With the Tournament Basiair QD Daiwa is impressively demonstrating the state-of the-art techniques of modern reel construction and design Made in Japan. By the perfect combination of lightweight magnesium and Zaion material, the Basiair QD achieves lightness and power, which has never be seen before at the market. These reels are large, stable and robust. Once you pick this reel in your hands you won't believe its appearance. In the European carp scene this reel is already a sensation.

CNC milled digitally developed power gear for highest strains. The precision of the gear teeth is tenfold elevated compared to conventional gears.
Especially for our reels with oil barrier (Mag Sealed reels) mechanism we have developed a complete new Air Rotor. So the enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor. The new rotor is 15% more light weighted than usual rotors of the same material - this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.
Daiwa's innovative bail design featuring a hollow tubular stainless steel bail for maximium rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Due to the smooth, protrusion-free design of the Air Bail®, even loose line common after a cast slides easily down the bail onto the line roller as the reel is turned, without snagging or hanging up.
