Balzer 71 Grad North Power Pilk Rod — Heavy Jigging Power for Saltwater

Built for demanding conditions off the Norwegian coast and beyond, the Balzer 71 Grad North Power Pilk rod combines a stiff, high-modulus blank with quality fittings to handle heavy pirk (jigging lure) work from boats and piers in saltwater.

High-Modulus IM-12 Carbon Blank

The blank is constructed from High Modulus IM-12 carbon fibre, delivering a powerful, responsive action that transmits bottom contact and strikes clearly while driving heavy pirks through strong currents. The material keeps weight low at 195 g despite the rod's robust casting range of 100–275 g.

Quality Guides and Fittings for Saltwater Use

Titanium SIC (Silicon Carbide) ring guides are underwound for added stability and resist the corrosive effects of saltwater over long sessions. The FUJI reel seat and split Duplon handle are specifically designed for use with fixed-spool (spinning) reels, giving a secure, comfortable grip even when hands are wet or cold.
