The new Daiwa 23 Airity is the lightest Daiwa spinning reel ever: The new Airity features simply exceptional performance and construction quality. The body is of the monocoque type (MQ) entirely built in Magnesium to offer unparalleled parameters of structural rigidity and lightness. The 23 Airity was developed according to the new Airdrive Design construction concept for the construction of rotor, coil and bow, borrowed from the brand new top of the range Exist. The rotor in particular, built in Zaion, is designed to reduce weight and rotational inertia to a minimum, while maintaining even greater robustness than "standard" Air Rotors. The ATD-L clutch is also of the latest generation and has sensitivity and precision performance never seen before: it reacts sweetly and softly to the initial stress, then quickly but superprogressively sets to the set brake. A fundamental characteristic especially for those techniques that require the use of thin and very thin lines, such as trout area or light spinning.

The Shimano Technium AS Trout Area is a new series of trout area rods designed specifically to maximize fishing performance with small hardbaits and spoons. Ultra light and thin, the Technium AS's premium action is semi-parabolic to improve casting and fish retrieval when using light lines and barbless hooks. The Technium AS offers small diameters with excellent performance. Paired with a small Shimano 1000 or 2000 spinning reel, you get a set-up that even the best Trout Area anglers would be happy to use. You can't help but notice how well the Technium AS casts, even when using the smallest spoons, weighing less than 1g. But it is when you hook a trout that the rod shows its true values: it bends gently along its entire length, absorbing escapes and headbutts from the hooked trout. The Technium AS Full Carbon blanks are in line with the latest requirements for Trout Area rods. Lightweight, ultra-thin and with perfect action, the addition of Shimano's exclusive Diaflash technology gives all four models the perfect amount of backbone to accurately cast ultra-light lures and create spoons and micros hardbait. To reinforce the quality of the design, Technium AS uses Fuji KR type guides with Fazlite coatings, which work particularly well with ultra-thin braided lines. The ergonomic Shimano IPS reel seat was chosen to ensure comfort and sensitivity and the split grip cork handle completes the modern and classic look. Available in four different models: two lengths and two powers, to best meet your needs.
The Daiwa Presso landing net is specially designed for the trout area, it is also perfect for spinning fishing in general. Superlight and particularly comfortable, thanks to the shaped EVA handle which increases grip. The length of the handle is 140 cm, while the size of the frame is 50 cm X 40 cm, with a depth of 25 cm. To ensure good portability, the handle is foldable: it slides inside the frame, thus reducing the overall dimensions to 90 cm during transport. The Presso Landing Net is supplied with a riser to allow for a more comfortable and safe rest on the ground during fishing.
