As bright & bold as ever, the 23 AIRD builds on the fundamentals of Daiwa spinning reels by introducing AIRDRIVE DESIGN for the first time, into an affordable price-point spinning reel suitable for all angling skills.
ARIDRIVE DESIGN is incorporated in 23 AIRD through AIRDRIVE ROTOR, AIRDRIVE BAIL and AIRDRIVE SPOOL.
The rotor is the most obvious and important change, with a significant weight reduction to the rotor unit, lightweight rotation is achieved. By reducign the weight of rotational mass, anglers will feel that 23 AIRD is easier to turn than ever, especially the start up inertia.
The new AIRDRIVE bail is a great upgrade from the previous model, with a lighter weight construction further reducing the weight and lowering the start-up inertia even more.
23 AIRD is built off the same carbon light body, making it rigid, sturdy and impervious to saltwater corrosion. Tough Digigear is installed inside the body to provide a powerful and smooth retrieve, and the comfortable EVA knob is a great quality-of-life upgrade for the keen angler.
Whether you're looking for your first, or fifth reel to add to the collection, you can't beat the performance and value that AIRD brings, now with AIRDRIVE DESIGN, 23 AIRD is better than ever!
AIRDRIVE DESIGN
Daiwa’s new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function.
ABS-LONGCAST
Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.

EVA KNOB
Delivered enhanced angler comfort and contact, EVA knobs provide optimum contact in wet conditions.
INFINITE ANTI REVERSE
Daiwa's advanced system that limits rearward backplay handle movement to almost zero for solid hooksets with less shock to the reel. The result is the elimination of handle slap-back and the unwanted release of line.
PERFECT LINE STOPPER
Our new larger rectangular flexible clip that can be used from all line angles and from light to heavy lines.
PIN THROUGH HANDLE
An inline, pin-through handle assembly makes handle removal and installation simple and quick, with the handle inserted through the reel then secured into place with a threaded screw cap.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR
A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
