Description
Pro-level casting technology at an entry-level price. The Daiwa Aird 80 Baitcasting Reel is built around Daiwa’s MagForce LC-Concept braking system — the same magnetic cast control technology found in higher-end Daiwa reels — delivering smooth, long-distance casts with dramatically reduced backlash for anglers of all skill levels.
Compact and lightweight at just 7.0 oz, the Aird 80 is an ideal all-purpose bass fishing baitcaster. The 7.5:1 high-speed gear ratio handles everything from burning spinnerbaits to fast-paced topwater work, while the 90mm swept handle with rubberized grips provides the leverage and control needed when fighting bigger fish. Available in right and left-hand retrieve at the same $99.99 price.
