Daiwa Tournament Basia Custom Reel DCR1,
Custom designed by Angling Direct especially for you – the Daiwa Tournament Basia DCR1. We’ve brought together all the very best components of custom Daiwa technology, in the most sought after combination to give you what we believe is the best reel in the business. Not only this, but our expert reel combination offers outstanding value for money and we’re able to offer exclusive deals across the range of Daiwa Custom Reels.
Modelled on the reels from the world class Tournament series, this customised creation is an exercise in reel performance technology. Featuring both AirBail and Twistbuster, the line roller and bail arm are set up to ensure that the line slides neatly onto the roller without snagging, hanging up, or twisting. A High Impact Protection (HIP) line clip is spring loaded to absorb excess shock and make difficult or awkward line entry a thing of the past. The clip collar is constructed from hard-wearing polyacetal (POM), simultaneously cushioning the braid or line when it hits the clip and extending the life of the reel itself thanks to its incredible resistance to friction. The Quick Drag (QD) knob allows you to fine tune this reel as you use it, offering three contact points for fingertip precision adjustments of the drag function. This executive reel delivers traditional Basia distance casting perfection, thanks to the 45mm spool.
This custom outfit looks as classy as it feels; the DCR1 is predominately black in design with accents of silver and a secretive shock of red on the line clip collar. Sophisticated and modern, featuring a classic Basia handle with a wooden knob, this reel is a traditional charmer that performs like a dream. If you’re looking for a top quality reel at an unbeatable price then you need look no further than the Daiwa Tournament Basia Custom Reel DRC1: designed by us, for you.
