Balzer Shirasu Hardmono Stinger Rig #8 3.5cm

Balzer Shirasu Hardmono Stinger Rig #8 — Discreet Hook-Up Power for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Hardmono Stinger Rig delivers a reliable secondary hook point for soft-bait presentations targeting pike and zander, packaged in a low-visibility hardmono (hard monofilament) connection that blends naturally with any shad.

Sharp Treble Hook Where It Counts

The rig is fitted with a sturdy, needle-sharp treble hook that anchors firmly in the hard jaws of predatory fish. By positioning the treble in the flank of a soft-bait shad, short-striking pike and zander are converted into landed fish — without interfering with the lure's natural action.

Hardmono Leader for a Natural Presentation

Unlike wire stingers that can stiffen a soft bait, the hardmono stinger line keeps the rig flexible and nearly invisible in clear water. The material resists abrasion from teeth and structure while maintaining just enough rigidity to hold the treble in position on the shad's body.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants include 3 stinger rigs per pack and share the same quick-change clip system for fast attachment to any jig head. Choose the size that matches your soft-bait length:

• #8 / 3.5 cm — ideal for small shads (roughly 7–10 cm); current product; well suited to zander fishing with compact finesse lures

• #6 / 5.5 cm — mid-range option for shads around 10–14 cm; a versatile all-rounder for both pike and zander

• #4 / 7.5 cm — larger treble for big shads (14 cm+); targets trophy pike where a strong hook hold in a wide mouth is essential
