Daiwa Black Widow BR Colour 0 Size 4000A Fishing Reel

Overview

The Daiwa Black Widow BR Colour 0 4000A is a versatile free spool reel designed for multi species on the bank or in rivers. Built to Daiwa’s usual standards, it combines a robust aluminium frame with dependable internals, making it suitable for carp, zander, eel, and barber. The 4000A size offers a balanced option for anglers seeking solid line capacity and controlled casting, without sacrificing ease of use on longer sessions.

Three smooth bearings and an infinite anti-reverse backstop provide a steady, quiet retrieve and reliable bite indication. The anodised aluminium spool and aluminium motor plate resist corrosion, while the soft-touch crank knob and aluminium handle deliver comfortable control after hours on the water. A compact profile and thoughtful detailing contribute to a reel that feels dependable in varied conditions.

In practice, the reel shines when you need a controlled freespool and quick response when a bite comes. The Baitrunner clutch system lets you switch to a controlled freespool without fumbling, while AirBail + Twist Buster helps minimize line twist for smoother casts. The GyroSpinLonglife bow spring adds durability to the reel’s action, supporting frequent casting and retrieval during long sessions. The front-drag-inspired design and durable components come together to offer a reel that handles the day-to-day realities of mixed fishing trips with confidence.
