The Balzer Shirasu IM-12 Trout Collector Light Rod is a lightweight, highly sensitive spinning rod designed for anglers who enjoy fishing with small lures, rubber worms and spoons. Built around a responsive 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre blank, this light-action rod is designed to transmit subtle movements and bites while giving lightweight lures plenty of action.
With a 0.8β6g casting range and a weight of just 90β105g, the Trout Collector Light is a great choice when finesse, sensitivity and precise lure control are important.
Sensitive 40Ton IM-12 Carbon Blank
The high-modulus 40Ton IM-12 carbon fibre blank provides a combination of low weight, responsiveness and sensitivity. The super-sensitive tip helps bring small lures to life, allowing the angler to detect subtle movements and register light bites.
The rod is particularly suited to rubber worms, small spoons and other ultra-light lures, making it an excellent option for finesse-style trout fishing.
Designed for Ultra-Light Lure Fishing
The 0.8β6g casting weight is designed around lightweight lure presentations where a sensitive rod can make a real difference. The responsive tip gives small lures extra movement while helping the angler maintain control throughout the retrieve.
The rod is designed for use with spinning reels and is also equipped with Titanium SIC guides, which are suitable for use with braided fishing lines.
Precision Components
The Shirasu IM-12 Trout Collector Light features quality components throughout, including a FUJI screw reel seat, precision-ground tongue-and-groove joints and Vector Angle Guides.
The ergonomic Duplon handle keeps the rod comfortable and lightweight, while the removable hook holder provides a convenient place to secure your lure between casts.
