Product Details and Uses

Okuma Carbonite B-Feeder CBBF-5000: The Robust Entry-Level Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, we find the Okuma Carbonite B-Feeder CBBF-5000 to be one of the most cost-effective ways to get into specimen angling without compromising on essential features. The “B-Feeder” is a dedicated “freespool” reel, utilizing Okuma’s Auto-switch system. This allows a fish to take your bait and run with minimal resistance, only engaging the main drag once you turn the handle—a vital feature for preventing “rod-in-the-water” moments when targeting aggressive-hitting species.

The 5000 size is the “heavy-hitter” of the series, boasting a massive 12kg Max Drag and a high-torque 4.5:1 gear ratio. This makes it a formidable tool for those who need a bit more “grunt” when fishing larger venues or tackling powerful river fish. Built around a corrosion-resistant graphite body, it is designed to be a durable workhorse that can withstand the elements.

Core Performance Features

Auto-Switch Freespool System: This rear-lever system allows the spool to rotate freely, letting a fish run with the bait. The moment you turn the handle to strike, the system disengages and puts you in direct control via the main front drag.
12kg Multi-Disc Drag: Utilizing a multi-disc, oiled felt system, this reel offers an impressive 12kg of stopping power—perfect for halting a large Carp or Barbel heading for snags.
Quick-Set Infinite Anti-Reverse: Eliminates “back-slap” in the handle. When you stop winding, the reel stops instantly, ensuring better hook penetration and a more solid feel.
S-Curve Oscillation System: Ensures that the line is laid back onto the spool in a consistent pattern, reducing the risk of “bedding in” and improving casting distance.
RESII: Computer-Balanced Rotor: Even at this accessible price point, the rotor is balanced via computer simulation to eliminate vibration, providing a smooth retrieve even under heavy load.
Machine-Cut Brass Pinion Gear: High-grade brass internals provide the durability needed for high-pressure situations, outperforming the cheap alloy gears often found in budget reels.

Where to Use the Carbonite B-Feeder CBBF-5000

The 5000 size is the ultimate “utility” specimen reel:

Entry-Level Carp Fishing: An ideal choice for newcomers to the sport. The 5000 size holds plenty of line and has the drag capacity to handle double-figure Carp on both lakes and commercials.
Heavy River Barbel Ledgering: The 4.5:1 ratio provides the winching power needed to pull heavy leads through fast currents and battle powerful river fish.
Specimen Tench & Bream: Perfect for fishing multiple rods on alarms. The freespool system ensures that a run is indicated clearly without the fish feeling the weight of the rod.
Deadbaiting for Pike: The freespool function is essential for Pike fishing to prevent the fish from dropping the bait due to resistance.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Carbonite B-Feeder includes a graphite spare spool. We recommend loading your main spool with a standard 12lb or 15lb monofilament for general specimen work and using the spare spool for a heavier 20lb line if you plan on fishing near heavy snags or lily pads.
