Akios AIRPOWER 420 GTR 2 Piece Rod 4.2m 14ft

Description

The AKIOS AIRPOWER 420 GTR – Supreme All-Rounder Fishing Rod

Released in 2018, the AIRPOWER RXP, often referred to as ‘the 2-Piece Beast’, quickly achieved cult status amongst anglers largely due to its phenomenal casting power and exquisite fishing tip.  The AIRPOWER RXP SRS, a sliding reel seat version, soon followed offering even greater versatility.

Requests for a two-piece version have been constant throughout. Well, AKIOS listened, and have now released the all-new two-piece AKIOS AIRPOWER GTR.

When developing the AIRPOWER GTR there was one primary objective, to develop a true all-rounder fishing rod suitable for varied fishing situations, one that offers ample power to cast large baits for large fish if needed, yet equally capable of flicking out a bunch of ragworm for plaice, and offering the feel and feedback through the blank to maximise the enjoyment of the fight.

The 14ft blank boasts a powerful butt and mid-section that progressively blends into a sensitive glass tip for superb bite detection.  Suitable for all casting styles including a simple over-head thump, off-the-ground, or a more powerful pendulum cast with leads between 4-8oz and suitable for clean, mixed and rough ground, the AIRPOWER GTR is a hugely versatile fishing rod designed for the serious angler.
