I'm not to bothered on what they look like , I'm more bothered about build quality and what's inside them

Keep a close eye on the mag sealing Bradders as I'm starting to see quiet a few with this failing, admittedly it seems to be on the early reels that had this fitted such as the castizms but I've had a couple of castizm baitrunners in with this issue too which are fairly recent, i wonder if it has a limited working life possibly. the give away will be a gritty feeling to the rotor on rotation and a brown oily smudge under the rotor on the magseal plate if disassembled. Once it goes it causes all sorts of problems so well worth checking the service intervals with daiwa as they will replace the ferrofluid

Can I just ask what you mean about the mag seal ?
Have you seen any of these go on the new basia ?
