The Akios Shuttle 656 SCM is the ULTIMATE shore casting reel!
AKIOS constantly listen to anglers wishes. When enough ask for a piece of gear, AKIOS strive to deliver. Lately, there’s been increasing requests for the original, classic AKIOS SHUTTLE with chromed brass side plates. And so AKIOS have delivered with the introduction of this new Special Edition AKIOS SHUTTLE 656 SCM.
Sporting a fresh, modern look and featuring the iconic chromed brass side plates and a one-piece CNC low rider cage, the SHUTTLE is back!
Equipped with a free-floating spool system and two integrated ABEC 5 stainless steel bearings, the AKIOS SHUTTLE 656 SCM is designed to improve casting distances. Its advanced dual braking system, combining centrifugal and magnetic brakes, can be easily configured for overrun-free casting by the novice, or fully primed for the accomplished caster seeking to send a lead to the horizon and beyond.
The low-profile solid aluminium cage sits 5mm lower on the rod, ensuring a secure thumb grip to prevent spool slippage during power casting.
