It is intended for freshwater pike, zander and perch fishing on rivers and lakes. The supplier lists jigging and casting plugs or large softbaits, but provides no rated lure-weight range, so those examples do not establish a precise weight limit.
The handle is on the left. Choose this left-hand model if you want to retrieve with your left hand, rather than choosing solely according to whether you are left- or right-handed.
Yes, it regulates casting resistance and helps reduce backlash, including in wind or with lighter lures. It does not remove the need to practise thumb control and coordinate the brake setting with casting force.
The stated capacity is 200 m of 0.14 mm line. Use that figure to assess spool capacity, not as a line-strength recommendation for all three target species.
Wipe it with a damp cloth, occasionally maintain the moving parts with suitable reel oil, and store it dry and protected. The supplier specifies freshwater use, so the stainless-steel bearings and main shaft should not be read as a saltwater rating.

The Balzer Shirasu BC 8200 is a left-hand baitcasting reel for freshwater lure fishing on rivers and lakes. Its magnetic brake regulates spool resistance during the cast to help reduce backlash, particularly with light lures or in gusty wind. It supports controlled casting, but baitcasting still requires practice with thumb pressure, brake adjustment and casting force.
The supplier lists jigging for zander and perch, as well as casting plugs and large softbaits for pike. No rated lure-weight range is supplied, so these applications should not be treated as a precise casting-weight specification. The handle is on the left, making this the version for anglers who prefer to wind with their left hand.
The magnetic casting brake controls spool resistance on the cast. A separate, finely adjustable main drag releases line smoothly during the fight, helping you regulate pressure on the fish. The reel also features the Quick-Stop-System (Q.S.S.) to prevent backward rotation.
Seven stainless-steel ball bearings plus one needle bearing support smooth running. The stainless-steel main shaft provides structural support during use. The reel weighs 165 g, has a 6.5:1 gear ratio and holds 200 m of 0.14 mm line. The capacity figure describes spool storage, not a universal line recommendation for every target species.
Wipe away dirt and moisture with a damp cloth after use. Occasionally maintain moving parts, including the handle and brake system, with suitable reel oil, and store the reel dry and protected. Its stated application is freshwater fishing.
