Daiwa ’23 Airity ST

Daiwa ’23 Airity ST

In the world of area trout, native trout, and bass fishing, anglers’ demands on their reels are unparalleled. The call for easier line winding and increased sensitivity has been heard and implemented in a special “tune”: the “23 AIRITY ST (Sensitive Tune).” This is yet another “AIRITY” reel that makes the ultralight “AIRITY” spinning reel even more sensitive and responsive. The range includes six models specifically designed for finesse fishing: ST and ST SF. While the basic functions of the “23 AIRITY / 23 AIRITY SF” were retained, the main bearing for the handlebar was changed from a standard grease-lubricated model to an oil-lubricated one. Instead of sacrificing the high durability of grease bearings, a low-viscosity lubrication was deliberately chosen to further enhance the smoothness of rotation. But that’s not all. The “MagShield” in the pinion area, which provides waterproofing and dust protection, was intentionally omitted to further reduce weight and friction. The result is optimized rotation performance for anglers. Virtually imperceptible resistance at the fingertips when reeling in, and an overwhelming amount of feedback transmitted when rotating the handle. Anglers seeking a “direct rotation feel” will find it in the “AIRITY ST”. We recommend the Seaguar R18 LTD , the test winner among FC lines from Japan, as a suitable line.
