Versatile 25lb Boat Rod
The Adrenalin Medium 400 sits in a useful middle ground between lighter inshore tackle and Balzer's heavier Adrenalin boat rods.
Its 25lb / 11.3kg rating provides plenty of strength for targeting good-sized fish without requiring the substantially heavier tackle of a 35lb or 65lb setup.
This makes it a strong choice as an all-round boat rod for regular New Zealand fishing.
120–400g Casting Range
With a 120–400g casting weight, the rod can handle a broad selection of jigs, sinkers and natural bait rigs.
The range provides useful flexibility when changing water depth, current strength or fishing technique throughout the day.
Whether you're jigging or fishing natural baits, the Medium 400 is designed to cover a wide range of everyday boat-fishing situations.
40Ton IM-12 Carbon Blank
The rod is constructed from premium 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre, providing the strength needed for heavier fishing while keeping overall weight to just 354g.
The responsive carbon construction also helps transmit bites and lure movement through the blank while retaining the backbone required when fighting larger fish.
Designed for Overhead Reels
The Adrenalin Medium 400 is purpose-built for overhead reels, with its reel seat, handle and guide configuration matched to this style of fishing.
Small Low Rider guides keep the line running close to the blank and complement the rod's overhead-reel configuration.
For anglers who prefer a spinning reel, the Adrenalin Medium Spin 400 is the equivalent spin-oriented option.
Ideal for NZ Boat Fishing
The combination of 25lb power and a 120–400g weight range makes this a particularly versatile rod for NZ conditions.
It's well suited to targeting species such as snapper and tarakihi, while retaining enough versatility for a range of other boat-fishing applications.
