Balzer Colonel Classic Spinner Trout Lure – Treble Hook

The Balzer Colonel Classic Spinner is a proven inline spinner designed for targeting trout and other predatory freshwater fish with a combination of flash, vibration and reliable rotation.

The Colonel design has been refined over decades, retaining the classic blade shapes and colour patterns that have made these spinners a long-standing part of the Balzer lure range.

A specially developed rotating bail system allows the spinner blade to begin working with minimal movement, making the lure effective even on slower retrieves and helping maintain consistent action through changing currents.

Fast-Starting Spinner Action

A good spinner needs to begin working immediately rather than requiring a fast retrieve to get the blade moving.

Balzer's redesigned rotating bail system helps the Colonel blade start rotating from even a light pull, creating vibration and flash as soon as the lure begins moving through the water.

This is particularly useful when fishing slower retrieves or moving water, where maintaining consistent blade action can make a significant difference.

Built for Trout

The Colonel Classic is particularly well suited to trout spinning, providing the visual flash and vibration that make inline spinners such effective searching lures.

Cast it across pools, along current seams, around drop-offs or across lake margins and vary your retrieve speed until you find what the fish respond to.

Tiger Steel Treble Hook

Each Colonel Classic Spinner is fitted with a needle-sharp Tiger Steel carbon treble hook.

The sharp hook points are designed for reliable penetration when a fish strikes, while the corrosion-resistant construction provides durability for regular fishing.

High-Grade Brass Construction

The lure's body and rotating components are manufactured from high-grade brass, providing strength and durability without the rust issues associated with lower-quality materials.

The robust construction also helps the spinner maintain its shape and action after repeated use.

Proven Classic Design

The Colonel has been part of Balzer's lure range for many years, and its fundamental design has required little change.

For New Zealand anglers, it's a straightforward and proven lure style for targeting trout in rivers, streams and lakes.
