Daiwa 20 Aird-X Rod

AIRD is a name synonymous with affordable quality from Daiwa, with AIRD LT reels setting the bar for small spinning reel performance. Now, that same evolution is here for rod design, with the introduction of 20 AIRD-X.

Featuring Daiwa’s BRAIDING-X technology, AIRD-X blanks are more powerful than ever, and have been made lighter by the use of new finishing techniques to reduce unnecessary weight. This reduction in weight improves blank sensitivity, making 20 AIRD-X the most sensitive rods in this price point Daiwa has ever produced.

Fuji’s Corrosion Control (CC) finish ‘O’ ring guides give a high level of confidence to the angler, and a uniquely designed Daiwa reel seat improves ergonomics and comfort over a long period of time.

Designed from the ground up for Australian techniques, 20 AIRD-X boasts the most significant model line-up of any AIRD rod series. Brand-new models catering to all kinds of angling situations mean there will be an AIRD-X rod to cater for every anglers’ needs across the country.

Perfectly matched with our AIRD LT spinning reels and AIRD 100 baitcaster reels.

 

Features

• HSD Graphite
• BRAIDING X - Daiwa’s latest carbon technology, Braiding X is a low resin, high strength, reduced weight, high density, carbon weave that creates a blank that has maximum density, yet is super light, sensitive, and highly responsiveness.

• FUJI STAINLESS STEEL GUIDES - Light, strong, and highly corrosion resistant, Fuji stainless steel guides are tailor-made for Australia's harsh conditions.
