Alutecnos guarantees the shipment in a maximum of 15 days from the moment of receipt of the TT wire transfer. If you have ordered a custom product, the time needed to make the assembly and shipment can increase.

WARNING: times just mentioned may vary depending on the production loads.

The cost of shipping may vary based on the weight and volume of the product. The exact shipping cost will be calculated and added directly to the checkout when you enter the destination Country.

To ensure optimal service, Alutecnos does not provide direct sales to customers living in the Americas. That’s why we rely on our warehouse Pandora Holding, which you can contact at sales@bluefinusa.com

The shipping for a custom reel requires more time than a standard reel, as it must be assembled according to your requirements. Our staff will contact you after you have sent the request form and will inform you about the necessary timing that may vary depending on the period in which you made the order.

Absolutely not! To give colour to the product, we use the anodizing process. Thus, being a galvanic treatment, is influenced by various factors such as temperature and humidity. Therefore different shades of color are intrinsic to the process itself and considered normal.

WARNING: The colours on this site are purely indicative.

No, the custom reel has the same cost as a standard reel.

Sure! Both reel seats and the rod butts can be ordered with custom colors, specifically: 1 color for the butt or reel seat and 1 color for the rings (choice among those available in the range). From the photogallery in the related product sheets you can see what are thealternatives to standard colors and choose the one you prefer.

Alutecnos provides a standard series color for each product:

• Silver for Gorilla reels, Albacore Veloce and Gorilla rods

• Gold for Albacore reels, stand-up and trolling rods, belts and reeds components.

This is why, if you have not selected the color before adding the product to the cart, our systems add to the order the color of the series expected.

Not yet. In fact, to avoid that it spins around on the spool (giving the impression that there is a malfunction of the drag disc), check that you have done one of the following tasks:

• start the filling with 20/30 meters of thin nylon, and only after this operation insert the braided line;

OR

• after the first 3 rounds of braided line, stop it on the spool with cloth tape or with a good adhesive tape.

If you don’t have any news about the reel you sent us it means that we can’t trace the owner because you did not enter your contact details in the box of your reel.

So we ask you to contact us to inform us of your details.

If you have not solved the problem related to your reel, probably our technicians have not received any indication of the type of maintenance to be done. As in practice, in these cases we proceed with an ordinary maintenance.
For this reason we recommend you to fill out the form in the Maintenance section describing in more details the problem that needs to be solved.

You can find your reel badge number engraved with laser computer graphics on the right side plate.
Example of reel badge numbers:

The standard reel is always produced in the right version because the left version has a very minor demand among our customers. So to create it we need to perform different processes that go outside the normal production process.

The line capacity of our reels are tested by filling directly each reel. The values you can see on each product sheet refer to the Alutecnos wires (Orange and 8X Braided Line) available for the Wire section.
