ARTICO APACHE TROLLING CHAIR 130 LBS

... the chair trolling Apache has arrived

MADE IN ITALY ROD Designed specifically for combat with the largest tuna in the ocean. A powerful and reliable tool made with the best components on the market.

The structure of the blank (made of Dynanotex carbon) is thin and light. When pulling the prey, the transfer of power occurs in a distributed mode: the upper part of the rod is rapid and efficient, precisely to accompany the fast departures of the fish, thus avoiding breakage of the leaders. The lower part of the stem, however, gives power and defines control of the prey during the recovery phase. For these reasons, Apaches are the most suitable rods for fighting the most powerful marine predators using light weight monofilaments. The rod is made in a length of 2.30 metres, which in our opinion is the most suitable for this type of fishing, but being an artisanal product made in Italy, we can modify the length at the customer's request.

Handle we opted for a long curved handle produced by AFTCO, model UNIBUTT UB6C from 130 lbs to unlimited

Roller We opted for Made in Italy rollers from the AB1 series, big foot model. The largest, most resistant and lightest on the market. These rollers have the ability to flex their axis, best following the flexion of the barrel during the fight

Cosmetics the product is handcrafted and made in Italy so we can make any type of fret or design on request. Tell us your colors and we will embroider the design on your cane

Grip All 130lbs are finished with a leather covered, hand stitched grip. Tell us your skin color and we will satisfy you

More than a rod, the chair is a true masterpiece.

The Dynanotex

With the Apache series we enter the world of the top of the ARTICO range, a series of tools where high technological skills, the most cutting-edge materials and the attention to detail typical of excellent Made in Italy craftsmanship are excellently mixed. When we talk about top-of-the-range products at ARTICO, the technology has only one name: Dynanotex. Dynanotex is a high modulus PrePreg carbon fabric (the carbon is the one of Ferrari origin used for F1) which is treated and overlaid in a completely different way compared to traditional processes. Carbon fabrics are monodirectional, the vast majority of companies overlap the fibers of the fabric in a longitudinal and transversal position to increase resistance to crushing and reactivity. ARTICO also adds angled insertions to this laying of the fibers, thus managing to give everyone the countless gear actions thus differentiate the models based on specific fishing needs. Thanks to this particular process, Dynanotex fabrics are obtained which allow the creation of blanks without "spine", i.e. blanks which always provide optimized working curves. The most obvious advantages obtained from this process are:

1) Less deterioration of fabrics, approximately 30% less than traditional ones

2) Greater resistance to efforts, approximately 40% more

3) Greater maneuverability

4) Greater reactivity of the tool, over 50% more than those currently on the market

Having a blank without a thorn available not only gives the rod correct action, but it will also be able to follow and absorb any twist imposed by the escaping fish, effectively eliminating the possibility of breaking the blank itself. ARTICO guarantees Dynanotex shells for 20 years! Trying these tools you will be surprised by their "reactivity", when subjected to traction they bend evenly but quickly return to their original position (straight), thus facilitating the recovery of large prey.

Cosmetics

Technology and craftsmanship are certainly strong points of ARTICO, but as good Italians the aesthetic aspect is also not underestimated. In addition to the technical characteristics, there are aesthetic and functional ones: the entire rod is customizable! Then you can also silk-screen your name or whatever you want on your tool. Finally, the ligatures can also be customised, in short: interno makes the Apaches making them unique, you will hardly find another fisherman with a rod like yours and if you silk-screen your name on it, that rod will be yours alone.
