i asked that question 3 weeks ago on this site in the other angling chat but i have a answer for you a good friend of mine brought an airity and sold me his torney i asked weather there is a difference between the pole and his words was he made a mistake selling the pro there is little between the two

I've been told that by someone who's had a go , but the funny thing is , they'll sell loads to ex pro owners

Didnt look that special when it was on tight lines not held one but wouldnt buy another diawa pole had a tourny pro spares to expensive sold it bought a sensas which is just as good for half the price

The pro has been the best all round pole over the last 5 years and people would probably be hard pushed to disagree with that.

Your right on that one , Oneabung . I've owned the "X" , 410 and now the pro because the build quality is the best out there , but at the moment i see no need to swap to the airity

The only difference I am told with the Airity is the following -

Better spares package (5 x Match top 4's and 4 x Big Bore Power Tops)
No 4 and No 5 sections much improved stiffness which gives the overall pole impression of being better than the pro.
Also the Big Bore tops are a massive improvement on the old CTK5 power tops supplied with the Pro which weren't even worth having.

Otherwise the Airity is off the same mandrill as the pro so will appeal to Pro owners who's poles are wearing out as they can keep the old pole as a spares package for the new one. Also all tops from Pro fit the Airity, so you can see Daiwa's logic to appeal the the mass army of Pro owners.
