Product Details and Uses

Okuma Carbonite V2 CBV-40RD: The High-Speed Match Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, we find the Okuma Carbonite V2 CBV-40RD to be an exceptional choice for the dedicated match and competition angler. The “RD” signifies a Rear Drag system, a configuration favored by many for its ease of adjustment during a fight. This reel is specifically engineered for speed and efficiency, featuring a high-speed 6.2:1 gear ratio that is perfect for rapid line recovery during high-frequency casting sessions.

Built with a corrosion-resistant graphite body and a rigid metal double handle, the Carbonite V2 provides a balanced, stable retrieve. The inclusion of an aluminum 2-tone match spool (with a shallow profile) ensures that you don’t need hundreds of yards of backing to seat your match-diameter lines perfectly for long-distance casting.

Match-Specific Performance Features

6.2:1 High-Speed Gearing: This allows you to retrieve your terminal tackle or a feeder at high speeds, saving valuable minutes during a match. It is particularly effective when “speed fishing” for silvers.
Double Handle Design: The balanced metal double handle reduces “wobble” on the retrieve and allows you to find the handle instantly after a cast—a crucial benefit for rhythm-based fishing.
Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR): Increases airflow through the ported rotor, drying the reel quickly and preventing the internal corrosion often caused by groundbait-heavy environments.
Precision Elliptical Gearing System: This ensures the line is laid perfectly on the shallow match spool, reducing friction during the cast and allowing for greater accuracy when hitting a clip.
Round Metal Line Clip: Unlike plastic clips that can damage fine-diameter lines, this smooth metal clip is designed to be line-friendly, allowing you to fish at a consistent distance with confidence.
Rear Drag System: The rear-mounted knob allows for quick, safe adjustments while playing a fish without your hand getting in the way of the line or spool.

Where to Use the Carbonite V2 CBV-40RD

The Carbonite V2 is a versatile tool for both stillwater and river applications:

Commercial Match Fishing: Ideal for use with a waggler or light feeder. The high-speed retrieve is perfect for getting your rig back quickly to capitalize on a feeding frenzy.
River Trotting: The rear drag and high-speed ratio make it a great companion for trotting a float for Dace, Roach, and Chub, where you need to pick up line slack instantly on the strike.
Feeder Fishing for Silvers: The 40-size body and precision gearing provide the torque needed to reel in medium-sized Bream and Skimmers from distance.
Method Feeder: While primarily a match reel, the 8kg drag and robust gearing are more than capable of handling the odd “bonus” Carp encountered on commercial waters.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: This reel comes with both a shallow match spool and a regular graphite spare spool. We recommend putting your high-tech match mono on the aluminum spool for your primary fishing and using the deeper graphite spool for a heavier backup line in case the wind picks up or you need to target larger fish.
