DAIWA AIRITY 2023 Review - Light, Powerful and Easy-to-use Spinning Reel 

Thank you!

Thank you very much 😄 And really good to know you liked the voice over, we'll keep doing this!

This is my personal opinion but to be honest, not much different. Of course Exist can be slightly smoother as it has better quality parts and better clearances in between each parts, but not really noticeable and Airity can do pretty much everything that Exist can. I don't see difference of functions really, unless if you are a professional who spends 5+ hours for fishing almost everyday :)

Hi, thank you for your comment! If you are referring to the SF models then SF1000 and SF2000 are the same body size but spool size is different. Both are slightly bigger on SF2500. Normal Airity does not have #1000 size but you can use SPLW LT1000 spool on LT2000. 2500 and bigger, all has their own sizes so there are no spool matching cross over the different sizes. You can use the same spool on normal and PC models, such as LT2500S and PC-LT2500.

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 oh OK thanks got it.. I thought thr 2500 SF just had a bigger rotor so it can fit the bigger spool.. so the 2500 SF also has a bigger body a bit.. so the gears and some other internals are bigger ? 🤔

@@thatonebeone I assume so. I am sorry but I can't just make sure of it as we are not able to supply overhaul services so can't compare the actual gear size but the body size looks slightly bigger than 2000.

Thank you, I understand that.. That's the tricky part of DAIWA LT sizes to me. Currently you can only use the SLP custom spools such as SLPW EX LT Spool2, which has 3000D and 4000D.

@@jpfishingtacklenews195Yes, I have the 2000S versio. I already contacted SLP and looked around and there is no deep spool available for the 2000 so was curious if another reels spool would fit. 🤔 I wonder if the Exist deep spool would fit. 🤔

@@Sweetaccord Ah I see, yeah 2000D is not available from them. We talked to DAIWA Official and confimred you can use the 22 EXIST spools to 23 Airity for the same body size, but please be mindful that there are a bit complex sizes such as FC, LT, PC, altough 2000 size should be the same.

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 Awesome! Thank you!

Yes it's great one :)

Thank you very much for your feedback, may I know especially what sound did you miss by the music so that I can make better movie next time please?

@@yukikimura9501 There was nothing wrong with the sound. Everything was very clear and easy to hear. Great video!

Thank you for the comment! To be honest 22EXIST, 23 Airity and 24 Certate are basically similar, and my personal opinion is that 22 EXIST can cover both 23 Airity and 24 Certate, and 23 Airity is lighter for everything and 24 Certate is more durable. I felt 24 Certate is a bit heavier for body weight and spinning, torque is quite similar but slightly 24 Certate is a bit powerful, and also felt 24 Certate spinning is slightly heavier. The AirDrive Rotor of Certate is slightly harder from my feeling. But again, Not much differences. FC / SF of Airity is excluded, they are like "Hi-Custom Tuned F1 Car" type.

23 Airity is general, versatile light spinning reel like others, and 24 Airity is more for finesse use. 24 Airity SF is less weight, has smaller body, thinner main shaft, short spools, and adjusted inside parts of the body for finesse use. Airity ST is a Sensitive Tune, without Magsealed, with oiled ball bearings (normal has greased one), also have LT body and SF body too. Currently we did not buy these as we have not much fishing type for those super-tuned models.

Thank you 🙏

@@surfninjafishing8297 Our pleasure, anytime 😄

They both have strength and weakness so I can't say which is better I am afraid, but Airity is abslutely "easier" to be used to me.

Hi, thank you for letting me know the mistake and I am really sorry you are right, the part Magsealed ballbearing is not installed is both side of drivegear, not the line roller.

Thank you for your comment :) I see, maybe shape? I think previous DAIWA spools are more like sharp n solid shape and the new ones are more like round shape.

Thank you for your comment, haha of course if you can reach the EXIST then it'll be better!

Hi, I checked your short movie and no ours are not like that noisy, though SHIMANO ones are a bit quieter. I would think to talk to the store you purchased the reel or to DAIWA customer centre if that bothers you too much, it could be manufactural thing. I placed my 22 EXIST to DAIWA service and got back quieter, by replacing a couple of ball bearings inside.

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 Thank you for your reply.

Thank you, yes Luvias is absolutely a nice one :)

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 Is the new 24 Luvias made in Japan?

Daiwa has a lot of models to be honest, not allways that clear what sets them apart. Why 24 Luvias over 23 Airity for example?

@@debeerbos No it's not, the one I checked said Made in China. The first lot of 20 Luvias was made in Japan but changed to Made in China from 2nd lot.

@@debeerbos Personally I understand your feeling..Even complicated to us too! 24 Airity is not the normal LT reel, there are "tuned" version of 23 Airity, so DAIWA officially call them 23 Airity SF, and 23 Airity ST. Both are for finesse use, SF has smaller body, thinner main shaft, shorter spool to make the reel even more light and sensitive. ST excludes Magsealed, and use oiled ball bearings instead of normal grease bearings. ST also have SF and LT, so there are 4 types of combination - LT, SF, ST LT, and ST SF.

Oh ok haha great :)

Ok so if you don't like this reel, then obviously this is not the one for you :)

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 There aren't many Daiwa's reels I like. Their most expensive reels are inferior to Shimano. I own the likes of Stella, TP 24, Vanquish and few otheres top reels from Shimano. At the begining of this year I bought Daiwa Exist and hate it, luckly I was able to resell it without huge loss. So many positive reviews I seen on YT of the 24 Certate so i decided to give a go. Those who says it is the equalivment of Shimano 24 TP either never had one or they just plain lying. As smooth as? 😂😂😂
