Leeda’s latest reels are a must for carp

Leeda’s latest bad boys are a must for big carp

LEEDA’S new Rogue brand has two additions in the shape of these super value big pit and freespool 6500 and 7500-sized reels.

Both all-black models look to be the perfect tools for the budding angler targeting big carp, and are packed with features including superstrong graphite compound bodies that are not only very durable, but give the reels a pleasantly lightweight feel.

The dedicated freespool (Fs) model makes instant contact with a fish the moment you get a run, and is ideal for anyone looking for distancecasting prowess combined with the convenience of freespool bite control.

The big pit (Fd) reel is compact, with a wide spool suited to tactics including Method feeder and surface work, not just long-range casting.

A decent front drag is easily adjusted to your requirements when allowing line to be taken under pressure, or when playing fish.

The slightly elongated die-cast power handle generates a huge amount of cranking power, which should make short work of the heaviest fish, and the large, handily-placed anti-reverse switch at the back of the reel’s body is easy to operate.

Other key features on both reels include 5 + 1 stainless ball-bearings for a super smooth retrieve, and super-slow oscillation gearing that produces a perfectly flat line lay that adds distance to the cast.

Price: £39.99 (both models)
