Illex Spinning Rod Illex Pepper X5 S 2252 M-MH Silver Ops

The spinning rod Pepper X5 S 2252 M-MH Silver Ops is the most powerful rod in the Pepper range from Illex. Gael Even himself has designed this two-strand rod specifically for fishing with both finesse and muscle.

With a length of 2m25, this Pepper benefits from a specific action thanks to its blank. The blank allows long distance casts while ensuring optimum control and feel for the lure and its strikes. The action is very fast on the lower 3/4 and softer on the last 1/4.

These characteristics make the rod a versatile lure for surface hard lures, swimming fish and soft lures mounted on weightheads weighing from 5 to 14g in a linear action or in a pull action with weightheads weighing from 7 to 21g depending on the size of the soft bait.

Gael Even wanted to make rod his rod of choice for fishing for pike-perch, perch or pike from the shore or from a boat in freshwater or at sea.

The Silver Ops is a punchy Pepper for exploratory fishing with Deracoup from 14 to 30 cm 28.5g.

The Pepper X5 S 2252 M-MH Silver Ops is made from the new top-of-the-range X5 blank, which benefits from a pre-impregnated ply process featuring carbon fibre orientation at three angles.

This Pepper is lighter, more resonant and more powerful, making fishing more enjoyable and more effective. It is fitted with a series of Fuji Torzite Titanium "K" anti-tangle rings, which are thinner and lighter to improve the transmission of bites to the blank and optimise casting distances and the life of your line. You'll also benefit from a VSS reel seat for improved grip and comfort.

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