2021 diawa airity luvias XH

Your turning the drag adjustment knob which is different from the drag clicker that's in the spool. You need to turn the spool to engage the drag.

It's a combination of factors why it doesnt spin as long, First, because of the o rings on the sides of the handle entry points that it spins less freely (compared to the exist that has magseal bearings). Second, if the gearing is tighter and teeth are meshing more accurately, it will affect the free spin. Also, the grease might need wearing in like you mentioned.

I wish daiwa would bring these reels back on the market because they are some bad ass reels they are almost as good as the exist reels they are smooth reels

[@TheSisavath]

@@raymondjohnson6496 agreed

[@LilDino808]

It’s the factory grease

[@fishingwithlee9519]

the airity will be smoother after fishing

[@rontruocchio5744]

many of todays quality waterproof reels have o rings at key points and they will impede a reels ability to spin freely all day. as far as drag noise many guys put a lot of credence into this function but it has absolutely nothing to do with the reels drag ability. many reels use a metal arm on the backside of the spool that bounces off the shaft gear to make the clicking sound. tweek the metal arm a bit so it pings off the gear a little harder and you just made your drag clicker louder.

Hey man somehow ended up getting a 3000S-C. Just wanting to ask since we have the same body size, my reel has a open recessed bearing (you can see the balls) on the right side, could I ask if yours looks the same?

[@TheSisavath]

Not sure I understand your question. But I have never open any of my reels so Idk if the bearing are good or bad. I just know that the reel I have works great.

[@danielwutfisho]

@@TheSisavath so if you take off the handle caps and handle, you can see the bearing in the entry point on the sides

[@danielwutfisho]

​@@TheSisavathJust an update my reels all good 😂. I think honestly there's a fair bit of resistance to the reel, especially compared to a shimano vanford. But its super smooth and light.

[@TheSisavath]

I would have to say no. I don’t think bearings are suppose to be visible

[@danielwutfisho]

@@TheSisavath They are on the 2000/2500 luvias airity, its a open bearing design on the right side of the body

[@raymondjohnson6496]

Have been buying anymore reels lately you don’t have any Shimano twinpower c2500sxg reels do you Iam thinking about getting one I don’t know if they are any good

[@TheSisavath]

@@raymondjohnson6496 I do not have the twin power but I do have the vanguish and it’s almost as good as the Stella

[@raymondjohnson6496]

Hey just wondering what do you do with these bags comes with these reels you keep them or just throw them in the box and put the box on the shelf just wondering if you want to sale them or give them away all the reels come with them bags

[@TheSisavath]

Thanks for the comment. Tell u the truth I think I just keep them with the box.

[@brentkeys1876]

Does the reel get smoother as it breaks in? My new airity isn't as smooth or refined as my 2018 exist

[@TheSisavath]

Yes… but the airity imo is slightly still not as good as the exist.

[@raymondjohnson6496]

Do you have the shimano vanquish reel just wondering I heard so much about that reel wondering if it’s more smoother than the Daiwa luvias Airity fc I have two or three of them

[@TheSisavath]

I do not. I do have the Stella fj. The diawa feels better to me.

[@raymondjohnson6496]

@@TheSisavath I have that reel I just don’t know about this vanquish reel
