Balzer Shirasu Stinger Rig #8

Balzer Shirasu Stinger Rig #8 — Reliable Hook-Up on Pike and Perch

The Balzer Shirasu 7×7 Stainless Steel Stinger Rig is a purpose-built trailer hook for soft plastic lures, combining a robust treble hook with bite-proof steel wire to keep predators pinned even after a hard strike.

Bites That Stick — Sharp Treble Hook on a 7×7 Steel Trace

The stinger is fitted with a stable, needle-sharp treble hook that bites deep into the hard jaw of pike and zander on contact. The trace itself is constructed from 7×7 stainless steel wire, giving it excellent flexibility while remaining fully resistant to the razor-edged teeth of pike — no bite-offs, no lost fish.

Easy to Rig — Quick-Change Clip for Jig Heads

A metal loop with a quick-change clip lets you attach the stinger directly to the eye of a lead jig head in seconds, then press the treble hook into the flank of your soft bait. This tangle-resistant setup keeps the rig compact during the cast and opens reliably on the take. Transport length is 3.5 cm, making size #8 the right choice for smaller soft plastics.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Stinger Rig is available in three hook sizes to match your lure and target species. Each pack contains 3 rigs.

• Size #8 — transport length 3.5 cm; ideal for small soft baits (5–9 cm); targets zander in rivers and canals, and smaller pike; pairs well with 10–20 g jig heads

• Size #6 — transport length 5.5 cm; versatile all-round size for medium soft baits (9–14 cm); suits zander and pike in open water

• Size #4 — transport length 7.5 cm; designed for large shads and swimbaits (14 cm+); targets big pike in lakes and large rivers
