Overview
The X5 Series is a travel spinning rod, available in 220cm (7'3") or 190cm (6'3") lengths, that breaks down into compact sections with 4 interchangeable tips to switch between spin, float, feeder, fly and general fishing techniques.
One reviewer also noted the Lake District branding sits oddly next to manufacturing that's actually done in China.
- Two lengths: 220cm (7'3") and 190cm (6'3")
- 4 interchangeable tips
- Switch-screw handle for spin-to-fly conversion
- Includes Cordura travel case
