Balzer Shirasu IM-12 Pro Staff Ultra Micro Spinning Rod 1.8m 0.5–3g

Balzer Shirasu IM-12 Pro Staff Ultra Micro Spinning Rod — Pinpoint Sensitivity for Micro Lure Fishing

Built for anglers who demand feel over force, the Balzer Shirasu IM-12 Pro Staff Ultra Micro is a 1.80 m spoon rod that transforms every nudge from a trout or perch into a thrilling signal. Its ultra-light 0.5–3 g casting range makes it a precision tool for the smallest presentations.

High-Modulus IM-12 Carbon Blank

The blank is constructed from High Modulus IM-12 (Intermediate Modulus 12) carbon, delivering an exceptionally stiff yet sensitive tip action. At just 86 g, the rod disappears in your hand during long sessions, while its balanced progressive taper lets small fish punch well above their weight in the fight.

Pro-Grade Components Throughout

Titanium SIC (Silicon Carbide) guides keep friction to a minimum and protect light braided and fluorocarbon lines from wear. The FUJI screw reel seat locks your reel securely without adding unnecessary bulk, and the ergonomic Duplon handle absorbs vibration while staying comfortable in cold, wet conditions. Precisely ground spigot joints, sealed with epoxy at the ends, ensure a tight, wobble-free connection every time you rig up.
