Overview
Not a standard length trout rod, the Shadow X is an eleven foot three weight made for Euro nymphing. It comes with SIC stripping guides, hard chrome snake guides, an anodized aluminum reel seat and a charcoal gray blank.
The long, light setup is built for Euro nymphing. The listing is unclear in places: action is medium fast in the bullets and fast in the specs, the piece count shows one in one field and four in another, and the target species reads dog.
Who it's for
Euro nymph anglers who want a long three weight with strong guides suit it. Beginners looking for a rod, reel and line combo should look elsewhere, because only the rod is listed.
Pros and cons
- Long three weight design
- Anodized aluminum reel seat
- SIC stripping guides
- Action stated two ways
- Piece count field conflicts
- Target species field is wrong
Performance notes
The eleven foot length and the three weight rating set the line this rod is built to cast. The guides are listed as a mix of stripping and snake types, which affects how smoothly line runs on the cast.
