The spinning rod Showtime Blockbuster S-225XH is a rod specially designed for pike fishing with medium to large size lures. It is considered a reference spinning rod pike for efficiently using lures of medium to large size from 12 to 18cm, soft or hard.
Despite its Extra Heavy power, this pike rod is distinguished by its remarkable lightness. This technical balance allows for long days of fishing without excessive fatigue, easy casting and animation of bulky lures, and good management of fights with the largest pikes.
This feature makes it a formidable weapon for both open areas (large lakes, reservoirs) and cluttered edges (weed beds, submerged wood, water lilies).
With its 2.25m, the Blockbuster S-225XH offers an ideal compromise between casting distance and handling:
- Advantage for distant casting: prospect effectively the vast expanses of water and reach the remote spots where large pikes are located.
- Preserved maneuverability: unlike extra-long canes, this length does not hinder the animation of lures or maneuvers in float tube or boat.
- Animation comfort: the rod remains perfectly balanced to work your jerkbaits, swimbaits, and other demanding hard lures.
The quick progressive tip is one of the signatures of this spinning rod:
- Progressiveness: the curvature is distributed harmoniously on the blank during the fight, absorbing the violent rushes of the pike while maintaining a constant pressure.
- Tip speed: direct sensation and optimal transmission of lure vibrations. You feel every tail stroke, every obstacle, every touch.
- Resonance: instantly detect changes in background, following fish and attacks, even the most subtle ones.
This action allows for precise animation of lures and early detection of touches, significantly increasing your chances of success.
The Showtime Blockbuster is equipped with Fuji K Alconite single and double leg rings, an undeniable reference in terms of quality. Alconite is an ultra-smooth material that reduces the friction of the braid, improves casting distances and preserves your line.
The reel seat with ratchet closure ensures secure holding of your reel, without risk of accidental loosening during fishing action or transport.
The Toray carbon blank attests to the quality construction of this rod, a Japanese manufacturer recognized worldwide for its high-performance carbon fibers, used by the most prestigious brands of canes.
