Daiwa Tournament Basia Carp 45 SCW QD Reel
The Tournament Basia Carp 45 SCW QD fills out the family of Basia reels and inherits the familiar trait of perfectionism.
Boasting a Quick Drag (as in the name) to give a superfast response to bites and ultimately a higher strike rate. With a body and Air Rotor made from ZAION carbon, this reel offers a breathtaking power to weight ratio! All in all, the marriage of fluidity and lightness will be impossible to do without once you’ve dabbled.
What’s more, the Air Bail and Tough Digigear make the Tournament Basia a reel that’s not only strong but built to last. This Japanese-made jewel is sure to please competition anglers and demanding carp hunters looking to maximise their casting distance and is supplied with an original spool and a spare 45mm option, both in aluminium.

The Air Rotor stands out for its balance, toughness and sensitivity.
The arched profile and 15% weight reduction compared to standard rotors offers optimal winding smoothness and eliminates vibration thanks to the lowered centre of gravity.
Some of Daiwa’s reel bodies and rotors are made from Zaion, an exclusive high-density carbon with anti-corrosion properties that’s both lighter and tougher than magnesium.
Zaion’s engineers set out to build a material that was as tough as metal but as light as carbon. Conventional wisdom holds that an aluminium reel offers toughness while polycarbonate is needed to make a light body and rotor.
ZAION is a fusion of these two qualities. While ordinary carbon is made of nylon 6-6 resin and carbon fibres at 20%, ZAION boasts twice the density of carbon fibres. The result is a unique material that is as strong as magnesium. A ZAION body is 25% lighter than its equivalent in magnesium and 50% lighter than aluminium!
The hollow Touch Air Bail is made from SUS303 steel and is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer.
In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance.
The clue is in the name of this ultra fast drag!
Transition from free to tight drag in half a turn of the knob.
Instantaneous adjustment after the cast or on the fight.
