The Illex Pepper X5 S 205 UL Micro Jig Special is the ultimate tool for lovers of ultra-light fishing and finesse. With a length of 205 cm, a featherweight of 88.5 g and a regular fast action, this 1+1 strand rod is specifically designed for the use of mini jigs, light lead heads, small swimming fish and wobbling or spinning spoons. Faster and more responsive than its predecessor, it offers enhanced performance for all soft lure power finesse techniques such as drop shot, neko rig, split rig, wacky rig and light carolina rig. The full tip of the PEPPER S 205 UL Micro Jig Special ensures exceptional tip sensitivity, allowing you to feel the slightest vibration and pick up the most subtle bites. Its progressive action gives you a perfect feel for the bottom and an immediate response to fish attacks. This extra nervousness also makes this model particularly at ease with small minnow-type swimming fish, offering precise and effective animation. Made from the top-of-the-range X5 blank, this rod uses a pre-impregnated mat process with the carbon fibres oriented at three angles, guaranteeing exceptional lightness, amplified resonance and controlled power. These features make it both a responsive and high-performance rod, ideal for maximizing your fishing pleasure and results in the field. The Illex Pepper X5 S 205 UL Micro Jig Special is fitted with thinner and lighter FUJI TORZITE TITANIUM 'K' guides, optimizing the transmission of feel to the blank, improving casting distances and extending line life. These rings also reduce the risk of tangling when casting, whatever the conditions encountered. Supplied with a screen-printed cover and a rigid cordura protective tube, this rod is a must-have choice for anglers looking for precision, sensitivity and versatility in ultra-light lure fishing.
