Returns Simplified.At Gerrys Fishing, we recognize the Okuma Ceymar CHD 4000A as the ultimate all-rounder for the modern predator angler. While it shares the High Density DNA of the larger C5000A, the 4000 size is slightly more compact, making it the perfect partner for standard 8ft to 9ft lure rods. This reel is built for crossover performance, engineered to handle the corrosive nature of saltwater while maintaining the finesse required for freshwater trophy hunting.
The defining feature of the CHD series is the HDG-II (HighDensity Gearing II). By utilizing an oversized drive gear and a direct-contact screw-in aluminum handle, Okuma has virtually eliminated handle play and backlash. This creates a rock-solid feel when cranking, ensuring that every turn of the handle translates directly into power when youre battling a hard-fighting fish.
The CHD-4000A offers a high-torque retrieve and a heavy-duty drag system in a perfectly balanced frame:

HDG-II Oversized Gearing: The high-density, enlarged main gear provides superior strength and a smoother gear mesh, allowing you to apply more pressure without stressing the internal components.
Gearing Stabilization Design: A specialized internal frame supports the pinion gear at three critical points (top, middle, and bottom). This prevents gear shift under heavy load, maintaining a silky-smooth retrieve during the most intense fights.
Frictionless Main Shaft: By reducing the contact area between the main shaft and the pinion gear, Okuma has created a weightless rotation. This allows for a very low startup inertia, giving you better feel when working subtle lures.
Even Flow Roller System with DLC Coating: The line roller is coated in Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC). This reduces friction significantly, protecting your braid from heat damage and preventing line twist during high-frequency casting.
Screw-In Handle Design: The handle screws directly into the main gear, providing a much more stable and powerful connection than traditional hex-bar handles.
The 4000 size is the most versatile model for the UKs primary predator targets:
Pike & Large Zander Lure Fishing: Its 9kg drag and stable gearing make it a powerhouse for working large soft plastics and swimbaits in both rivers and stillwaters.
Shore-Based Bass Fishing: The corrosion-resistant graphite body and DLC-coated roller are designed for the salt.Its light enough for all-day casting but strong enough to stop a Bass in a running tide.
Salmon & Large Seatrout Spinning: The high line retrieve (83cm) and smooth drag are essential for maintaining control over migratory fish in fast water.
Heavy Feeder & Method Work: Because of its high cranking power and excellent line lay, this reel is a fantastic option for distance feeder fishing for Bream and Tench on large reservoirs.
Gerrys Pro Tip: The 4000A is often chosen over the 5000 by anglers who prefer a slightly lighter setup for technical lure work. It provides the same 9kg of stopping power as its larger brother but in a 273g body, making your rod setup feel much more responsive in the hand.12
