Akios Nitron F-15 Conventional Casting Reel
The Akios Nitron F-15 is engineered from the ground up as a long-distance casting powerhouse for serious surf anglers. Combining exceptional casting performance with a super-fast 6.2:1 retrieve and rugged precision-machined gearing, the Nitron F-15 delivers the speed, power, and control needed to target large game fish from the beach, pier, or rocks.
Featuring the innovative Akios QUADRO Magnetic Braking System, anglers can fine-tune casting control with the oversized external adjustment knob. Maximum magnetic braking virtually eliminates overruns in windy conditions, while reducing the braking allows the lightweight tournament spool to spin freely for incredible casting distances. Whether you're chasing red drum on Hatteras Island or casting heavy payloads along any coastline, the Nitron F-15 is built to perform. Available at Frank & Fran's in Avon, NC, and ships nationwide.
