The Daiwa Basia has to be one of the biggest names in angling, and, looking at the build quality and performance potential of these Basia DF X45 rods, it’s not hard to see why.

Black metal butt caps and trim rings set these rods off in cool, sophisticated style, while the high torque resistance, and choice of 12ft or 13ft rods, with casting weights up to 3.75g, back up this stunning form with impressive, dependable functionality

Featuring Daiwa’s premium X45 material in key compression zones, and a reduced diameter blank, these rods feel comfortable, balanced, and completely within your control at every moment in the cast, a smoothness that’s backed up by the MT tip action, which gives instantly responsive indication on any bite strength.

X45 also provides a functional, armoured coating for the ultra-high-grade carbon blank, ensuring that the Basia is an investment in your angling that will last a lifetime, and stand up to your most powerful casts, session after session, while 50mm butt guides let you know that there’s plenty of power in this rod when you need it.

Keep in contact with all the action, right through your rod, thanks to the sensitive contact points of the Fuji DPS reel seat, and get a solid grip with the profiled NS shrink tube handle; Daiwa also offer cork handle options, for those anglers wanting a timeless, retro look.
