Okuma Custom Black CB-60: The Versatile Cult Classic

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Okuma Custom Black CB-60 is one of our all-time bestsellers for the angler who wants that iconic “Big Pit” look in a more balanced, versatile size. While the larger CB-80 is built for extreme winching, the CB-60 is the perfect all-rounder for UK carp waters. It features the same “cult” matte black finish and the signature weighted wooden handle knob that always hangs vertically, ensuring it’s ready to grab the second your bite alarm screams.

The CB-60 is a technical powerhouse, utilizing a Worm Shaft Transmission system for impeccable line lay and a Fast Progressive Drag that allows you to react instantly to a surging fish. At 570g, it balances beautifully on standard 12ft carp rods, providing a high-end feel and professional performance without the cumbersome weight of a traditional sea-sized reel.

High-Performance Specimen Features

Worm Shaft Transmission System: This premium internal system controls the spool’s oscillation with extreme precision, laying the line in tight, even coils. This drastically reduces friction, allowing for smoother and more accurate long-distance casts.
Fast Progressive Drag: A vital feature for modern specimen angling; this drag system allows you to go from a loose setting to a high-pressure “fighting” drag in just a couple of clicks, giving you total control during the critical stages of a fight.
Hydro Block System: To ensure long-term durability, the drag is protected by a specialized water-tight gasket. This prevents water, salt, and grit from entering the drag washers, keeping the system smooth and corrosion-free.
LCS (Line Control Spool): The machine-cut aluminum spool features a specifically designed lip that helps the line transition off the spool with minimal resistance, working in harmony with the Even Flow Roller to prevent line twist.
Weighted Wooden Handle Knob: Beyond its classic appearance, the weight in the handle ensures that the knob always rests in the 6 o’clock position, making it incredibly easy to find and grip during a frantic take.
Metal Line Clip: The spool is equipped with a robust, line-friendly metal clip, allowing you to hit your mark consistently session after session without damaging your mainline.

Where to Use the Okuma Custom Black CB-60

The 6000 size is the ultimate “multi-venue” tool:

UK Carp Fishing: Perfectly suited for 10ft to 12ft rods on gravel pits and commercials. It holds over 300m of 0.35mm line, which is more than enough for almost any UK scenario.
Specimen Pike & Zander: The matte black finish is non-reflective (great for wary predators), and the 12kg drag is more than enough to handle a hard-fighting Pike.
Large River Barbel: The 4.5:1 ratio provides the right balance of torque to retrieve heavy leads in river currents without the reel feeling “labored.”
Small-to-Medium Distance Feeder: Excellent for large-scale Bream and Tench fishing where you need a robust reel to cast heavy feeders but don’t require the massive line capacity of the CB-80.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Custom Black CB-60 comes with a graphite spare spool. We recommend loading the main aluminum spool with a 12lb or 15lb monofilament for your standard carp work, and using the spare spool for a lower-diameter 10lb line to help you gain extra yards when fishing on larger, more open venues
