ILLEX PEPPER X5 S 2402 ML-M STRIPES OPS is a two-piece rod designed for catching large perch and pike with lighter techniques. The fast action on the blade allows you to accurately feel how your bait moves and catch every twitch and vibration from chasing fish. 2.40 m is the ideal length for casting at a distance from land or boat and provides excellent line control as well as clean and precise bites. The rod is primarily designed for intensive spin fishing with straight casts, but the action is also well suited for drop shotting, Carolina rigs and fishing on drops. For linear fishing with soft baits, try MAGIC SLIM SHAD 3, 4 and 5 or MAGIC Z SHAD 80 and 105 on jig heads from 3.5g to 14g, NITRO 65 or 90 on a NITRO SHAD HEAD from 3.5g to 14g. For drop shotting with weights from 5 to 14g, try SCISSOR COMB 3 and 3.8, JUGGPOD 3 and 3.6 or MAGIC MAY FLY 2.6. For Carolina rigs with weights from 3.5 to 14g, try MAGIC CRAW 50 and 60, SCISSOR COMB 3 and 3.8, JUGGPOD 3 and 3.6. For drop or weightless fishing we recommend SWING TAIL 4 and 5. Anglers who like to target fry during summer and autumn with wobblers should try our CHUBBY series or MAGIC CRANK 40 SR. We also recommend SQUIRREL lures from 61 to 76, TWITCH FLESH lures from 61 to 75, BATTLE MINNOW 80 and STREAM RIPPER 60 and 75. PEPPER X5 S 2402 ML-M STRIPES OPS is an excellent rod for targeting perch at the end of the season with a DERACOUP from 7 to 21g. It is also very good as a rod for fishing for trout at high altitude on lakes with a NATIVE SPOON from 5 to 14g. The rod is built on top quality new X5 blades that use prepreg carbon fiber in three different angles to reduce weight and increase sensitivity without sacrificing power. Equipped with light and thin FUJI TORZITE TITANIUM K-rings. These rings minimize the risk of tangles, provide longer casts and help your lines last longer. VSS reel seat for optimal grip and comfort. Comes in a signature rod case and a rigid Cordura protective tube.
