Had both and the 45 feels more robust and if I was ever having basia's again it would probably be them

I agree with the anti reverse positioning....didn't need moved. For what it's worth I have the 19's and love them. I upgraded my rods and reels during the first lock down, and got a good deal, 3 19 basias and 3 Harrison torrix 12ft 3lb tc for under £1700. Much nicer than the century ncs 3.25 and emblem pros they replaced. No problems with the reels yet.

Just got some and wondering how folk store the reel handles when packing away, elastic band or something
I use Aqua sleeves and use with undoing nut on opposite side
folding handle in and tighten nut to hold closed on my old reels
Cheers

Havent got the basias but got castizms with similar style handles and i use ta elasticated tip tops and i just loop the elastic section around the handle when i put them on the rod and they hold the handles in place with no movement at all and no need for anything else.
