Alutecnos Reels
ONE SPEED REELS
The design and manufacturing process of Albacore reel 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. All of the aluminium parts have been buffed ultrasonically cleaned, polished and anodized with a gold or silver finish. All of the parts have been machined from bars using CNC working processes and are subjected to rigoroud dimensional and quality control checks. Particular attention is paid to processing cycles and the careful selection of the highest quality of raw materials and components available. The results in a technically perfect product.
The special assembly technique permits all screws (made exclusively from stainless steel AISI 316) to be loosened even after long periods in harsh marine environments. The graphic are applied using computerised laser technology. Eleven models are available from 12 to 80/130 lbs all in right and left hand version. These and more others are the technical characteristics that make the albacore reel an incomparable and reliable product. A refined simplicity and an extreme easiness of use make it a different and highly competitive product, an item for true sportsmen and a unique purchase because an albacore reel will last forever.
TWO SPEED REELS
The Albacore "Two Speed" is nothing more than the natural technological evolution of the "One Speed" model from which it has inherited some particularly outstanding details that have never been put to use in any other two speed lever model reel. Take for example the "infinite antireverse" system or the right flange made as a single component through mechanical CNC processing and applied to all models. The system used for engaging the "Two Speed" utilizes a Two-Button gear change unit making gear changes more rapid, simple and intuitive. As with the one speed model is equipped with five protected stainless steel gear wheel and gears and a drag washer made from the latest carbon composite. These characteristics ensure long hours of fighting while mantaining sound braking characteristics and smooth reeling and eliminating the occurrence of stick-slip. All the parts have been machined from a bar of a special aluminium alloy specifically manufactured for marine environments, using CNC working processes and subject to rigorous dimensional checks. Particular attention is paid to careful selection of raw materials and components (all of the highest quality) resulting in the manufacture of a technically perfect product. All the aluminium parts have been carefully polished, ultrasonically cleaned, buffed and provided with gold or silver anodizing. Elegant graphics are stamped onto reels using laser technologies and rendering the design indelible over time. Seven models are available from 30 to 130 lbs all in right and left hand version. The 30, 50 and 80 lbs. classes are available in normal and wide versions while the model 130 lbs. class is available in standard version only.
