Presentation
Built in 4 equal sections of 67 centimeters each, for a total length of 2.40 meters, once assembled, the Prism X Travel power spin rod from Fox Rage is predestined mainly for fishing from the shore. Aesthetically, the rod is made at its simplest, with a black varnished blank and a black handle.
However, small details, such as the logo on the bottom of the heel and that same logo so recognizable, the R of Fox Rage, present in low-relief on the foam of the handle, make a rather classy and detailed aspect to the whole. The handle is comfortable in the hand and well sized for the length of the rod.
With its power of 15-50 grams, its length and its handle, this rod is pleasant to use for animations of lures rod high, with the techniques of fishing with soft lures in head.
The finish of this Prism X Travel is beautiful, as well as the quality of the joints, a sensitive point on this kind of rod, because a bad machining completely breaks the action of a rod.
The Prism X Travel range is composed of two other rods, the first one with a power of 15-35 grams and the second one of 30-100 grams, for a length of 2.40 meters.
This variety allows you to refine your choice according to the desired use. I can imagine the 15-35 for pike-perch fishing, the 15-50 for heavier pike-perch, bass and peacock bass fishing. And finally, the 30-100, for pike fishing.
To accompany him
A 3000 size spinning reel is a good complement to balance this rod, but a lightweight 4000 size reel is also an option.
My opinion
Priced at 137.99 euros, this rod offers good value for money. Its generalist action gives it a lot of versatility, but prevents it from excelling in any one area.
For fishing from the shore, in the sea and in fresh water, on an occasional basis, it is a good investment. For intense use, especially at sea, I advise you to choose other brands, better adapted in this field.
Regardless, the Prism X series is a good rod series for spotty to moderate freshwater fishing.
