DAIWA AIRD SW 8000 BOAT SPIN REEL
22040
The Daiwa Aird SW Spin Reel is purpose-built for saltwater anglers who demand strength, reliability, and smooth performance at an affordable price point. Building on the success of the popular Aird LT, the Aird SW introduces a larger, more robust frame with an aluminium body that’s engineered to withstand the harshest saltwater conditions.
Available in two powerful sizes – the Boat model (8000 size) and the Surf model (10000 size) – this reel is ideal for offshore boat fishing, beach casting, and chasing larger species such as mulloway, tailor, salmon, snapper, and kingfish.
Fitted with DIGIGEAR II technology, the Aird SW ensures seamless power transfer and maximum durability, while the large EVA ball knob provides unbeatable grip and comfort when fighting big fish under load. Combined with features like Infinite Anti-Reverse, Twist Buster line management, and a lightweight Wirebail system, this reel delivers confidence and performance cast after cast.
If you’re looking for a tough, dependable, and affordable saltwater reel, the Daiwa Aird SW Spin Reel is ready to take on the challenge.
