Is there a US version of the Daiwa Airity ST?
We could not find the Airity ST by name in Daiwa’s 2026-27 US catalog (printed, July 2026), so the sizes and specs on this page are the Japan-market ones. Sellers who ship from Japan are the usual source for this exact model in the US; a US dealer may still carry a related model under a different name.

About this item
What the maker's numbers say about this model:
- The Airity ST SF2500SS-H-QD: weighs 135 g (4.8 oz), gear ratio 5.7, 80 cm (31.5 in) of line per handle turn, max drag 3 kg (6.6 lb), line capacity PE #0.4 – 200 m (219 yd) (maker's figures).
- 6 sizes. The lightest is SF1000S-P at 130 g (4.6 oz); the heaviest is LT2500S-XH-QD at 150 g (5.3 oz).
- At 135 g, the SF2500SS-H-QD is the lightest of the 104 2500-size spinning reel models we list.
- Gear ratios run from 4.6:1 to 6.2:1; the fastest, LT2500S-XH-QD, takes in 87 cm (34 in) of line per handle turn.
- Max drag ranges from 3 kg to 5 kg (6.6 lb to 11.0 lb).
- Every size holds 200 m of PE 0.3.
- Japan list price ¥65,000–¥67,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 93 spinning reel series we list.
- Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; MONOCOQUE BODY; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; ATD TYPE-L drag; LC-ABS spool; QUICK DRAG.
- In plain words: AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft. MONOCOQUE BODY — one-piece body with a plate screwed directly into it instead of a screwed-on body cover, for stiffer gear support and better sealing. TOUGH DIGIGEAR — Daiwa's machine-cut drive gear built for strength and smooth rotation.
- Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 1000: horse mackerel, rockfish, trout; 2000: trout, horse mackerel, rockfish; 2500: bass, squid (eging), trout.
