Rapala Shadow Blade Spinning Rod 2.13m 5–21g

Rapala Shadow Blade 213cm 5–21g ML — versatile finesse power

The Shadow Blade 213cm ML combines a fast-action high-modulus carbon blank with premium Fuji components to deliver precise lure control and direct bite feedback for light-to-medium spinning techniques.

Modern fast action for multiple techniques

The tapered high-modulus carbon blank delivers a balanced fast action that loads smoothly on the cast and recovers quickly to telegraph every tap and vibration directly to your hand. The 5–21g casting weight suits soft plastics, small crankbaits, and spinner baits, while the 213cm length offers casting distance without sacrificing boat or bank manoeuvrability. At just 136g, the rod remains comfortable through long sessions.

Fuji O Concept guides and aluminium connector

Fuji O Concept line guides feature a single-foot design that reduces weight and eliminates line wrap, ensuring smooth, tangle-free casts even in cold conditions. The Fuji VSS reel seat locks your reel securely in place, and the aluminium blank connector transmits vibrations cleanly from tip to grip. A 4-axis carbon foregrip provides a firm, lightweight hold.
