Illex Casting Rod Illex Pepper X5 B 200 M Fast Back

The Casting rod Pepper B 200 M Fast Back is a concentrate of all their know-how Illex and all their skills for fine fishing. This new rod from the Pepper range has been specifically developed for on-board casting (boat or float tube). It's a 2m rod with a fast, powerful action. Its exceptional resonance makes this Pepper the essential rod for perch, pike-perch and black-bass anglers.

Illex designate this rod for power fishing with swimming fish such as surface lures, jerkbait minnows, shallow crankbaits or wirebaits (spinnerbaits or blade jigs). During the test phases, the Pepper X5 B 200 M Fast Back proved to be a formidable performer when used with linear soft lures, whether on light texas or simply on weightheads.

The length and speed of the blank and its sound have impressed many anglers when fishing for pike-perch and perch vertically with weightheads weighing from 10 to 21g. Its X5 blank gives it lightness, sensitivity and perfect balance. When fighting, the Pepper X5 B 200 M Fast Back takes on a parabolic curve to avoid stalling while providing maximum feel.

This new top-of-the-range X5 blank benefits from a manufacturing process using pre-impregnated webs with carbon fibre orientation at three angles. You'll also benefit from a finer and lighter anti-tangle Fuji Torzite Titanium "K" ring bar to transmit all the information to the blank and optimise casting distances and the life of your line.

It comes with a screen-printed cover and a rigid cordura protective tube.
