Balzer 71 Grad Nord Sea Fishing Reel 760 385g 13kg 5.2:1

Balzer 71 Grad Nord Sea Fishing Reel 760 — Built for the Demanding Salt

Designed for anglers who take sea fishing seriously, the Balzer 71 Grad Nord 760 is a robust fixed-spool (spinning) reel that pairs max drag with refined mechanics — no compromises at the 71st parallel.

13 kg Drag and a Stainless Steel Axle That Won't Quit

With 13 kg of stopping power and a sturdy stainless steel main shaft, this reel is built to handle the hard runs of cod, coalfish, and other hard-fighting sea species. The finely adjustable front drag (S.D.S.) features oversized brake discs for smooth, reliable pressure through every fight.

Precision Engineering for Long Casts and Smooth Retrieves

Six precision ball bearings plus one needle bearing keep the retrieve fluid under load. The S-Stroke line-lay system distributes line evenly for longer, tangle-free casts, while the Anti-Swing System (A.S.S.) suppresses rotor oscillation for a noticeably quieter run. The Quick-Stop System (Q.S.S.) halts the rotor instantly when you need it, and the anti-twist line roller protects your line with every turn. An aluminium long-cast spool is included alongside a spare nylon/ABS spool. The screw-in aluminium handle can be set up for left- or right-hand use.
