Balzer Shirasu Superior Pelagic Casting Rod 1.80m 40–90g

Balzer Shirasu Superior Pelagic Casting Rod — Precision Control for Predator Fishing at Depth

Built specifically for pelagic (open-water, mid-column) spinning, the Balzer Shirasu Superior Pelagic in 1.80 m / 40–90 g is a compact yet powerful baitcasting rod that keeps you connected to your lure — and your fish — at every moment.

Stiff Tip for Unwavering Lure Action

The Superior Carbon blank features a deliberately firm tip that resists unwanted flex even under heavier lures. This stiffness preserves the intended action of your bait right through the retrieve and ensures every take is transmitted cleanly to your hand — critical when fishing vertically for zander, perch, or pike at depth.

Titanium SIC Guides with Pro-Guide Concept

The Titanium SIC (Silicon Carbide) ring guides are arranged according to the Pro-Guide Concept, keeping friction and line wear to a minimum. Combined with the pearl-effect trigger reel seat and ergonomic Duplon grips, the rod is comfortable to hold through long sessions, whether jigging from a boat or casting from the bank.

Choose the Right Variant

This is the only current variant of the Shirasu Superior Pelagic. It is well suited to boat-based vertical jigging and mid-range casting with shads, jigs, or swimbaits targeting predators such as pike, zander, and large perch.
