Daiwa Airty PC LT2500-H vs Shimano Vanquish 2500s comparison

In germany it is 579 for airity and 450 for vanquish. Therefore the vanquish is way more popular.

im looking to get the airily 2500 , would 10lb braid work in this reel ?

Hello, you think PC 2500 model is much more stronger than 2500s model with smaller body?
I cant decide which one pick up for trout fishing on the river where i use tight wobler around 6cm like a Rapala CountDown Elite 55 etc.
Thank you very much for answer if you have more experience.

The 23 Airity is just so superior to Shimano equivalents

Are you sure you can just open the cap at the bottom to add grease to the main gear?
On earlier Luvias 20 models you have to remove spool, rotor, magseal and everything to unscrew the long screw holding the cap

I buy original Magseal oil from Japan

I find the Daiwa easiest to maintain, Once you get the side plate tool it is a breeze! No little screws to drop and very sturdy construction,

Airity for me. Cos if i go home that I don't catch a fish that day. I know my reel is looking good. 😂😅😊 Thanks for the nice video

Always Shimano, like you say when it comes to maintenance it's a big factor; in regards to purchase your fishing gears investment, and if a company going to be a B!tch about allowing the owner to services him/her self; to me i think it's kinda stupid

I don't own the Airity yet but I just used my 23' Vanquish C2000S and C2000SHG and the line management is perfect and the line just flies effortlessly off the spool compared to my 19' versions but the 23' Vanquish's don't give you that floating low inertia spin that the 19' models did. I went with the Vanquish first because they match most of my rod's. The Airity is by far better looking though. Thank's for the video. Spot on!

I have also both 23 vanquish 3000sdh and 23 airity lt2500. The vanquish is smoother but I like the look of the airity better.

Definitely airty for me, love looks, color, spool, seem to have power gear, and sexy handle. It would be nice if possible to change knob to something round!

Great comparison video.
You were correct by comparing them to cars for the maintenance.
Both are good reels.

Oh no , for casting performance there IS a difference if ur casting techs. good enough , same rod, line n lure , reels r stella 5000 fk ( which is similar to ur vanquish in this aspect) n daiwa certate 5000lt again similar to ur airity , line lay @slow worm gear osc along with a better spool lip angle enhanced with long stroke , that’s almost big pit reel compination features for regular spinning reel !

Buen video ,muy ilustrativo,un saludo

As per ajing , which one would you choose
