Disclaimer: This is an unbiased review. I have purchased this myself and this is what I have received so this is what I have tested. I have no affiliations with any of the brands I use/have used/review.
Here I did an unboxing and review of the Akios Spyro RS Spinning Reel.
Why go for another Akios product?
Aside from the fact that that I like the colour scheme of this reel, the customer service from Akios has NEVER let me down.
From spare parts to rod tip replacement - all have been dealt with in a professional and extremely timely manner.
So when I started thinking about lure fishing and looked for a reel, I just had to check out Akios first.
And sure enough, they just launched this new reel.
Akios Spyro RS Spinning Reel (desciption and product features below are from the Akios Superstore UK Website as of 27/08/2021 @ 17:28: akios-superstore.co.uk/epages...)
The AKIOS SPYRO RS is a truly exceptional high spec lure and bait fixed spool reel. Built upon a super-tough and ultra-rigid frame, CNC machined from solid aluminium billet, the SPYRO is built to last!
When targeting hard fighting fish, a quality drag system can be the difference between landing or losing, particularly with reels of this size. Featuring a smooth and impressively powerful micrometric carbon drag system the SPYRO makes lightwork of taming hard hitting bass, deep diving pollack and surging pike runs.
Equipped with a sturdy RBS (Rotor Balance System) powered by a stainless steel main shaft and brass pinion to provide a powerful retrieve and outstanding fighting ability.
Precision engineering and no less than 8+1 bearings ensure silky smooth mechanics.
Saltwater tested and with upgraded waterproof sealed bearing ensures extra internal protection against corrosion.
Fitted with a CNC machined aluminium quick screw and fold handle mechanism with ergonomic EVA soft grip.
Rigorously tested over a 12 month period throughout the UK and Canary Islands, the SPYRO has accounted for hard fighting specimens including bonito, barracuda, bluefish, bass and pollack.
Available in 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 sizes, there’s a choice for LRF, shore and boat lure, and baiting fishing anglers.
