In reply to Post #80
Yes when the handle is folded in the tie goes around the stem and handle 👍
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #78
Do they velcro around the reel stem/rod to keep handle in place
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #77
Yes, for Shimano reels as well
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #76
On reel handles?
|
|
|
|
|
Cotswold aquarius ring protector for me. Green or camo
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|

|
In reply to Post #73
I used hair bobbles
|
|
|

Bumped this up instead of starting another thread
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

Agree, have both, great reels but shimano the better reel.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #70
Having owned and used both,yes I prefer the shimano
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #69
So beats the Daiwa latest reels in your opinion?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #68
I love the latest tech mgs,I have used them alot this year and they have been faultless.They feel strong and super smooth and the drag is very nice and not too quick
|

How do you find these Shimano reels?

What reels did you change to after your basia's? From other threads i know you have used a lot of reels
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #62
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.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #61
Had both and the 45 feels more robust and if I was ever having basia's again it would probably be them
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #61
My mate has the basia 20 scw ,had a go with them ,nice and smooth and light ,cant believe they put the anti reverse there on the side ,no good for winter if your wearing gloves .
|
|
|
|
Just bumping this up.
Any user reviews on the Basia 20 SCW compared to the 45 SLD...?
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #59
Had both and if being honest I prefer the 20 but is it worth the extra money I'm not sure.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #58
Apart from this thread being throughly entertaining how is everyone finding their Basia 20s?
Are they an upgrade from SLDs if anyone's had both?

There's a big difference to calling someone out on bull****, and relentlessly going after them.
There's loads of bull****ters on here. Such as the guy who had 3 separate issues with txids after a year of being faultless, then deleted his posts when he sold them. He wasn't subject to the same course of action? Or the guys who's mates have broken everything they don't own, but deem to be rubbish. Or the Nash barrow is crap but I don't own one brigade.
Has mark slept with your wife or something? Seems a little personal

In reply to Post #47
You really are clueless. A mate put me in touch with a Daiwa consultant he knows, who the helped sort out the repair with them and no, I'm not saying who that is as he did me a big favour sorting that out so quickly and all done FOC I might add. I don't have to justify myself to sad little old men like you with nothing better to do than spend your life on this forum posting drivel against anything and everything.

He did well getting daiwa to repair them and send them back in 11 days. I cant even get a reply to 3 emails about a spare spool for my daiwa certates 😂
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #45
I would not listen to a word he says.He was only saying how amazing the castizms were on the 4th June and telling people buy them when they can on the 6th.He has suddenly had all the issues in the space of 11 days and managed have them repaired and sell them.He also knows a guy who had issues with a reel before it was even released

Mag seal has been on high end daiwa in Japan and USA for ten years.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #33
Well that doesn't give me much confidence, surly they are not all having issues with the mag seal ? I'll be testing mine on Monday so I'll let you know . Spending that sort of money you would think that they would be at least ok , just hope they new ones don't have the same issues as the earlier ones
|

Alot happens in 10days,4th June you were singing the praises of the Castizms but suddenly avoid like the plague as had issues.

Watching the service videos the hard bit about servicing appears to be getting the oil.

In reply to Post #41
Not heard that about Shimano,I know they have had issues with the mag seals on earlier models but not had any on my castizms and they have been used alot
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #39
That's what I thought and thought shimano were going to adopt a similar system on the mags.

There's a vid on YouTube showing you how to service Mag Sealed reels looks pretty simple !!

The 19 scw is not magsealed,the scw 20 did not come out til end of 2020.The guy on St Ives must of had them before Daiwa released them
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #36
Isn't it only the basia 20 SCW that has mag seal and that's the dearest one? Don't think the 19 scw has it.
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #36
There is people that can service the mag-sealed reels now,no need for them to go back to Daiwa uk .A guy near me does them and the cost is next to nothing (Ants Reel Servicing)
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #34
You could win award 
Others may benefit from the feedback and the key point is you can service the Shimano yourself, Mag-Sealed, you can't
|
|
|
|
|
I dont think any of the top end reels are worth the money its personal choice.I know a lad who has the latest tech mgs and has had issues with 2 of his.He still won't get rid because he really likes them,Shimano and Daiwa are not worth the cost anymore really when you see what is available for a hell of a lot less money (Penn 7000's)just to name one reel
|
|
|
|
In reply to Post #33
Could of saved yourself alot of time posting that if you read the thread,he's already bought them

In reply to Post #1
Avoid, end of.
Yep, I had them (past tense)... having owned Castizm QD's since they came out, was that 2010? I can't remember, but I have had mine near enough glued to my 12ft ES since I got them, occasionally they'd go on my 10ft Hi S... anyway, they have seen a lot of use, never missed a beat, just perfect... first session after lockdown and one of them turns into a coffee grinder. At first I thought it had grit in it, but it's Mag-Sealed, right? I cleaned the reel and resisted the temptation to strip it down, being Mag-Sealed I believe that's not an easy DIY job. The reel had to go back to Daiwa UK to be sorted out, which was a bloody nightmare. As soon as it came back, I sold all four of my Castizms, for 90% of what I paid for them.
So, my new Basias - well I was chatting to a fella I met on St.Ives last year and he has had the same Mag-Seal issue with a brand new Basia and knew someone else who also had the same issue with the new reels! That was it, I put mine on eBay and sold them within an hour, losing just a tenner a reel on the purchase price. I've now got Medium Baitrunner Ci4 + LC's to replace the Castizms and Aero Technium MGS - which are frankly excellent and just as good as the Basia 45 SCW - thankfully those I CAN service myself and will hopefully not feck up like the Daiwa. So, my advice, avoid the Daiwa like the plague and the same goes for any of their Mag-Sealed reels - plenty of issues reported on other forums in respect of their Mag-Sealed reels...

True mate I've worked almost all way through lockdown apart from 3 weeks last year due to living with an elderly vunrable parent and then 2 weeks off due to actually catching Covid then my old dear got it too,thankfully she pulled through.
But yeah I work a lot of hours anyway every week so anything I buy is appreciated anyway

The mag seal does seem to cause problems from what I've heard on here, not personal experience. It seems like they bring a new model out every 6 months! normally virtually the same to the previous, they did it with some of their reels like the ISO's.

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

My castizms have been faultless since I had them for my 10ft rods.I have a guy locally who can do the fluid change but thanks for the advice

In reply to Post #11
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
