Description
For anglers targeting the rugged UK shore, the Akios F-16 is a game-changer, engineered specifically for both extreme casting distance and the power needed to land hard-fighting fish.
This reel combines the legendary casting performance of the Akios SHuttle with a robust, high-retrieve gearbox, making it a true powerhouse on the beach. Its CNC one-piece X-frame design provides a rigid, durable backbone that won’t flex under pressure, ensuring all your effort goes into the cast and the fight.
Engineered for the serious angler, the all-new Akios Nitron F-16 is a powerhouse designed to deliver extreme distance and performance on the beach. Every component has been re-engineered and perfected to give you the ultimate edge in long-distance casting.
Unrivaled Casting Performance
The Nitron F-16 features a newly designed X-Frame tournament cage, precision-machined from a solid billet of aircraft-grade aluminum. This ultra-rigid, yet lightweight frame provides incredible stability and significantly reduces distortion during a cast, allowing you to unleash maximum power. This enhanced rigidity also enables tighter spool-to-cage tolerances, and when paired with the redesigned spool, you can confidently use ultra-thin lines down to 0.32mm to unlock insane casting potential.
Casting control is taken to a new level with the next-generation QUADRO-MAG+ braking system. With 13 finely tuned increments of adjustment, you get unmatched versatility for any condition or casting style. With the magnets fully engaged, you can launch large baits with confidence and zero fear of overruns. Wind them off, and the anti-distortion tournament spool runs completely free, letting you achieve your maximum casting distance.
Power and Precision
h. Armed with five precision bearings, including high-speed ABEC 5 spool bearings and an IAR bearing for instant lock-up, the reel delivers blistering speed and flawless operation under load. The 6.2:1 gearbox provides super-fast retrieval speeds and immense cranking power, while the EVA power handle ensures an effortless retrieve, so you can focus on the fight.
The Akios Nitron F-16 isn’t just a reel—it’s a high-performance machine built for anglers who demand the best in long-casting powerhouse technology.
. A free-floating spool on a 5mm spindle further reduces friction, allowing for effortless line release and incredible casting range.
Once a powerful fish takes the bait—like a large cod, bass, or ray—the F-16 is more than ready. Its 15kg multi-disc carbon drag system provides immense stopping power and smooth, consistent pressure, preventing break-offs during the most aggressive runs. The oversized brass main gear and bronze pinion are built for maximum strength and endurance, ensuring you can apply serious pressure and winch in heavy catches without a second thought. The 6.2:1 high retrieve ratio and counter-balanced power handle give you the speed and leverage to quickly gain line, keeping you in control from the moment the fish bites to the moment it’s on the shore.
