Daiwa Airity 2500 (JDM): All 7 Sizes – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Daiwa Japan's 23 Airity spec table lists 7 sizes with 2500 in the code: LT2500S, LT2500S-DH, LT2500S-XH, PC LT2500, PC LT2500-H, SF2500SS and SF2500SS-H-QD. By spool size and drag they form 3 groups: LT2500S, LT2500S-DH and LT2500S-XH (45 mm dia. spool, 5 kg max drag, 150–165 g); PC LT2500 and PC LT2500-H (45 mm dia. spool, 10 kg max drag, 165 g); SF2500SS and SF2500SS-H-QD (45 mm dia. spool, 3 kg max drag, 135 g). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: LT2500S 5.1:1, LT2500S-DH 5.1:1, LT2500S-XH 6.2:1, PC LT2500 5.2:1, PC LT2500-H 5.7:1, SF2500SS 5:1, SF2500SS-H-QD 5.7:1.
