The DAIWA AIRITY ST series represents a pinnacle in spinning reel design, meticulously crafted for anglers who demand exceptional sensitivity and direct rotational feel. Building upon the ultra-lightweight AIRITY platform, the AIRITY ST introduces specialized tuning to enhance the finesse fishing experience.
Enhanced Rotational Sensitivity
In disciplines such as area trout, native trout, and bass fishing, expert anglers continually seek reels that offer lighter rotation and heightened sensitivity. The AIRITY ST addresses these desires through several key modifications:
Oil-Filled Ball Bearings: The reel's primary rotational components have been upgraded from standard grease-filled bearings to low-viscosity oil-filled bearings. While grease-filled bearings provide durability, the oil-filled variants significantly reduce rotational resistance, offering a markedly lighter and more responsive handle turn.
Omission of MagSealed Technology: To achieve further weight reduction and minimize rotational resistance, the AIRITY ST deliberately excludes the MagSealed feature in the pinion area. This decision enhances the reel's direct rotational feel, allowing anglers to experience minimal resistance and receive more immediate feedback through the handle.
AIRDRIVE Design Integration
Central to the AIRITY ST's performance is DAIWA's AIRDRIVE Design, a next-generation spinning reel concept focused on intuitive lure control and high responsiveness. This design encompasses four innovative technologies:
AIRDRIVE Rotor: Featuring a novel shape derived from a sphere, unnecessary material is meticulously removed to achieve significant weight reduction without compromising rigidity. This results in a substantial improvement in the lightness of the initial rotation, enhancing both operability and sensitivity.
AIRDRIVE Bail: Utilizing a hollow pipe structure, the AIRDRIVE Bail achieves further weight reduction while maintaining necessary strength. The optimal bail angle ensures smoother line transition from the bail to the line roller, contributing to trouble-free operation.
AIRDRIVE Spool: By eliminating unnecessary material, the spool's thin-walled design reduces weight, improving the lightness of the initial rotation and casting operability. Additionally, a low-resistance drag sound mechanism enhances drag response during operation.
AIRDRIVE Shaft: The main shaft and pinion are configured in a non-contact structure, eliminating friction resistance. Supporting both ends of the pinion with ball bearings maximizes the connection of input power to rotational force, while high-precision collars supporting the main shaft significantly reduce rotational noise.
Model Lineup and Specifications
The AIRITY ST series offers six models, including the ST and ST SF variants, each tailored for finesse fishing applications. These models maintain the fundamental performance of the original AIRITY series while incorporating the specialized enhancements described above.
Conclusion
The DAIWA AIRITY ST series stands as a testament to DAIWA's commitment to innovation and precision in reel design. By focusing on reducing rotational resistance and enhancing sensitivity, the AIRITY ST provides anglers with a reel that delivers unparalleled direct rotational feel, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to elevate their finesse fishing experience.
