Durability and strength of the reel are powered by the Duraluminium gears and metal rotor the reel is fitted with, creating a big pit reel anglers can depend on.

The classic big pit spool design provides incredible performance with unrivalled balance.

Both reel options come in well under 25g, giving you a light, powerful reel that sits well on a range of Daiwa rods. Both reels can hold up to 330m of 18lb line, giving you all the strength and heft you need to handle carp of any size, and cast with accuracy on any venue.

The gun metal finish with polished alloy spool creates a classic appearance that ensures plenty of admiring glances at the bank, while the effortless handling and forward-focused design will keep all eyes on you, up and down the bank, for as long as your session lasts. Paired with the warm gold cosmetics of the spool, and wooden handle, this reel is visually impressive on top of its performance.
