Akios Airspeed 435 Black Edition SX8 Combo

Akios Airspeed 435 Black Edition

Released back in 2017, the original Akios Airspeed was a massive hit with both recreational and match anglers due to its excellent casting performance and exceptional tip. Akios have now improved upon this modern classic with the introduction of the new Akios AIRSPEED 435 MKII BLACK EDITION.

Sporting an all black livery with silver and gold trim complemented with subtle decals, the BLACK EDITION looks truly sublime!

Constructed from a new grade of nano-carbon material for improved strength, and featuring a spyrowrap butt section for even greater power, the AIRSPEED BLACK EDITION is better than ever before. It offers impressive casting performance with a simple overhead thump whilst the hybrid tip provides the sensitivity to detect the shyest of bites.

The Akios AIRSPEED MKII BLACK EDITION's striking looks will turn the heads of envious anglers right along the beach, but more importantly, the outstanding casting performance will enable baits to be sent out further and cover a wider expanse of ground than ever before. 

This rod is a serious piece of kit for serious anglers and is set to become a firm favourite amongst the top match anglers yet again.

Akios UTOPIA SX8 Fixed Spool Reel

Engineered for maximum casting potential, the UTOPIA SX8’s slow oscillation delivers truly exceptional line lay across the full length of the angled lip long cast spool resulting in significantly reduced line friction and tangibly greater casting distances. The lightweight design not only offers a more balanced feel on the rod, more importantly, it allows for increased hand speed during the cast, improving acceleration through the swing and adding yards to the cast.

Line recovery is swift with 100cm of line retrieved in a single turn of the handle, taking the strain out of hauling in end gear after a long cast and bringing fish to shore quickly. No less than 8x shielded stainless steel bearings and a worm drive gearing mechanism ensure an ultra-smooth operation on the retrieve.

Supplied with both a deep and shallow aluminium spool and a shallow Teflon spool, together with both a torpedo power grip handle and wooden barrel handle, the UTOPIA SX offers the serious angler a high-performance, ultra-lightweight reel at an exceptional value.
