Alutecnos

[Getout]

Anyone had any experence with the Italian Alutecnos range of overhead reels?

I run 5 x alutecnos albacores on my light tackle outfits, these are matched with custom garry howard rods built on 8kg calstar blanks.

They are a very sweet reel!! I set my drags at 3.6 kg on strike and 5 kg on sunset ( 8KG LINE ) AND HAVE NO ISSUE FIGHTING ON SUNSET AT ALL!!!

My mate roota ( thunder bird ) runs thenm aswell and has his set at 4kg strike and recently had a striped marlin on for over 2 hrs fighting it at sunset on the reel at over 5 kg of drag, the 8 kg line didn't fail the leader wore through!

They have a very very smooth drag that doesn't change during the fight , i would highly recomend them to anyone!

Ps.

I was on a boat last year that had

4x 130's
5x 80's
5x50's
5x 20's
4x 16's

All there rods were also custom made with alutecnos guides, nice to have money!
