The AKIOS KRAVE series offers exceptional value for money, with performance and quality of finish that punches well above its price tag. A 13ft 2-piece and 14ft 3-piece model, both suitable for pairing with either fixed spool or multiplier reel, and both accommodating either monofilament or braided lines. Ideally suited to fishing over clean to mixed ground, the slim, 24-ton carbon blank is deceptively powerful and will happily punch out up to 6oz plus bait.The butt diameter of the 2-piece rod is extremely slim at 22.5mm, whereas the 3-piece rod comes in at a similarly impressive 23mm. They perform admirably with both basic overhead casting and more advanced techniques like Off-The-Ground casting, showcasing their versatility and power from the slim blank design. With quality fittings throughout, the KRAVE is a fantastic piece of kit with a very reasonable price tag.

The latest addition to the Akios range of first class rodsAn extremely powerful and sturdy sleek rod built by AKIOS will handle all sorts of fish and conditions, quick next day delivery.AKIOS NITRON 440 SVR: Supercharged for Power and Performance.The Nitron SVR is engineered for anglers seeking peak performance from a true all-rounder shore rod. Whether fishing over clean, mixed, or rough ground, targeting rays, hounds, conger, tope, or skate, the Nitron SVR excels in every situation.Supercharged Blank Technology ensures peak performance along the entire length of the blank. By combining carbon of varying stiffness through dynamic modulus construction, the rod delivers massive power in the low and mid zones for explosive casting performance, while the tip responds with lightning-fast recovery. Crafted from ultra-low-resin carbon fibre prepreg and autoclave-cured under high compression, it achieves a precisely calibrated transfer of energy from butt to tip. The result is a perfectly balanced, high-performance rod blank that excels in every situation.Built with the AKIOS Tri-Axial Carbon Matrix, a multi-directional carbon fibre architecture with optimised 0°, ±45°, and 90° fibre orientations, the blank offers colossal casting potential. Enhanced torque resistance prevents twist, maintaining precise guide alignment, while progressive power distribution allows the rod to load smoothly, maximising casting efficiency and distance from minimal effort.Equipped with Fuji KWAG guides with ultra-low friction ceramic inserts, optimised for minimal line drag, and spaced to reduce stress peaks and maximise blank efficiency. The anti-torsion layout aligns the guide train along the rod’s structural power axis, ensuring maximum stability during powerful casts and when fighting large fish.The rod’s finely tuned AKIOS CarboGlass tip combines high-performance S-Glass fibre with precision-overlaid carbon fibre, delivering the sensitivity of glass alongside high-velocity recovery for more efficient and powerful casts. The use of premium S-Glass offers notable advantages over standard glass fibre: it’s lighter, reducing tip heaviness; stronger and faster in recovery; and significantly more sensitive, enhancing your feel for every bite.Akios NITRON 440 SVR: supercharged for power and performance.
