The Balzer Edition IM-12 Travel Fly Fishing Rod is a premium, versatile fly rod designed to combine responsive performance with genuine travel convenience.
At 2.55m (8.37ft) and rated AFTMA 5/6, it's a versatile option for freshwater fly fishing, while its multi-piece travel construction packs down to just 67cm. This makes it easy to carry in a vehicle, luggage or alongside other fishing gear when travelling.
The rod is built around a high-performance Japanese 40Ton IM-12+ Diamond Carbon blank and finished with a FUJI reel seat, Portuguese natural cork handle and traditional snake guides.
A protective Cordura hard case is included, making this a complete travel-ready fly rod.

Premium IM-12+ Diamond Carbon
The Edition IM-12 Travel Fly is manufactured using a high-performance 40Ton Japanese Diamond Carbon IM-12+ blank.
The slender blank provides the responsive feel expected from a quality fly rod while allowing Balzer to maintain a refined, understated design.
It's paired with a slim ergonomic handle manufactured from Portuguese natural cork, providing a comfortable and traditional grip that complements the lightweight blank.
AFTMA 5/6 Versatility
With an AFTMA 5/6 line rating, the Edition IM-12 Travel Fly provides a versatile platform for a range of freshwater fly-fishing applications.
Rather than being built around an extremely specialised application, it's designed as a multipurpose fly rod, making it an appealing choice for anglers who want one quality travel rod capable of covering a variety of situations.
Packs Down to Just 67cm
One of the biggest advantages of the Edition IM-12 Travel Fly is its compact packed size.
The full 2.55m rod breaks down to a transport length of only 67cm, making it substantially easier to carry and store than a conventional fly rod.
This makes it particularly useful for fishing trips, road trips and travelling anglers who want to minimise the amount of space their gear occupies.
Cordura Hard Case Included
The rod is supplied in a protective Cordura hard case, helping protect the rod sections and guides while travelling or in storage.
Combined with its compact 67cm transport length, this makes the Edition IM-12 a genuinely travel-ready fly fishing setup.
