Not that im aware of. The lack of supply is probably down to the corona virus. The last couple of sets i watched on ebay second hand went for more than what i paid for mine new earlier in the year as well so there in demand. There are a couple on ebay but there £350 each 😳

Yep, bought 3 a few weeks ago, they told me late Oktober to be the earliest before back in stock.
Did you try Nordfishing77 or KLonline shop ?

I always find daiwa reels a bit sporadic on stock. Was looking for an Emcast 25a a while back to complete a set for my dad - took ages to track one down.

Sounds like that's it now for the production of the castizm. What ever succeeds these has got to be something special.

Link to the reel, but that's a match reel surely.

Line capacity maybe the same but check the short stumpy handle out.

No need, looking at the price I won't be buying, had the castizms when the first came out and only paid nine hundred for four. Sold them all and bought emcast 25a's which I actually prefer and only paid two sixty for four.

At least these ones come with a spare spool. Always annoyed me that it was £60 for a spare.

The usual cheap looking matt black. The current ones look much nicer. Im old school and like a bit of bling. I personal hate this everything has to be all black phase thats currently the flavour of the month.

I prefer the look of these personally, shame they are smaller. Is it just the handle that's smaller or is the body smaller?

They look identical to the current castizms to me but cant be sure unless theres a photo of them side by side.
