The Illex Night Shadows B 220 XXH La Brute is an exceptionally powerful baitcasting rod, specially designed for the use of big lures and the control of big predators in freshwater. With a length of 221 cm and a weight of 178.5 g, this extra-fast-action rod is capable of casting lures weighing up to 200 g, offering total control in the most demanding battles. Whether you're using hard swimbaits like the Dowzswimmer 220 SF, soft swimbaits such as the Dunkle 7 and 9", heavy spinnerbaits like the Crusher 35g or large soft lures such as the Dexter Shad and Dexter Eel, this rod is designed to meet the needs of extreme fishing. Its rugged structure and ultra-powerful action guarantee effective hook-ups and a secure grip on the most combative fish. The spiral construction of the rings prevents the braid from touching the blank, improving line sensitivity and durability when casting and fighting. Capable of supporting lines from 20 to 40 lbs, this rod is perfectly suited to stalking the biggest pike, catfish or other large freshwater predators. The NIGHT SHADOWS B 220 XXH La Brute features FUJI ALCONITE 'K' guides, which eliminate any risk of tangling when casting, and a FUJI ACS reel seat for optimum ergonomics, guaranteeing maximum comfort even during the longest and most intense fishing sessions. Supplied with a screen-printed cover, this rod is the essential choice for anglers looking for power and precision to tackle the most extreme freshwater conditions.
