Okuma Big Bomber Spod BBS-7000S – With Braid

Okuma Big Bomber Spod BBS-7000S: Ready-to-Fish Spodding Efficiency

At Gerrys Fishing, we find the Okuma Big Bomber Spod BBS-7000S to be the ultimate grab and go solution for the modern carp angler. Unlike most reels that require the extra expense and effort of spooling up, the 7000S model comes factory-fitted with high-quality braided line. This is a dedicated baiting tool designed to handle the high-impact nature of spodding and Spombing, offering a lighter, more agile alternative to the larger 8000 size while maintaining the rugged Body Blade Design (BBD) that the Big Bomber range is famous for.

The 7000S is engineered for speed and precision. Its 4.5:1 gear ratio is tuned to provide maximum cranking torque, making it much easier to retrieve a high-resistance empty spod across the surface. Combined with the Worm Shaft transmission system, this reel ensures that even under the heavy tension of baiting up, the line lay remains near-perfect to facilitate your next long-range cast.

Technical Specifications

The BBS-7000S is a specialized, braid-ready tool designed for immediate bankside use:

Specialist Baiting Features

• Pre-Spooled with Braid: This reel is ready to fish immediately. The included braid is specifically chosen for its thin diameter and high knot strength, ensuring maximum casting distance and instant contact with your spod.

• Dual Round Metal Line Clips: Essential for precision baiting. Having two clips allows you to manage two different feeding spots simultaneously. The smooth metal edges protect your braid from fraying or snapping when hitting the clip hard at distance.

• FPD: Fast Progressive Drag System: Crucial for safety; this drag allows you to lock the spool solid with just a tiny turn of the knob. This prevents the spool from slipping during a powerful casta common cause of nasty finger cuts when using braid.

• Worm Shaft Transmission: This system provides a slow, consistent oscillation that prevents the thin braid from digging into itself under the pressure of a heavy retrieve.

• XXL Even Flow Roller: An oversized line roller that reduces line twista vital feature when you are performing hundreds of cast and retrieve cycles in a single session.

• TPE Ergo Grip: The rubberized handle knob provides a secure, non-slip grip, even when your hands are wet or covered in spod mix.

Why the Big Bomber 7000S is a Gerrys Favorite

• Lighter Weight: At 570g, it is significantly lighter than the 8000 size. This reduces arm fatigue during a heavy baiting campaign, allowing you to stay accurate for longer.

• Instant Accuracy: Because it is pre-spooled, the line lay is factory-set to the perfect level for the spools lip, ensuring you get maximum distance right out of the box.

• The Marker Option: While designed for spodding, the 7000S is an incredible reel for a marker rod. The braid offers zero stretch, meaning you can feel every hump, silk patch, and weed bed through the rod tip with total clarity.

• Structural Integrity: The Body Blade Design and hard metal handle ensure the reel doesnt flex or groan under the weight of a fully loaded Spomb.
