This is a smaller version of the famous Stow reels, which were developed on the shores of Lake Elstow and have been used by many Team Korda members for years.
The principle behind this reel is that it can be fished with both tight and loose lines, and when you get a hold, the line releases from the clip on the side.
For this to happen, the stainless steel ball chain it's mounted on needs to be the same length as your bite alarm, and a detachable connector system allows you to easily adjust it to fit any alarm (it comes set to the correct length for use with something like a Delkim or similarly sized alarm).
It comes with a stainless steel weight, but the 6g and 8g weights can also be used, sold separately as part of the Stow range.
The Basix Mini Stow can be fitted with a Mini Isotope (available in seven different colours) and is mounted under the bite alarm using a moulded hockey stick, onto which the ball chain is screwed.
It comes in a choice of red, green or blue.
