Rapala Shadow Blade Spinning Rod 2.74m 14–42g

Rapala Shadow Blade — Fast, Balanced Action for Versatile Spinning

The Rapala Shadow Blade 274 cm MH combines a high-modulus carbon blank with modern fast action to deliver exceptional sensitivity and casting performance for anglers who want one rod to cover multiple techniques.

Precision Engineering for Multiple Techniques

The tapered blank design results from rigorous testing to achieve a fast yet balanced action that handles lures from 14 to 42 g with confidence. The aluminum blank connector transmits vibrations directly to your fingertips, giving you instant feedback when a pike strikes or a perch taps your jig. At just 191 g, this 274 cm rod offers all-day comfort without sacrificing power.

Tangle-Free Casting with Fuji Components

Fuji O Concept guides ensure smooth line flow and reduce tangles, even with braided lines. The Fuji VSS reel seat provides a secure, lightweight platform for your reel, while the 4-axis carbon foregrip enhances grip and reduces overall weight. These premium components deliver reliability cast after cast.
