DAIWA 23 Airity LT5000D-CXH

AIRDRIVE ROTOR (made of ZAION) "Why pursue low inertia?"
DAIWA continues to work on improving the rotational response of spinning reel rotors. DAIWA has derived a new shape that looks as if it was cut out of a sphere using its own theory. By thoroughly removing unnecessary material from there, it has succeeded in significantly reducing the weight while maintaining rigidity. This has dramatically improved the lightness of unwinding, which leads to improved operability and sensitivity. In addition, the new shape and screw-free exterior have improved line trouble-free performance, making it even more stress-free to use.

AIRDRIVE BAIL "Even more trouble-free"
For many years, the Air Bail installed on DAIWA spinning reels has adopted a hollow pipe structure that brings lightness and rigidity. In addition, the unique shape smoothly guides the line to the line roller, making trouble-free unwinding possible. The Air Drive Veil has been made thinner while maintaining the necessary strength to achieve further weight reduction. In addition, the veil angle is set to the optimum angle to allow the line to transition more smoothly from the veil to the line roller. This underpins the performance of the Air Drive Rotor, and it is now even lighter and less troublesome.

AIRDRIVE SPOOL "New design that reflects the future"
A thin-walled design that thoroughly removes unnecessary material and achieves weight reduction based on meticulous strength calculations. No compromise is allowed, not only in the thin-walled design of the thread winding section and spool skirt section, but also in the hollowing out of the inside of the spool. The lighter spool improves operability, such as light winding and casting. In addition, a new drag sound mechanism with less operating resistance has been developed. Improved response when the drag is activated.

AIRDRIVE SHAFT "The power you put into it is transferred directly to the rotor"
DAIWA's linear shaft, which has been installed in spinning reels, is a system that eliminates frictional resistance by making the main shaft non-contact with the pinion. The Air Drive Shaft also supports both ends of the pinion with ball bearings, making it possible to maximize the power input from the handle and transfer it 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.

MONOCOQUE BODY "Infinite possibilities brought by lightness and strength"
A monocoque structure is a structure in which the body itself has the rigidity of a frame, is resistant to twisting and bending, and achieves space saving. It is used in rockets and F1 machines, which require durability and space efficiency under extreme conditions. The effect is also tremendous in spinning reels. By eliminating the need for space to fix the screws, the size of the drive gear relative to the body dimensions is maximized. It is now possible to store a large diameter drive gear that occupies about 85% of the body area. In other words, if the body is the same size as before, a huge gear can be stored, but if the gear size is the same as before, a very compact body can be realized. It is a technology with infinite possibilities to make strong things lighter, and it is a lightweight and strong technology that can be said to be the core of Daiwa's "LT" LIGHT & TOUGH spinning reel. AIRITY uses a full metal (Mg) monocoque body that achieves a high level of lightness and rigidity.

MAGSEALED
Daiwa's unique waterproof structure that creates a magnetic oil wall to shut out seawater and dust, etc., and maintains the light and smooth initial rotation performance for a long time. This technology is installed in the pinion and line roller parts of AIRITY (SF does not have a Mag Sealed line roller). It further improves waterproofness, durability, and rotation performance, achieving high waterproofness.

MC (machine cut) Tough Digigear made of ultra-super duralumin "Precise meshing creates power"
The drive gear, the most important part of a reel, requires three elements (design concept, processing technology, and gear material). The MC Tough Digigear made of ultra-super duralumin mounted on the AIRITY is made of a material that has been cold forged to achieve high strength, and then machine cut with high precision to create the ideal gear. In addition, the drive gear is specially surface treated to increase the surface hardness of the gear, reducing the adverse effects caused by sudden force. Furthermore, for the large-sized PC LT3000, LT4000, and LT5000-C XH gear models, which are expected to be subjected to high loads on the gear, we have newly adopted a high-strength pinion gear that has been proven in Saltiga and other models to ensure safety.

ATD TYPE-L "Different tracking ability"
The ATD TYPE-L improves the initial response of spinning reels while maintaining the ATD's characteristic of working smoothly in response to the pull of the fish. Tuned with a focus on the smoothness of the start required when using light lines, it further reduces the load on the line and allows for quick landing without excessive stress on the fish.

High-grip finesse knob
The "high-grip I-type finesse knob" is used, which matches delicate fishing. The lightweight knob with hollowed-out holes allows for reeling with light force and contributes to improved winding sensitivity. The high-grip specification ensures a firm grip performance and easy grip despite its small and lightweight design. In pursuit of weight reduction, an integrated knob cap structure is used.

Stopperless body "Even lighter and less troublesome"
The body structure has been simplified by removing the stopper. The decision to remove the stoppers, which are the entry points for water and foreign objects, not only reduces weight and improves waterproof performance, but also minimizes the risk of sudden trouble when using AIRITY in harsh environments or when dealing with large fish.
