Wychwood Extricator 5000 FD

RRP: From £79.99

THIS compact reel offers the casting benefits of a large spool yet remains incredibly compact. This makes it ideal for any tactics, such as stalking and surface fishing, that involve holding your rod and reel for longer periods. The 5000FD is fitted with all the features that you’d expect to find on a reel of this price. One complete turn of the micro-pitch, multi-disc drag takes it from freespool tension to a fighting drag. It is exceptionally smooth and has remarkable cranking power. Not only does it perform well, it looks the part too. It boasts clean, understated, retro looks with a black magnesium body, chrome-look spool and classic dark wooden handle. As well as being a cracking baby bigpit carp reel, its size also makes it perfect for targeting specimen fish such as barbel, tench and bream as well as long-range feeder work. www.wychwoodcarp.co.uk
