DAIWA Basia SCW Type-P Surfcasting Reel

The Basia 45 SCW P has been designed for the demanding angler. With its Zaion carbon body and ergonomic DS5 carbon rotor Specifications: - 1 - Quick Drag - Bearings : 7 + 1 inc. 5 CRBB - ZAION carbon body and Air Rotor - Original and spare spools in aluminium Technology: LIGHT AND TOUGH: - LT is a new concept in Daiwa engineering which has produced new sizes of reels that are smaller and tougher than ever. The entirely redesigned Digigear drive is reinforced. Magsealed Bearing: - MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect reel components and guarantee smooth rotation. - The new MAGSEALED bearings have been designed to last longer than ever. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof bearing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and stable MAGSEALED oil. The cage runs smoother and is protected from impurities. - This means that the reel’s initial performance will be indefinitely preserved. The smoothness is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing: MAGSEALED oil removes the need for a joint, meaning you won’t detect any friction on the wind. - These MAGSEALED bearings are placed either side of the drive gear in our flagship reels, so you can activate them with the slightest turn of the handle for optimum winding smoothness. The concept has been miniaturised to apply to the roller on some of our reels. Mag Sealed: - MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect internal reel components and guarantee smooth rotation. - MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This liquid joint was originally used for the internal workings of hard drives – providing dustproofing but not waterproofing. Daiwa engineers took on the challenge of creating a waterproof oil, working to control the intensity of the magnetic force. This took hundreds of trials with adjustments down to micron level! The technology has been tried and tested on the water with the world’s top specialists in each discipline, and it has produced a demonstrable gain in the smoothness of rotation. Air Rotor: - 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. Strength Tests: - When pressure is applied to a rotor, standard models weaken at the points indicated in yellow and red while the Air Rotor spreads the load over its entire arched structure. Air Metal: The lightness of magnesium: - Lightness is the by-word of all reels made from this light and sensitive material, which is coated with an anti-corrosion treatment specially developed by Daiwa. Super Metal Body: The Stiffness of Aluminium: - Aluminium is the most rigid reel component material. Daiwa’s engineers have specially treated the metal to form an optimal micro-layer of stainless aluminium. Monocoque Body: - The Monocoque Body now comes in a new, uniquely tooled symmetrical design. - This symmetrical construction first appeared on the Certate HD 2016 and now marks a turning point in reel history, ushering a new generation of tougher reels. The drive gear is encased in a one-piece body, tougher and better sealed than ever. Infinite Anti Reverse: - The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system. - Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level. Silent Oscillation: - The perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness. Twist Buster: - The Twist Buster pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. - The system minimises the risks of linespin on the retrieve. Twist Buster II: - The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. - The system reduces the risks of linespin on the retrieve by 90%. ABS: - 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. Quick Drag: - 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. CRBB: - High quality anticorrosion ball bearings with a lifespan 10 times greater than a standard bearing. Custom Project: - RCS components are authentic Daiwa products made in Japan. Personalise your reel for a more comfortable, lighter, attractive product. TWS: - The TWS (T-Wing System) Concept marks a new era in baitcasting reel history. This technological breakthrough increases winding accuracy and reduces line friction for longer casts. - The T-shaped line guide aperture has a different function for winding as it does for casting. On the retrieve, an innovative hood closes down on the line, feeding it into the lower part of the T for accurate line lay. On the cast, the hood opens up, allowing the line to move freely within the larger part of the T - thus limiting friction, minimising the chance of tangles and improving overall casting performance.
