    In all likelihood it is made in China. I’m only guessing here….but the Airity has one less bearing and yet the 21 Presso has one more bearing…and oil filled bearings….yet the Airity is priced higher. So I’m thinking that price difference reflects the fact the Airity is made in Japan and the Presso is not. But my logic may be flawed as the first of the new Luvias were made in Japan yet the 2nd run of Luvias were made in China yet the price remained the same.

    There is a frame in that video (at 1:10 min) where the label on the reel's foot can be seen. Quality is quite low and Youtube 's playback speed options are quite limited, but it looks like it may be China... Hopefully I'm wrong.

    I would think the price difference also reflects magnesium alloy body from Exist (in Luvias Airity) vs plastic body from Luvias LT (in Presso LT).

    According to Plat mine just shipped. Got 2 on the way, if they are at least as good as my '17 I'll be happy if better I might be done buying rods and reels for a while accept to eventualy replace my 2nd slow taper special that I shortened making a cast with a bass rod while leaving it standing up in my rod holders.

    DHL Tracking Number / DHL Express Saver

    This is what I got. I had requested Fed Ex shipping. I'm not seeing anything by tracking number. I've had several things from Japan just show up at my door. Scott

    You get your reel yet? If so how do you like it? Mine will not ship until September.
