New reel advice

Hi all
After one of my Okuma interceptors naffed up Ive decided to bite the bullet and get a pair of shimano bait runners, the problem is there are so many models I dont know which would be the best for me. I fish for mainly carp and barbel in rivers and lakes. Ive looked at the 5000 re but they look too small for me. I have a budget of about £70 each. any advice would be appreciated,

As the wonderful nick posted, SHIMANO BAITRUNNER ST 10000 RA REEL.

I got one a few months ago and its friggin amazing! Its the same as the 6000 model only the 10000 holds more line AFAIK

The 10000 is a good, decent size mate. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!

I often look at mine before I go to bed, it's that sexy!

Haha my woman's the same mate. So I've started allowing her to come with. She can bring a book to read while I lie back and pull them out (fish, that is)

Nice one, what you going for? Carp?

I'd love a go at them but I can't think of any place over here that stocks them.
