The Akios AirPower 435 SRS is one of the most powerful surfcasting rods in NZ, designed for anglers who demand extreme casting distance, precision control, and performance in tough surf conditions.
Built with advanced nano carbon technology and a responsive hybrid tip, this 14.5ft surf rod delivers the perfect balance of casting power and bite sensitivity — making it ideal for targeting snapper, kahawai, and other surf species from long range.
If you're serious about distance casting or fishing deeper gutters beyond the breakers, the AirPower 435 SRS is built to perform.
