Alutecnos Albacore stand-up rods are two-piece boat rods with a detachable aluminium butt, available in straight or curved versions. The blank is a carbon-glass composite, finished in Italy using high-quality materials. The rod is built to deliver serious power while keeping a clean, responsive action. An EVA-grip handle gives a comfortable hold during a long fight, and the patented removable roller system lets the rollers be taken off for cleaning or maintenance. Rings are secured by triple binding, and the whipping shows exceptional attention to detail. Notes on the classes: the 30/50lb class suits UK shark fishing and is ideal for porgies and threshers. The 50/80 class is a bluefin tuna rod, a joy to play big fish on, and carries the best rollers in the business. The blanks these rods are built on have a superb action and are extremely robust. - Blank in carbon-glass composite EVA-grip handle. - Alutecnos removable aluminium butt in curved short and straight versions. - Alutecnos removable rollers or silicon carbide guides. - Triple binding for rollers and guides.
