DEAN BOOKER- Akios Airsport Surf 420 CBR TEST DRIVE!

[@adrianbryant7342]

Well done Dean on your review of the Akios i think He Likes it a Lot 😊

[@colinmaceachern9]

Cracking review Dean. I had the pleasure of using the rod whilst it was in the prototype stages. I was sorry when I had to hand the rod back. The CBR is a lovely rod to cast.

@colinmaceachern9 I have one of the prototype rods. Absolutely awesome piece of kit. Cheers Paul

[@shogunpxp]

Thanks for that. You've just gone and cost me £360. Just ordered one. 😂😂 brilliant video

[@Lordofrings-p1d]

Geddon bookyyyyy!! Top content as always you're a part of fishing royalty in this country IMO. next to John Wilson,Matt Hayes or even Henry Gilbey! As an angler all my life, i appreciate what you and others like Tom Bagnall, GG and Wayne Hand to mention just a few do for us armchair anglers. growing up, we only really had Wilson, Hayes and a few others but they were all freshwater with the oddd foray into UK sea fishing. Now us sea anglers are spoilt for choice with you guys at veals and others. Keep it up dude.

Cracking video and a awesome rod. Well done m8. Akios all day long for me. Cheers Paul

[@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony]

you nearly converted me then dean , looks a great rod wicked casting dean

[@JohnHurlock-x8u]

Liking the comparison to other rod producers. Have a pair of Fireblades GT's at 14 and like them a lot and hearing that they will handle 10oz and bait with a carbon tip might make me want to part with my Kompressor SS's. Nice video.

[@trancegsi]

Just received one Monday...not cast yet . I have the GTR and it's a fantastic blank.

[@One.man.one.leg.casting]

The main man is back

[@LeeCook-u5q]

Looks like a lovely rod. Also that mark looks banging as well. Could you tell me where that is. Or a post code

[@fishing540]

Seems good rod I like akios rods

[@daystatesniper01]

Good review but i wish these reviews would cover fixed spools as well

[@christhefish29]

Great video dean, I do like the look of that rod. it seems like something between a fireblade GT and a t900. Stunning casting too mate👍

[@AidyTaylor]

Hiya Dean hope your all well and all OK with what's happing with floods mate

[@Madray47]

Nice rod

[@ChrisJackson-tv2rj]

Well done Akios. If this rod is a Akios GTR (which I own) on steroids. Yes please! 🐳👍👏👏👏

[@zefe3886]

If you want power above the GTR, this is not it. I have tried both and if you rate GTR for mixed to rough ground, the CBR is clean to mixed ground.

[@simoned01se]

Hi Dean great rod but a potential controversial question, how does it compare to a T900 as looking to up grade my current zipplex t zeros. On the south coast we rarely go above 6 oz casting weight so what ya reckon. I used to 230 regularly on grass so fishing range is about 130 -150 max depending on conditions etc. Still hooked on the T900 is this your choice?

[@deanbooker3314]

Hi mate, no rod in the world comes close to the t900 in my eyes, but if the 900 wasn't avaliable I'd be happy using this akois rod, very powerful with amazing tip for fishing

[@SuperSweetok]

Funny as was looking for reviews on Akios rods just last night..( creed and GTR) As looking for replacements for my centurys..as had enough of their shyte spiggots. That CBR looks ideal

[@glenntoulouse5710]

How does it compare in ease of use to the T900 ?

[@deanbooker3314]

Nothing beats the t900 😊

[@trancegsi]

This is a hybrid carbon tip, super thin tad stiffer than the GTR tip. 420 is a little under 14ft!! 😂

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

Whats the reel your using

[@deanbooker3314]

Fathom 15 sd

[@tomjenkinson8958]

Saw one explode at the EOBC while being demonstrated was very embarrassing Mr Akios.

[@grahamgodfrey9913]

It was a prototype travel beach rod that failed during the EOBC. An over zealous tip pull down by one of the testing team killed it 🫣 though modifications are underway 😎
