Balzer Shirasu IM-8 Trout Collector 3 – Ultra Light Trout Rod | 0.4-3g
The Balzer Shirasu IM-8 Trout Collector 3 is a specialist ultra-light spinning rod developed with Balzer's Trout Attack Pro Staff Team for anglers who enjoy fishing tiny lures and softbaits for trout.
At just 74g, this exceptionally lightweight 2.10m (7ft) rod is designed around a 0.4–3g casting weight, making it ideal for micro spoons, rubber worms and other ultra-light trout presentations.
The highly sensitive tip allows anglers to impart subtle movements to tiny lures, with even small wrist movements being transferred to the lure. The result is an engaging and precise fishing experience where light bites and lure movement can be detected easily.
The Trout Collector 3 is particularly well matched to 5cm Trout Collector softbaits, making it an excellent choice for dedicated ultra-light trout fishing.

Designed for Ultra-Light Trout Fishing
The Trout Collector 3 was developed specifically for the fun and finesse of ultra-light trout fishing. Its sensitive tip allows tiny lures to be worked with subtle movements, giving small spoons and softbaits additional action.
With a casting range of just 0.4–3g, the rod is particularly well suited to micro presentations where a conventional spinning rod may lack the sensitivity needed to properly control the lure.
Ideal for 5cm Trout Softbaits
The 0.4–3g Trout Collector 3 is designed to pair particularly well with 5cm rubber softbaits. Its sensitive tip allows anglers to impart small movements to the bait while maintaining close control throughout the retrieve.
It's also well suited to small spoons and other ultra-light trout lures.
Lightweight IM-8 Carbon Construction
The 36Ton IM-8 carbon fibre blank provides a responsive foundation while keeping overall weight exceptionally low.
At just 74g / 81g, the Trout Collector 3 is built for anglers who want a highly lightweight setup that remains enjoyable to fish with for extended periods.
Premium Components
The rod features a FUJI screw-in reel seat, ergonomic Duplon handle and Titanium SIC guides, which are also suitable for braided lines.
Precision-ground tongue and groove joints and the PRO GUIDE CONCEPT / Vector Angle Guide system complete the rod, while the removable hook holder provides a convenient place to secure your lure between casts.
