Balzer Diabolo X Stellfisch — 8 m Deadbait Pike Rod Built for Long-Range Float Ledgering

The Balzer Diabolo X Stellfisch is a purpose-built telescopic (Stell = stationary/float ledgering) pike deadbait rod, combining an impressive 8 m reach with a surprisingly light and slender blank.

Reach More Water Without Sacrificing Handling

At 8 m (800 cm), this rod lets you present deadbaits well beyond the margins and into otherwise inaccessible pike holding spots. Despite the length, the slim, lightweight blank keeps fatigue to a minimum during long sessions, and the non-slip "RoughGrip" handle ensures a confident, secure hold in all weather conditions.

Designed to Protect Your Line and Your Catch

The oversized SIC (Silicon Carbide) tip ring is a deliberate design choice: it prevents the leader or main line from fretting against the ring strut during the extended pauses typical of float-ledgering, extending line life and reducing the risk of unexpected breakage at the critical moment.
