Balzer Shirasu Heavy Crank Shad Spinning Rod 2.74m 28–77g

Balzer Shirasu Heavy Crank Shad Spinning Rod 2.74m — Confident Control for Pike and Zander

Built for anglers who target predators with larger lures, the Balzer Shirasu Heavy Crank Shad is a two-piece spinning rod that combines a stiff, responsive action with all-day fishing comfort.

Fast, Decisive Hooksets

The rod's firm, progressive action transmits bites clearly and allows you to drive the hook home even at distance. When pike run hard or shake their heads, the blank's controlled flex keeps pressure consistent, reducing the risk of losing fish during the fight.

Lightweight Build for Long Sessions

At 195 g, this 2.74 m rod remains comfortable through hours of active lure work. The ergonomic Duplon handle absorbs vibration and provides a secure, non-slip grip in wet conditions — whether you're casting rubber shads, crankbaits, or metal lures from a boat or the bank.
