Illex The Artist X5 B 215 MH Black Sword

The 1+1 THE ARTIST X5 B 215 MH BLACK SWORD baitcasting rod was specifically designed for anglers who love “versatile” fishing. From light Texas rigs to all types of metal lures and plug lures, it handles it all! We’ve combined lightness, sensitivity, power, and balance. Its 2.15-meter length, fast action, short butt section, and responsive feel allow it to excel in the art of precise and fast fishing—whether from a boat, a float tube, or the shore. The BLACK SWORD is ideal for intensive use with minnow-style lures: stickbaits such as the BONNIE 95 and 107; minnow jerkbaits such as the MAGSQUAD 128 SP, SQUAD MINNOW 95 SP, RV MINNOW 110 SP, and ARNAUD 100 and 110 F; wirebaits such as the CRUSHER JG and BLADE BLASTER;... and rubber jigs like our JUNGLE BLASTER in 10 and 14g. The X5 carbon blank provides optimal feedback on the lure’s movement during precision fishing—particularly along edges and other specific spots—and allows you to perfectly detect bites deep within structures to flush out large perch, largemouth bass, zander, and pike. It is constructed from the renowned, top-of-the-line X5 blank, which utilizes a prepreg process featuring carbon fiber orientation at three different angles. This THE ARTIST model offers enhanced lightness, responsiveness, and power for tenfold the enjoyment and effectiveness. It is equipped with FUJI TORZITE TITANIUM 'K' series guides. Thinner and lighter, these guides ensure optimal transmission of feedback to the blank, maximize casting distance and line life, and eliminate any risk of line tangling in the guides during casts, regardless of conditions. It comes with a screen-printed cover and a rigid Cordura protective tube.
