Akios AIRLOOP R8 Fixed Spool Fishing Reel

The Akios AIRLOOP R8 is the reel of choice should you be seeking extra yardage.  A true casting machine, the AIRLOOP offers super slow oscillation, laying a phenomenal 54 turns of line per cycle on the tournament length spool resulting in truly exceptional line lay. The precise laying of line on the spool significantly reduces frictional drag as the line peels off the spool leading to substantial gains in casting distances.
