TMC-4000 is supplied for pike, zander and asp spinning and is the lightest model at 301 g. TMC-6000 is described for catfish spinning and vertical fishing from a boat, with 15 kg drag at 445 g. TMC-8000 covers active and static catfish fishing, with 16 kg drag at 631 g, so choose by your technique and the additional weight you want to carry.
TMC-14000 is supplied for catfish buoy and tensioned-line rigs, with 18 kg DFD drag and 687 g weight. TMC-16000 is supplied for sea fishing, with 16 kg drag and 668 g weight. Both retrieve 109 cm per turn at 4.8:1, but at 0.40 mm the 16000 holds 420 m rather than 370 m. Choose the 14000 for its stated catfish application and higher drag, or the 16000 for the stated sea use and greater capacity.
No, the primary family description confirms Dual Force Drag only for size 14000. All sizes list multi-disc Japanese oiled felt drag washers, but that alone does not establish DFD. If DFD is a selection requirement, TMC-14000 is the confirmed version.
The stated quantity is one reel with an aluminium spool. Model-specific spool codes are provided, but an additional spool is not listed. Use the matching TMC model's spool code if you need to identify a spare, rather than assuming one is included.
Clean the reel after saltwater use despite its corrosion-resistant graphite body. The supplied care guidance calls for regular cleaning, manufacturer-directed maintenance and dry storage. Check the drag, handle, spool and line guide before the next trip and do not fish with damaged parts.

The OKUMA TOMCAT family comprises fixed-spool spinning reels from TMC-4000 to TMC-16000. The smaller models cover active freshwater predator fishing, the middle sizes cover catfish fishing, and TMC-16000 is supplied for sea fishing. Precision elliptical oscillation supports even line lay, while Quick-Set infinite anti-reverse prevents backward handle movement under load.
TMC-4000 is the lightest version at 301 g, with a 5.0:1 ratio, 76 cm retrieve per turn and 8 kg maximum drag. Its stated use is spinning for pike, zander and asp. TMC-6000 weighs 445 g and offers a 4.5:1 ratio, 79 cm retrieve and 15 kg drag for catfish spinning and vertical fishing from a boat. It gives more drag and line capacity than TMC-4000 at a higher weight.
TMC-8000 is intended for active and static catfish fishing. It weighs 631 g, has a 4.8:1 ratio, retrieves 97 cm per turn and provides 16 kg maximum drag. TMC-14000 is supplied for catfish buoy and tensioned-line rigs. At 687 g it offers a 4.8:1 ratio, 109 cm retrieve and 18 kg maximum drag with Dual Force Drag (DFD). Compared with TMC-8000, it offers more capacity and drag but adds weight.
TMC-16000 is supplied for saltwater fishing from boat, pier or coast, including trolling for tuna and barracuda. Other stated target species are halibut, giant trevally (GT), swordfish, coalfish and cod. It weighs 668 g and combines a 4.8:1 ratio with 109 cm retrieve and 16 kg maximum drag. It has the highest stated line capacity but less maximum drag than TMC-14000. DFD is confirmed by the primary family description for size 14000 only, so it is not claimed for TMC-16000.
Capacity figures are line diameter in mm followed by length in m. TMC-4000 holds 0.25/260, 0.30/180 or 0.35/135. TMC-6000 holds 0.30/275, 0.35/200 or 0.40/155. TMC-8000 holds 0.40/210, 0.45/165 or 0.50/135. TMC-14000 holds 0.40/370, 0.45/290 or 0.50/230. TMC-16000 holds 0.40/420, 0.45/335 or 0.50/270. Compare capacity at the same diameter rather than size alone when selecting a reel for your line.
Each reel has a two-tone aluminium spool and a round metal line clip for securing the line when not fishing. The model-specific spool codes are TMC-4000-SPOOL, TMC-6000-SPOOL, TMC-8000-SPOOL, TMC-14000-SPOOL and TMC-16000-SPOOL. These identify the matching spool, not an included spare. The supplied quantity is one reel.
All sizes have six ball bearings and one roller bearing, a machine-cut brass pinion and a computer-balanced RES II Rotor Equalizing System. Together with elliptical oscillation, these support smooth winding and controlled line lay. The rigid handle and TPE Ergo grip knob provide a firm grip while winding. The multi-disc drag uses Japanese oiled felt washers to control line release under tension.
The body, sideplates and rotor are graphite, with a corrosion-resistant body. Supplier descriptions also list a Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) for TMC-4000, TMC-6000, TMC-8000 and TMC-14000. This feature is not confirmed for TMC-16000.
Check the drag, handle, spool and line guide before use, and attach the reel securely to a suitable rod. Do not use damaged equipment. Clean the reel regularly, particularly after saltwater use, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions. Store it dry and remove the line for prolonged storage. Keep moving parts clear of hair, clothing and fingers, and keep the reel away from unsupervised children.
