The Akios AirTorque 435 + R10 Black Edition Surfcasting Combo is a premium long-distance surfcasting setup designed for serious NZ surfcasters chasing maximum casting performance, power and bite detection.
This high-end surfcasting combo pairs the legendary Akios AirTorque 435 Black Edition continental surf rod with the smooth and powerful Akios Airloop R10 Black Edition long cast reel, creating a balanced setup capable of fishing rough surf, deep gutters and long-distance beach conditions around New Zealand.
Designed for Long Distance Surfcasting
The Akios AirTorque 435 is built using advanced nano-carbon construction with enhanced lower blank power for faster recovery, increased casting compression and superior distance casting performance. Combined with the Airloop R10 long cast reel, this combo is ideal for anglers wanting to push baits further and fish confidently in demanding surf conditions.
The hybrid carbon tip still provides excellent bite detection while maintaining the backbone needed for heavier sinkers and larger fish.
