The design and manufacturing process of Albacore reels stems from a collaborative effort involving all of the staff at Alutecnos. A commitent aimed not only at improving the technological content, but also at paying attention to design. The result is a product that stands out for aesthetic and technical aspects with outstanding attention to details. Such details include the infinite "antireverse" system applied to trolling reel for the first time. The frontal cam and lock release button for placing the automatically rearming gear lever into "free" or "full" mode. Five bearings and gears made from tempered stainless steel guarantee further resistance from corrosion. The system for anchoring the reel to the rod is robust and reliable using four anchor screws. The drag washer is made from the latest carbon composite and is appropiately protected to ensure smooth and consistent use during the most intense battles, the occurrence of "stick-slip" is virtually eliminated.
The family of Albacore reels is getting bigger. Easily recognizable thanks to the blue colour of the handle and drag release button, the 20 lbs Veloce reels keep unchanged all the characteristics that made them famous in the standard version and differ only for the ratio which in this case is 6,2:1 (instead od 4:1), so as to allow an easy and swift retrieving of line.
Small, powerful, elegant and immediately recognizable, this is the synthesis of the new Albacore 12 and 20 Gorilla reels. With its MULTI DRAG DISC that can be set over 40 lbs, a guaranteed free-spool, and a 4,4:1 ratio that proves to be perfect with this high power, it will be possible to lie in wait for and pull quickly on board preys that otherwise with conventional reels would be very difficult if not impossible to catch. Expressly studied for extreme deep-jigging, it stands out not only for its powerful and functional performance, but also for its elegant look, silver anodizing, drag release button and red coloured handle. Albacore 12 and 20 “Gorilla” reels, once more a "masterpiece for the art of fishing" by Alutecnos.
