The spinning rod Illex Pepper X5 S 2452 MH-H Hot Pepper is designed for anglers looking for genuine versatility when fishing with modern lures. Built for intensive sessions, it is equally at home casting from the shore or fishing from a boat, offering that rare sense of total control you want when every movement of the lure matters.
Developed by Gael Even, the Pepper X5 S 2452 MH-H Hot Pepper was designed to excel with surface lures, jerkbait minnows, longbill minnows and sub-surface baits. It also performs exceptionally well when targeting sea bass, pike and zander with Nitro Shad 120 and 150 lures. Its 2.45 m length offers a real advantage in casting distance and line control, while retaining a smooth, light and perfectly balanced action.
The X5 high-modulus blank with multi-directional fibres delivers exceptional sensitivity, lightness and power reserve. Out on the water, this means you can feel the lure working more clearly, impart movement with greater precision and still have power in reserve when playing a fish. The FUJI SiC K-R guides help the line flow smoothly and make fishing more comfortable, while the ergonomic VSS reel seat provides a natural grip during long days on the water.
This rod really comes into its own when you need to switch between quickly covering water, imparting sharp movements and precisely controlling your lure, in fresh water or at sea. Whether targeting sea bass, pike or zander, it lets you make the most of the hard and soft lures listed in the product specifications, with a reassuring combination of controlled responsiveness and confidence when the fight intensifies.
