The Balzer Adrenalin Travel Ultra Heavy 1200 is a serious 65lb travel boat rod built for heavy deep-water fishing, large baits and powerful fish — while packing down to an exceptionally convenient 70cm transport length.
At 2.20m (7.22ft) with a massive 400–1200g casting weight, this is the heavyweight of the Adrenalin Travel range. Its 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre blank delivers the strength required for demanding offshore fishing while the four-piece construction makes it considerably easier to transport than a conventional heavy boat rod.
Designed for both overhead and electric reels, it's an excellent option for travelling anglers and serious boat fishermen targeting large fish in deep water.

Serious 65lb Boat-Rod Power
The Adrenalin Travel Ultra Heavy 1200 is designed for situations where conventional boat tackle simply isn't enough.
With a 65lb (29.5kg) rod rating and an enormous 400–1200g weight range, it provides the power required for fishing heavy tackle, substantial sinker weights and large natural baits in deep water.
The powerful blank also makes it suitable for anglers targeting large, hard-fighting saltwater species where substantial lifting power is required.
Built for Deep-Water Fishing
When fishing significant depths or strong currents, maintaining contact with the bottom can require considerably heavier weights.
The Ultra Heavy 1200 is designed specifically for these demanding situations. Its ability to handle weights up to 1200g makes it particularly useful for heavy bottom fishing and deep-water bait fishing.
Compatible with Electric Reels
The rod is designed for use with both conventional overhead reels and electric reels.
That electric-reel compatibility makes the Ultra Heavy 1200 particularly appealing for deep-water fishing, where repeatedly retrieving heavy sinkers, rigs and fish from significant depths can become demanding.
It can also be used with a fighting belt when additional leverage is required.
40Ton IM-12 Carbon Blank
Despite its substantial 65lb rating, the rod uses a premium 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre blank.
This high-modulus construction provides the strength and rigidity required for heavy fishing while keeping the complete rod to a manageable 440g.
70cm Travel Length
The major advantage over a conventional heavy boat rod is its four-piece travel construction.
The full rod measures 2.20m, yet breaks down to just 70cm, making it significantly easier to fit into luggage, vehicles and fishing gear bags.
For anglers travelling to offshore fishing destinations, it provides serious heavy-tackle capability without the transport problems associated with a long conventional boat rod.
