Dragon Pro Guide X rods are extralight and highly sensitive spinning rods designed mainly for perch and other predators. They are available in lengths from 198 to 275 cm, providing excellent versatility for a wide range of light lure techniques.
The series includes short two-piece rods (6–7 feet) perfect for light lures with maximum casting weights of 15–25 g, as well as longer spinning rods with low test weights and stronger models reaching up to 10 feet in length. This diversity allows every angler to find the perfect rod for their fishing style.
For years, the Guide Select series has earned a reputation for outstanding sensitivity, transmitting both lure action and fish bites with remarkable precision. Another signature feature of these rods is their distinctive design, especially the handle made entirely from graphite fibres.
In the blanks of the Dragon Pro Guide X rods, the following prepregs from Japanese Toray company were used:
Components used in the Pro Guide X series include:
When designing this new generation – under the slightly changed name Pro Guide X – Dragon engineers focused on maintaining the same exceptional level of sensitivity while introducing a more modern and refined design. The Resonance System integrated with a stiff graphite handle perfectly transfers acoustic waves, offering anglers an incredible feeling of connection with the lure and every fish strike – almost as if fishing with one hand directly on the blank.
Two of the three handle components are thin-walled moulders made from light and extremely stiff graphite fibres in woven carbon 3K technology. The series’ unique look is highlighted by dark red decorative wraps and semi-translucent varnish in a matching tone. The handle is finished with a cork-and-rubber blend and a black grip.
Each Dragon Pro Guide X rod is equipped with a partially exposed Fuji handle and Alconite K-series guides following the KR-CONCEPT. Compared to the previous Guide Select series, the new Pro Guide X models are significantly lighter while maintaining the same impressive durability and performance.
