Versatile Softbait & Jigging Performance

The Adrenalin Light 135 is designed to handle a broad range of artificial lure techniques.

Its 30–135g rating provides the versatility to fish everything from heavier softbait presentations through to jigs and other artificial lures, making it particularly useful when conditions, depth or current require anglers to change lure weights.

At 2.40m, the rod also provides useful leverage for casting when extra distance is required.

Flexible Tip for Lure Control

While the IM-12 carbon blank provides the power required for heavier lure fishing, the Adrenalin Light 135 features a more flexible tip section.

This helps provide precise lure guidance and a degree of cushioning when a fish is hooked, helping reduce the likelihood of pulled hooks during the fight.

It's a useful combination for softbait fishing, where maintaining lure control and detecting changes in lure movement can be particularly important.

40Ton IM-12 Carbon Blank

The rod is manufactured from premium 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre, giving the Adrenalin Light its combination of responsiveness, strength and relatively low weight.

At 247g, it remains manageable for active fishing despite its powerful 30–135g casting range.

Great for Kayak & Boat Fishing

The 2.40m length and 2-piece construction make the Adrenalin Light 135 a particularly versatile option for fishing from kayaks and boats.

Its combination of casting ability and heavier lure capacity gives anglers the flexibility to target fish using softbaits or jigs without needing to carry several specialised rods.

For a matched Balzer setup, it pairs particularly well with the Balzer Alegra ACE spinning reel range.
