Akios Krave KX390 13ft & Okuma Surf 8k Combo Akios Krave KX390 13ft 2 Piece Rod The AKIOS KRAVE KX390 13ft offers exceptional value for money, with performance and quality of finish that punches well above its price tag. This 13ft, 2-piece beach and estuary rod is suitable for pairing with either a fixed spool or multiplier reel, and accommodates both monofilament and braided lines. Ideally suited to fishing over clean to mixed ground, the slim, 24-ton carbon blank is deceptively powerful and will happily punch out up to 6oz plus bait. It boasts an exceptionally slim butt diameter of 22.5mm and includes a sliding reel seat with protective EVA collars – typically a feature seen on much higher-end rods. It performs admirably with both basic overhead casting and more advanced techniques like Off-The-Ground casting, showcasing its versatility and power from the slim blank design. Quality fittings throughout, the KRAVE is a fantastic piece of kit at a very reasonable price tag. Okuma Surf 8K The Okuma Surf 8K features a rigid precise aluminium spool with a built in anti-corrosion resistant graphite body. Some beach casting fixed spools are built with extreme distance casting in mind and some with absolute strength, but the Okuma Surf 8K takes it all in its stride and is equally at home hauling cod through the kelp as it is firing baits well over 150yds in the right hands. The super slow oscillation ensures that line is laid as neatly on the spool as is physically possible and the 4.7:1 gear ration makes for the perfect compromise between speed and torque. A feature packed reel from the reliable Okuma stable at a great price.
