It is designed for bottom fishing for eel with heavy rigs and large natural baits, including lobworms and fish strips. The 3.30 m rod has a casting-weight range of 70–130 g, so choose your casting setup within that range for bank sessions requiring longer casts.
The LED in the tip ring glows green at rest and turns red when a bite puts tension on the rod. It needs no separate indicator or external wiring. The included CR 435 stick battery provides approximately 40 hours of illumination, so longer fishing trips may require a replacement battery.
Yes. It is specified for both freshwater and saltwater, with corrosion-resistant Titanium SIC guides. Its stated uses include eel fishing in rivers and brackish water as well as coastal conger sessions, with rigs chosen within the 70–130 g casting-weight range.
The rod is 3.30 m long and has a transport length of 168 cm. Check that your rod bag and vehicle can accommodate that length before choosing it for your bank-fishing setup.

The Balzer Aaligator Heavy 130 is a specialised eel rod from Matze Koch’s rod series. Its integrated light-emitting diode (LED) bite indicator in the tip ring changes from green to red when a bite puts tension on the rod, making bites visible during night sessions without a separate indicator or external wiring.
At 3.30 m with a casting weight of 70–130 g, this rod is intended for heavy bottom rigs and large natural baits such as lobworms or fish strips. The length and casting-weight range suit bank fishing where longer casts and enough lead to hold the bait in position are needed. The rod is designed for eel fishing in rivers, brackish water and coastal water, including coastal conger fishing, and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater.
The tip-ring LED glows green at rest and turns red under bite tension. It runs for approximately 40 hours on a CR 435 stick battery, which is included. This provides illuminated indication across several night sessions, while longer trips may require a replacement battery.
The rod has an IM-7 carbon-fibre blank and weighs 300 g. Its full Titanium SIC guide set provides low-friction line guidance, protects against abrasion and is corrosion-resistant for coastal and brackish-water use. The guides accommodate both monofilament and braided main line, with a monofilament leader for the braided setup described by the supplier.
A cork handle provides a comfortable grip during longer sessions. The rod has a transport length of 168 cm, so allow that much space in your rod bag or vehicle.
