Is there a US version of the Daiwa Airity?

We could not find the Airity 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:

  • At 135 g, the SF2500SS 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, takes in 87 cm (34 in) of line per handle turn.
  • Max drag ranges from 3 kg to 10 kg (6.6 lb to 22.0 lb).
  • Line capacity runs from 200 m of PE 0.4 on the LT2000S-P to 300 m of PE 2.5 on the LT5000D-CXH.
  • Japan list price ¥65,000–¥69,500, 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; MAGSEALED; 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 — 2000: trout, horse mackerel, rockfish; 2500: bass, squid (eging), trout; 3000: deep eging, seabass, black sea bream, red sea bream (tenya), bass, trout; 4000: seabass, flatfish, large trout, salmon, light jigging, light shore jigging; 5000: light shore jigging, light jigging, seabass, flatfish, large trout.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
