Rapala Shadow Blade Spinning Rod 2.44m 3.5–14g

Rapala Shadow Blade Spinning Rod — Lightweight Versatility for Predator Fishing

The Rapala Shadow Blade is a fast-action spinning rod built for anglers who want one rod to cover a wide range of predator species and techniques — from finesse perch fishing to pike and sea trout sessions.

Direct Contact Through Every Retrieve

The high-modulus carbon blank is tapered for a fast action that keeps you in touch with your lure at all times. An aluminium blank connector channels line vibrations directly to your fingertips, so you feel every nudge, tap, and run — even when fishing slower softbaits or working a chatterbait across the bottom.

Built for All-Round Lure Work

Fuji 'O' Concept Line guides eliminate tangles on the cast and handle braid or mono with equal ease, while the Fuji VSS reel seat locks your reel firmly in place. The 4-axis carbon foregrip keeps the overall weight at just 154 g, reducing fatigue during long sessions. With a 3.5–14 g casting range, this rod handles spinners, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, rubber fish, and lighter hardbaits comfortably — covering pike, perch, zander, asp, trout, sea trout, and bass.

The Shadow Blade is available in this single configuration. It is optimised for light to medium predator fishing and all-round lure presentations.
