Daiwa Tournament Basiair Reel

At just 445g the Daiwa Tournament Basiair carp reel is truly lightweight – but it’s no lightweight in terms of performance. This is without doubt one of, if not THE best, distance carp reel available.

Just when the angling world thought big reels for big carp couldn’t get any lighter the Daiwa development team in Japan pushed the boundaries of design and materials to the extreme with the Daiwa Tournament Basiair. The sublime and beautiful new BASIAIR weighs only 445 grams and has given up nothing in performance to achieve it.

Combining ‘AirMetal’ magnesium alloy and ultra light Zaio the BASIAIR truly takes ‘feel’ to another level. A level that is surely cloud nine!

Maintaining the 45mm spool profile of its namesake the BASIAR produces supreme casting and the retrieve of 4.1:1 still brings home a shade under 90cm with one turn. Described by some as ‘pure architecture’ the distinct shapes and design carry a futuristic sculpture and really signal ‘the future of reels has begun’.
