Akios NITRON 440 SVR High Performance Rod 14ft 6in Overview
The Akios NITRON 440 SVR High Performance Rod is engineered for serious shore anglers demanding peak casting power and versatility. At 14ft 6in (4.40m), this elite surf rod is designed to handle a wide range of conditions from clean to rough ground, making it suitable for targeting sizeable species such as rays, hounds, conger, tope, and skate.
With advanced blank technology, precision components, and premium guide configuration, the NITRON 440 SVR delivers explosive casting performance and reliable control when playing large fish.
Craftsmanship & Construction
This rod features Supercharged Blank Technology, combining carbon of varying stiffness through dynamic modulus construction to generate power across the blank with explosive distance potential. The ultra-low-resin carbon fibre prepreg blank is autoclave-cured under high compression, producing a finely balanced structure that transfers energy efficiently from butt to tip.
The AKIOS Tri-Axial Carbon Matrix incorporates fibres at 0°, ±45°, and 90° orientations to ensure colossal casting potential and enhanced torsion resistance, maintaining precise guide alignment under load. Metal band reinforced spigots and butt end bolster strength where it matters most.
Component Details
Fuji KWAG guides with ultra-low friction ceramic inserts are spaced to reduce stress peaks and line drag, while the anti-torsion layout aligns the guide train along the blank’s structural power axis. The precision-tuned AKIOS CarboGlass tip blends high-performance S-Glass fibre with carbon overlays, offering sensitivity and rapid recovery for efficient casts and improved bite detection.
