Demand Performance: Experience Performance 

If you asked a selection of random people in the street to name a fishing tackle brand, Daiwa would most likely be a name to come up again and again, which is testament to the respect and appreciation that the performance of all their tackle, but particularly their reels, commands, even among those for whom angling isn't a particular passion.

Like Shimano, Daiwa is a brand that brings a classically Japanese focus on precision crafting and performance perfection to everything it does, ensuring that, whether you're a cost-conscious newbie, or an experienced professional willing to spend more in order to get the most in high-performance returns, there's a wealth of Daiwa tackle delights waiting for you.



At Angling Direct, we can advise you on the best choice of Daiwa reel for your fishing, and we always have a wide range of options in stock, whether you want to order from our website, browse the website, then click and collect from your local Angling Direct store, or simply go straight to your nearest store, and have a look round before buying everything you need, including your new reel from Daiwa.

Feel like a million dollars when you head out with this high-performance multiplier reel tackled up and ready to bring its 5:8:1 gear ratio to bear on your sea fishing, giving you a great retrieve from the snaggiest shores, and tearing through kelp and weed without any damage to your line, or loss of pulling power.

Daiwa Tournament Basia

 

Tell Me About It

 Sleek. Sophisticated. Ultra modern. Crafted for high end carp fishing performance.

The Basia is a carp reel you don't need to talk about; with its understated elegance and fierce performance perfection, this is a reel dreams are made of, where words are never enough to explain just why your rod deserves a reel like this.

The Tournament Basia with Quick Drag engagement is a timeless classic given a 21^st century, future-ready face lift, without any loss of the exquisite handling and action that first made this reel famous.

This five-star, critically acclaimed reel features infinite anti-reverse, with a slightly smaller spool capacity than you might expect, which gives you just as much line as you need, and ensures the reel remains featherlight to play, making it easy to counter the weight of a carp on the run, and allowing for extraordinary sensitivity and feel right through your journey, from first cast to final retrieve, with a rigid power underscoring the air-and-mist weightlessness you'll feel every time you pick up a rod that's got a Basia ready to go.

The exceptional weightlessness and superior power come from the Tournament Basia's magnesium alloy construction, which creates a reel that's more than ready to take you into angling's high-powered future, and keep you ahead of the pack for years to come, and a carefully compact construction that crafts everything you need into a profile that will look like part of your rod, and feel just as smooth.

With two high impact line clips, vented rotor arms, starlight holes in the skirt of the anodised aluminium spool, and a sleek look that could grace the best venues, this is a reel that's designed for elegance, which delivers brilliance. If you intend to invest in your angling, then the Daiwa Tournament Basia is a quality piece of tackle stock that's right on the money.

 Our customers back up Daiwa's own belief that the Basia is the best reel out there, and will happily tell you that buying your Tournament Basia from Angling Direct ensures you get a service to match the performance and style of your new Daiwa reel, which is itself widely considered an engineering masterpiece.

Daiwa Crossfire Black



 Tell Me About It

In other circumstances, following the impressive account the Daiwa Tournament Basia gives of itself might be something of a challenge, but not when you're discussing Daiwa reels, which consistently deliver quality, excellence, and value for money across the range, whether you've got fifty quid to spend, or five hundred.

The Daiwa Crossfire Black is just one example of a well-designed, high-quality reel that performs well above its price point, allowing anglers with tiny budgets to get the same big-hitting experience that their wealthier colleagues and competitors enjoy.

Made with a graphite rotor and body, and fitted with a machine cut aluminium handle, this infinite anti-reverse reel is enhanced with Daiwa's trademark Digigear II gearing system, a digitally designed gearing which transmits the power of the handle seamlessly throught the rotor, giving you a silk-smooth cast and retireve, and extending the lifespan of your Daiwa reel.

The Crossfire also features Twistbuster II, another high-quality technological evolution from Daiwa which virtually eliminates that all-too-common angling nightmare of twisted, kinked line, ensuring that even your hardest casts give you a smooth, precise presentation, with minimal risk of crack offf, and the assurance of an effortless retrieve with any size of catch.

Offering exceptional value for money, this is a stunning reel that would look great on a smaller rod, either as part of a young angler's first tackle set, or in the hands of an angler who's looking to add flexibility and versatility to their angling arsenal.

What Do People Say?

Anglers consider the Daiwa to be unbelievable value for money, a well made reel that's perfect for the smaller rods used in targeted fishing.
