Description DAIWA Spinning Reel 23AIRITY 2000~5000 Various (2023 model) Made in JapanAIRITY“ – Ultra-Lightweight Spinning Reel that Achieves an Unprecedented Balance of Lightness and StrengthThe LT2500S weighs only 150g, the lightest reel in DAIWA’s history. At the same time, it also has a „lightness other than its own weight. The key technologies behind this are a light spinning feel that allows anglers to feel a sense of oneness with their tackle and an optimal weight balance that does not weigh the angler down. The core technology behind this is „air drive design. It is a design concept for next-generation spinning reels that pursues anglers‘ desire to manipulate lures as they wish, and consists of four (MAX) technologies. By fully equipping the reel with the Air Drive design, we have achieved a high level of improvement in reeling performance and rod operability. The rod responds to the angler’s will in a straightforward manner, enhancing the pleasure of fishing. While keeping the rod lightweight, there is no compromise in the strength of the rod. This is the origin of Daiwa’s reel design philosophy that „lightness without sufficient fishing performance is meaningless. One of the technologies that carry on this belief is the monocoque body with a one-piece molded structure. This is a solid foundation that suppresses deflection and distortion and produces powerful reeling. Magnesium is used as the material. Inside the monocoque body is a tough digital gear that produces smooth and quiet rotation. A special surface treatment is applied to increase the hardness of the gears, which also improves durability so that the initial performance lasts longer. The pinion and line roller are equipped with Daiwa’s proprietary Mag-Shield waterproofing and durability technology to ensure waterproofing and dustproofing. The drag is equipped with ATD TYPE-L, which reduces the load on the line and provides a smooth and stable sliding action, making the fight more enjoyable. The spool is equipped with the LC-ABS, which has achieved a 5% increase in casting distance through a rethinking of the lip shape. A high-dimensional fusion of „AIR = lightness“ and „REALITY = truth and practicality. An ultra-light spinning reel with advanced real fishing performance. From light game to light shore jigging, AIRITY offers the freedom and pleasure of being one with your tackle. AIRDRIVE ROTOR (made by ZAION) „Reason for pursuing low inertiaDAIWA has been working to improve the rotational response of spinning reel rotors, and based on our original theory, we have derived a shape that looks as if it were cut directly from a sphere. DAIWA further succeeded in reducing the weight significantly while maintaining the rigidity by thoroughly removing unnecessary meat from the rotor. This has resulted in a dramatic improvement in lightness at the start of reeling, which leads to improved operability and sensitivity. The shape and screwless appearance also improve the line trouble-free performance, making it even more stress-free and comfortable to use. Compared to the 21L.AIRITY air rotor, the rotor unit is approximately 16% (*1) lighter (compared to the 2500) ・Approximately 16% (MAX) (*2) lower inertia (*1) Comparative weight reduction values vary by size. AIRDRIVE BAIL „for even more trouble-free fishingThe AIRDRIVE BAIL, which has been used in DAIWA spinning reels for many years, uses a hollow pipe structure that provides lightness and rigidity. The unique shape of the bail guides the line smoothly to the line roller, enabling trouble-free reeling. The air drive bail has a thinner diameter while maintaining the necessary strength to achieve further weight reduction. In addition, the bail angle is set at an optimum angle for a smoother transition of the line from the bail to the line roller. The performance of the air drive rotor is supported, and it is now even lighter and more trouble-free. Weight reduction of approx. 1g (approx. 33%) compared to the air bail of 21L.AIRITY ・Bail diameter reduced from 3mm to 2.4mm AIRDRIVE SPOOL „Design that reflects the futureBased on careful strength calculations, unnecessary meat has been thoroughly removed to achieve a thin-wall design that is the ultimate in weight reduction. No compromises were allowed, not only in the thin-wall design of the spool skirt and spool winding section, but also in the removal of the internal wall of the spool. The light weight of the spool improves the lightness of reeling and operability of the casting action. In addition, a drag sounding mechanism was developed with less drag resistance. This has improved the response when the drag is actuated. Compared to the 21L.AIRITY spool, the click volume during drag withdrawal has been maintained while operating resistance has been reduced. AIRDRIVE SHAFT „The power you put into the rotor goes directly to the rotor.DAIWA’s linear shaft system, which has been used in spinning reels, is a system that reduces frictional resistance to zero by making the main shaft and pinion non-contact. The air drive shaft further supports both ends of the pinion with ball bearings, enabling the power input from the handle to be connected to the rotational force of the rotor. In addition, by supporting the main shaft with a high-precision collar, it is possible to thoroughly reduce rotational noise. *SF is linear shaft specification MONOCOQUE BODY „Infinite possibilities brought about by lightness and strengthThe monocoque structure is a structure in which the body itself has the rigidity of a frame, is resistant to torsion and deflection, and saves space. It is used in rockets and F1 machines, which require durability and space efficiency under extreme conditions. The effect is also great for spinning reels. By eliminating the need for space to fix screws, the size of the drive gear relative to the body dimensions is expanded to the limit. In fact, it is now possible to accommodate large-diameter drive gears that occupy as much as 85% of the body. In other words, if the body is the same size as before, a huge gear can be stored, and if the gear size is the same as before, a very compact body can be realized. The AIRITY uses a full metal (Mg) monocoque body that achieves a high level of lightness and rigidity. MAGSEALEDDaiwa’s unique waterproof construction shuts out seawater and dust by creating a magnetic oil wall to maintain light and smooth initial rotation performance for a long period of time. AIRITY is equipped with this technology in the pinion and line roller (*SF is not equipped with MAGSEALED line roller). This further improves waterproofness, durability, and rotational performance, and achieves a high level of waterproofness. MC (machine cut) made of super duraluminThe drive gear, the most important part of a reel, requires a trinity of elements (design concept, processing technology, and gear material). The drive gear is also treated with a special surface treatment. The drive gear is treated with a special surface treatment to increase its surface hardness, thereby reducing the adverse effects caused by unexpected force. Furthermore, the XH gear models of the large PC LT3000, LT4000, and LT5000-C, which are expected to be subjected to high loads on the gears, use high-strength pinion gears that have a proven track record with Saltiga and other products to ensure the best possible performance. ATD TYPE-LThe ATD TYPE-L has been tuned to provide the smoothness required when using light line, further reducing the load on the line. This new design reduces the load on the line, and also makes it possible to land a fish in a short time without causing undue stress to the fish. High-grip I-type finesse knobThe „High Grip I Finesse Knob“ is designed for delicate fishing. The lightweight knob with a thinned-out surface enables anglers to reel the lure with light force, contributing to improved reeling sensitivity. The high-grip design ensures a firm grip and ease of use in spite of its small size and light weight. (Standard on SF1000S-P, SF2000SS-P, and SF2000SS-H) Stopper-less body „for even lighter weight and trouble-free operationThe body structure was simplified by removing the stopper. The decision to remove the stopper, which is a route for water and foreign matter to enter the body, not only makes the body lighter and more waterproof, but also minimizes the misfortune of sudden trouble in the harsh environment required of the AIRITY and when interacting with large fish.
