Fishermen's opinions about Daiwa Aird

Very nice casting

Put a Shimano Caenan on it and could not be happier. Using 15lb power pro and it just casts a mile even with the lightest baits. Did not break the bank either.

I am impressed with the rod. I have many other UL rods that are going to be put away while I enjoy fishing with this rod. Light awesome casting, long enough for some give in fighting good size trout. I'm saving penny's for another one.

Very Light M/H rod

I love the feel of this rod. I fished it for 12 hours the other day and it rubbed a blister on my index finger from the threads on the rod. Caught 5 bass with it. no problems fighting fish. Largest 4lbs.

The Arid Rod is so light and easy to fish with. You'll love it!

Avoid Aird

This rod is light and looks nice but the MH model I received was not perfectly straight and the minimalist stainless steel guides seem like they'd be better on a lighter rod. Fishing with the rod is unremarkable and for me the split grip handle was too small. It may be more comfortable for women or kids. This rod costs too much for what you get, especially since it has a 1 year warranty (a detail not communicated on this or Daiwa's web site). The aird reel that goes with this rod is a different color than the rod so I also didn't get the color coordinated outfit that I thought would be cool.
