Akios Nitron F-16 Reel - Black

Akios Nitron F-16 Reel. The all-new AKIOS NITRON F-16 has been re-engineered from the ground up, every single component scrutinised, and refined and perfected were required. The result? A powerhouse long-distance casting reel that is, quite simply, in a league of its own.

The F-16 features a newly designed X-Frame tournament cage, CNC-machined from a solid billet of aircraft-grade aluminium. This ultra-rigid yet lightweight frame dramatically reduces distortion during the cast, delivering unrivalled stability and performance. The increased rigidity also allows for tighter spool-to-cage tolerances, and coupled with a newly designed spool, the F-16 enables the use of low-diameter lines right down to 0.32mm, unlocking extreme casting potential.

Casting control has been elevated to a new standard with the next-generation QUADRO-MAG+ braking system. Offering 13 finely tuned increments of adjustment, it provides unmatched versatility across varying conditions and casting styles. With mags wound fully on, large baits can be launched with confidence and zero overrun. Wind them off, and the anti-distortion tournament spool runs completely free — unleashing insane casting distances.

Smoothness and strength come as standard. The F-16 is armed with five precision bearings, including ABEC 5 spool bearings for blistering spool speeds, a pinion gear bearing for flawless meshing under load, and an IAR bearing for instant lock-up. An EVA power handle, mounted on a ball-bearing spindle, ensures effortless retrieves, while the 6.2:1 gearbox delivers super-fast retrieval speeds and immense cranking power.

Built for dedicated anglers, the upgraded multi-carbon drag system ensures you stay in complete control when battling powerful fish.

Tough, refined, and re-engineered for superior performance, the AKIOS NITRON F-16 isn’t just a reel — it represents the ultimate in high-performance long-casting powerhouse reel technology.
