The 4000 oc is perfectly adequate for most feeder fishing and the drag is smooth and strong should you hook a running fish. I bought a lighter feeder rod for the bream swims and have fitted it with a baby baitrunner, the Okuma Ceymar 3000 baitfeeder. The drag on this light little reel is said to manage up to 8kg, that should do should an unexpected carp turn up in the bream swim.
Some of the Okuma reels are very good value and I had had several for sea fishing without any failures.
My bigger 6000 OC is for heavy water conditions in the winter, copes with big feeders and drifting weed. The 8000 OC I originally bought for sea fishing, very capable is proved to be for that scenario. Now it's on my telescopic pike rod that is my standby rod, just in case the carp appear whilst I am fishing for other species.
I think I can stop buying reels now!
