Black and gold colourways have long been synonymous with Daiwa reels, especially after the success and prestige of old-school models such as the SS2600 and SS9000 Millionmax. In more recent times, the Daiwa Emblem OT models paid homage to these old-school cosmetics, combining them with modern Daiwa technologies and now the same designs can be seen in the 21 Crosscast 45 SCW QD OT – not only a great all-round tool, but also a real workhorse when it comes to long range fishing and boat work. 

The Crosscast reel comes complete with a 45mm LC Long Cast Spool – a well recognised design borrowed from the Emblem and Basia range – with an impressive line capacity of 530 metres of 0.35mm line – this is certainly a contender for fishing huge waters by boat.The tapered spool and LC spool lip design helps for those big chucks and when coupled with the Slow Cross Wrap (SCW) efficiently converts your casting efforts into more yards. The SCW is basically an enhanced line lay arrangement that allows optimal performance; slow enough to ensure your line is well-maintained and positioned correctly along the spool time and time again. 

Another feature that helps to protect your main line on big chucks is the metal HIP High Impact Line Clip. When undertaking beastly casts with large leads time and time again, it is no surprise that it takes its toll on the main line; with this addition every time you hit the clip with force no added stress or strain is being passed directly through to your line. 

The 21 Crosscast 45 SCW QD OT also features the QDM drag, which requires a full turn to go from locked up to completely free running. This provides micro adjustment at your fingertips, ensuring you get the perfect drag setting for every situation, including those sharp lunges under the rod tip, or when setting your rods in position on the buzzers. Lightweight yet durable, the reel utilises a wide array of leading modern technologies, including a DS4 Body and DS4 Air Rotor, which result in a lightweight yet really strong product. Also designed for its reduction in weight and increased longevity is the Digigear II system. The worst thing about fishing at range is often having to retrieve the lead when you may have missed the clip, not landed on the spot or sadly not had a pick-up; however, with a line retrieval of 104 centimetres of line per reel turn even the longest of chucks won’t take you too long to retrieve! 

This reel looks class, with its prestige coloration, sleek design and classic details such as the one-touch folding handle and wooden handle knob, and we’re giving one reader the chance to win a set of three for free!
