After much research and feedback on this board I had decided to get the JDM Exist over the Stella. The shops I normally deal with did not have it in stock so I decided to get the Luvias Airity instead which was in stock. I ordered the FCLT2000S.
The reel arrived and I am impressed. It's hard to believe the Exist is better than this. This reel is a bit smaller than the 2000 size '09 Certate that I have. I guess I could have gotten a 2500 size but I am not complaining.
Being a JDM reel the instruction sheet is in Japanese. I tried looking for it on the Daiwa JP website so I could have my browser translate but couldn't find it. The reel came with some washers in a bag. Can someone tell me what they are for?

You can use google translate in camera mode to tranlate Paper and signs.
Re: 21 Luvias Airity
I read somewhere before those washers are for spool position adjustment...never tried it myself though
any experience of Airity vs. Vanquish? I have my eyes on Airity but also thinking getting another Vanquish...I have some Daiwa spinning reels (Steez type 2, new and old Certate, Ignis Type R etc) but something about Vanquish feels special in my hands, its light and crisp and sensitive. given Airity also a magnesium body and similar weight I can't help wonder how different or similar they are.
Re: 21 Luvias Airity
I was not aware of that app. I downloaded it and was able to get it to work. The trick was to use blank paper to mask around each section so the camera didn't pick up extra. It was a little clunky but it gave me what I needed.
The washers are to adjust the spooling if needed.
Re: 21 Luvias Airity
The Exist LT and Luvias Airity are pretty much the same reel. Minus a bearing and some mag seal.
With the Exist, you are paying for the lifetime warranty. The Luvias airity doesn't have the warranty but is much cheaper.
In hand they feel identical. Both are great reels.
