Sea Fishing UK | Smoothounds and new Akios Power Tips!

Well if you watched last weeks video, thank you! But you will also know that I had a bit of a tumble. Firstly, thanks for the concern, I'm fine, no lasting damage to me. The rod however, took a beating. I smashed the ceramic inserts on 2 eyes in the tip section, and chipped a couple more. Luckily the customer care from Akios was top class. Simon offered to send me out replacement eyes, but I opted to purchase new tip sections. Firstly it means the rods back in action sooner, also it means the finish is top quality, not botched up in my garage with some random green cotton and nail varnish!
With the good weather continuing, and fish reports looking good, I opted for a quick session back on the Holderness coast. The sea was as flat as you would like, so Smoothound and Rays would be the target of the day.
Admittedly, this session wasn't as productive as the last one over this way, but it was still nice to be out, and the smoothounds continue to provide entertainment.
The power tips for the Akios Fury FX420, is a game changer. Maybe a little too stiff for the holderness coast, when targeting bass and smoothounds, I'd say the standard tip does just fine. But with the new Power tips being a hollow construction, and stiffer, I'd happily take the Fury's off in search of Tope (watch this space)
Hope you're all well, take care, and tight lines!
Alex

    Just won a mint as new Akios Endurance Pro on fleabay with power tip only for nothing. Normal tip arriving today! Great value and super service from Simon at Akios. Can't wait to try them out now.

    Obviously I'm biased. But you won't get better customer service than with akios 👌🏽 hope you enjoy the endurance, it's one I haven't had my hands on yet.

    Good session that m8 a nice flounder and hound that's why I only fish with one rod when the tide is pulling. Myself and my m8 fished runnels a couple of weeks ago I had bluey,mackerel, squid hoping for a ray or a hound but baits were getting hit by turbot, I was using my Ron Thompson axellarator giving it a try out ant it was the same the tip was holding nicely but with the reel on the ratchet line was peeling off due to the tide movement but will try again. Thanks for sharing the video keep e coming tight lines 👍🎣🎣🎣
