When you’re targeting powerful carp or tackling hard-fighting pike, your reel needs to do more than just look the part — it needs strength, smoothness and absolute reliability under pressure. The Okuma Custom Black delivers all three, wrapped in a stunning matte black finish that looks as serious as your session intentions.

This isn’t just another big pit-style reel. It’s a purpose-built workhorse engineered for long casts, controlled line lay, and total confidence when the clutch starts ticking.

Engineered for Smooth, Accurate Casting

The Custom Black features:

Even Flow Roller II technology – Promotes exceptional line lay for smoother casting and reduced twist
Worm Shaft Transmission System – Minimises line friction for longer, more controlled casts
LCS Line Control Spool – Designed to improve line management and distance performance
Metal line clip – Secure and reliable when clipping up to spots

Whether you’re fishing at range on large UK carp waters or working the margins for wary fish, this reel lays line evenly and peels it off effortlessly.

Fast Progressive Drag – Total Fish Control

When that rod hoops over and a big carp makes its first run, you need a drag system that responds instantly.

The fast progressive drag allows you to move from locked-up to free-running in just a couple of clicks — ideal for:

Big carp making sudden lunges
Pike runs on heavier setups
Close-quarters control work

It’s smooth, powerful and confidence-inspiring.

Built to Last – No Matter the Conditions

Durability is where the Custom Black really earns its stripes.

3+1 stainless steel bearings
Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing
Machine-cut anodised aluminium spool
Hydro Block gasket system – Helps protect internal components from water ingress and corrosion
Spare graphite spool included

Finished with a weighted wooden handle knob that rests in a perfect vertical position every time, this reel combines classic style with modern performance.
