New daiwa basia

Pricey yes but nice one daiwa at least they are listening because those flimsy sea guides are the only reason i didn’t keep mine.
The handle looks awesome too. Love the eva section on the back, love the full cork hood and i really like the back cap too.
Proper job.
Now they just need to work on their prices and look into bringing out an 11 footer
 
Agree Rich - this constant rhetoric that all rods must be 12ft, then occasionally 11ft drives me potty.

I'm using 10ft's on small rivers and 11.6 in other places.

Quite agree Jon.
I do get it for larger rivers where the extra length is useful for various things like casting at distance or skypodding etc but for everything else it’s too long imo. 11ft just seems to make more sense
