Illex Spinning rod Illex The Artist X5 S 230 MH-H Dark Launcher

Illex offers the The Artist X5 S 230 MH-H Dark Launcher, a powerful spinning rod designed for stalking predators from the shore or from a boat. Its versatility makes it ideal for use with a wide range of lures including Minnow jerbaits and shad swimbaits.

Its length and power offer the best compromise for fishing in flooded rivers while easily fighting the biggest pike-perch and even medium-sized catfish. Equally at home in salt water tracking sea bass, pollack and meagre between oyster beds, wrecks and other obstacles.

It's fitted with the new X5 blank, with a pre-impregnated sheet to make it light, resonant and powerful. Its rings are Fuji Torzite Titanium K, thin and light, they will optimise your casting distance and avoid the risk of tangling your line. Finally, the VSS reel provides extra comfort when casting as well as a superb grip.

The rod comes with a screen-printed cover and a rigid cordura protection tube.
