Air Rotor

Weight: 515g

As described by Daiwa:

“Designed around the proven and groundbreaking spool geometry of the Cast’izm ‘mini big pit’ this BR edition is certain to offer the best of both worlds. Developed in close consultation with team Korda it has been extensively field tested and refined.

Maintaining that ‘compact’ shape, thanks to the 25mm stroke, we have redesigned the Bite ‘n’ Run mechanism to operate within the reduced body size. Experience the crisp operation of the BR trigger and feel the solid engineering at once.

Reach far out casting distances with ease thanks to the balance of a shallow spool taper and high diameter; the Cast’izm concept.

The innovation also extends to the water barrier of Mag Sealed within the rotor. Halting the intrusion of soluble debris and fine abrasives the showroom rotation and precise gear meshing will remain protected and smooth for longer. This technology is unique.

Thanks to the 5.3:1 and over 200mm circumference of a filled spool the Cast’izm BR will crank up to 107cm per handle turn; that’s swift and just as well for those fishing far out.

The manual bail closure is supported by Castlock, securing the bail in place during the cast, letting you apply smooth and controlled closure. The BR also features our HIP line clip and is supplied with a spare spool.

Striking this design harmony between the extraordinary casting values of the ‘mini big pit’ spool, with the free spool function of BR brings to anglers hands the perfect package. This is our new Cast’izm BR25A”


Absolutely brand new and never been out of the house since purchase.

Approximately the size of my Shimano 6000D’s but actually slightly lighter in weight.

New cost £500

Now £300 the pair collected (Wrexham area) or add £10 for 1st class signed for delivery if required.

They will be christened next winter Chris on the flood rods
So light and smooth and that huge spool with mega slow oscillation will make casting 5 and 6 oz leads a dream

Not only that - the cranking power is immense for such small bodied reels - you may end up ditching your shimmys and using these all the time! Only thing I don't like is the non auto fold handle but thats a minor irritation

Shimmys are loaded with 100lb berkley X8 and strapped to the pike rods. They’ve got a new role in life now
