Balzer Shirasu 100% Fluorocarbon Fishing Line 150m

The Balzer Shirasu Fluorocarbon Line is a 100% fluorocarbon fishing line designed for anglers wanting a low-visibility line for clear water and lure fishing applications.

Unlike fluorocarbon-coated lines, Shirasu is manufactured from fluorocarbon throughout. Its light-refracting properties make the line virtually invisible underwater, helping provide a more discreet presentation when targeting wary fish.

Supplied on a generous 150m spool, it can be used wherever the low visibility and characteristics of fluorocarbon are an advantage.

100% Fluorocarbon

Shirasu is manufactured from fluorocarbon throughout the entire line, rather than using a fluorocarbon coating over another line material.

This provides consistent fluorocarbon characteristics throughout the line and ensures those properties aren't dependent on a surface coating that can wear over time.

Virtually Invisible Underwater

One of the major advantages of fluorocarbon is its ability to refract light in a way that makes it considerably less visible underwater.

This can be particularly useful when fishing clear water or targeting cautious fish where a highly visible line may affect presentation.

Ideal for Trout & Lure Fishing

The low underwater visibility of Shirasu makes it particularly useful for trout fishing and other light lure applications.

It can be paired with spoons, spinners, soft plastics and other artificial lures where a discreet connection between the angler and lure is desirable.

Generous 150m Spool

Each spool contains 150 metres of 100% fluorocarbon, providing considerably more line than the short spools commonly used purely for leader material.

This gives anglers greater flexibility when setting up reels, constructing leaders or replacing line.
