Where to Use the Xtractor+ FS 6000

• General Carp Fishing: The 6000 size is the ultimate all-rounder for carp anglers. It provides the extra line capacity needed for medium-to-large stillwaters while fitting perfectly on 9ft and 10ft retractable rods.

• Large River Specimen Hunting: This reel is a formidable choice for river barbel. The free-spool mode is vital for preventing rod-wrenching takes, and the robust graphite body can handle the pressure of heavy leads in fast-flowing water.

• Method Feeder Fishing: The quick retrieval rate and dual line-friendly clips make this a great choice for technical feeder fishing where you need to hit the same spot repeatedly and accurately.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The FS 6000 is the big brother of the Xtractor range and it really shows in the cranking power. Having two spools included is a massive bonusI recommend loading one with a standard 12lb or 15lb monofilament for your everyday carping, and using the second spool for a heavier line or even a braid if youre fishing in particularly snaggy or weedy swims. The matt black finish looks incredibly stealthy on the bank, but the real winner is the micro-adjust front dragits smooth enough to handle those sudden lunges when a big fish sees the net
