THE ARTIST X5 S 235 M-MH BLACK ANGEL, power at the service of sensitivity
A rod developed with Gael Even
Born from a collaboration between ILLEX Pro-Staff angler Gael Even and product manager Thomas Vogels, the THE ARTIST X5 S 235 M-MH BLACK ANGEL was designed to combine three essential qualities: power, lightness and resonance.
Its 2.35 m length makes it just as effective from the bank as on a boat, offering excellent casting range and optimal control in all situations.
A soft lure specialist
The BLACK ANGEL reveals its full potential when fishing with soft lures, particularly when targeting zander in freshwater and sea bass in estuaries.
Its Extra Fast action delivers exceptional reading of lure vibrations and the most subtle bites, whether in freestyle fishing or light linear retrieves. It maintains excellent line control for maximum efficiency.
A top-of-the-range X5 blank
Built on a 1+1 architecture, the THE ARTIST X5 S 235 M-MH BLACK ANGEL preserves all the responsiveness and power of its blank while making transportation easier.
Its X5 blank is made from pre-impregnated carbon sheets with tri-axial fiber orientation. This technology delivers remarkable lightness, exceptional resonance and a significant power reserve during fights.
Premium Fuji components
The rod is fitted with FUJI Torzite Titanium KL-H series guides mounted using the K-R concept. This configuration optimizes casting distance and accuracy, facilitates knot passage and effectively reduces the risk of line tangling.
Its FUJI TVS-TK reel seat, open and V-shaped, offers excellent ergonomics and allows direct contact with the blank to further improve vibration transmission.
A premium finish
Delivered with a screen-printed sleeve and a rigid Cordura tube, the THE ARTIST X5 S 235 M-MH BLACK ANGEL features a premium finish designed to accompany the most demanding anglers on all their outings.
