23 Airity coming soon
Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2023 2:05 pm
Does anyone know when they will be released in Japan and what the prices will be?
Lots of information including date of release and the table at the bottom has MSRP pricing for each new model at the far right.
From what it looks like, they are dumping the Chinese line of Airity since it and the Luvias were basically the same reel. Then they are moving the new Airity to be a successor to the Luvias Airity. Basically an mid-upper level reel below the Exist and to compete directly with the Vanquish. Basically to the Exist what the Vanquish is to the Stella. They may keep the Chinese made Airity in the European market where it is more popular I guess.BlackMarlin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 2:42 pmIs this successor to 21 Luvias Airity or 20 Airity?
Are those 2 separate model lines or different generations of one product?
Me, too.
My 16 Certate 2004CH is still the best looking reel in my eyes a little heavy by today's standard but man it feels solid in hand.
Thanks for the link. So it looks like it has the same tech as the 22 Exist and will be released in February. 2500 sizes will be about $500 so roughly $130 cheaper than the Exist. It has me intrigued.City17Banner wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 2:20 pmLots of information including date of release and the table at the bottom has MSRP pricing for each new model at the far right.

digitaka put the prices up for the airity (56300 yen for a lt2500s) roughly 437 with the current exchange rate, and almost exactly the same as the c2500s vanquish. should be an interesting battle! im usually a daiwa guy, but i bought a '21 excense last year and absolutely love it, but also have a luvias airity and love that so im completely torn! ill be getting one to put on a p5 flyssa at some point!njbasscat wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 8:39 amThanks for the link.

I received my 23 Airity and took it out this weekend and was thoroughly impressed with the smoothness of the reel. This was the 3000 on a Windbuster. I am running a 21 Luvias Airity on my Baby Plugging and compared them both, I thought the 23 felt noticeably smoother, especially on startup, but it wasn't a huge difference. In fact, I was on the fence about switching out the Luvias with the 23 model, but I think I'll stand pat.mrpao wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:28 amReceived my 23 Airty 2000S-P from digitaka the other day.
Put a megabass hypercork knob on it.
Paired it up with a P5 babyplugging. The color matches up nicely.
Will try it out with small soft plastics.
Too be honest, doesn't feel much different from the 21 Luvius airity.
It is lighter in weight though. On my scale the 23 Airity weighs around 5.2 oz. The old ones weighs around 5.4 oz.
Waiting for the new Vanquish to come out also. I'll order one once they are available.
I'm interested to see how it has improved over the 19 Vanquish.
