Description

Eclipse's Balor 130 is a 130 mm, 20 g sinking pencil, the long-casting big brother in the Balor lineup, rigged with a #6 hook and #3 split ring. Its slim body and rearward weight balance give it class-leading casting distance, reaching distant structure and current edges while still working the surface slowly.

A natural, roll-dominant action excels when fish are hesitant to strike, covering typical anchovy and juvenile mullet patterns as well as the trickier halfbeak pattern of autumn and the long ragworm pattern of deep winter; faster retrieves add the occasional irregular tail-slide to trigger following seabass.

Information

The swimming action

Balor sinking pencils sit rear-weighted so they lift toward the surface even at a slow retrieve, delivering a roll-dominant slide with the tail beat and dart intensity varying by size and retrieve speed. Slowing the retrieve favours a smoother roll; speeding up adds an irregular tail-slide or pattering swing.

When to throw it

Suited to a wide range of seabass fields where a slim, naturally-swimming pencil is wanted over an aggressive topwater, they cover typical sardine, anchovy and juvenile mullet patterns as well as trickier seasonal patterns like halfbeak in autumn and ragworm in deep winter.

How to work it

Fish them on a slow, steady retrieve for the natural roll-dominant action, or bump the pace to introduce an irregular tail-slide that can trigger a following, hesitant fish into striking. Raising the rod tip lets the smaller sizes wake right on the surface.

The setup it likes

Match the rod power to the model: a light-to-medium seabass spinning rod for the 65 and 90, stepping up to medium-heavy for the 130, with a 2500-3000 reel, PE0.6-1 braid and a 10-16 lb fluorocarbon leader. Check the split ring and hook point regularly, particularly on the smaller 65 and 90 sizes where light wire is used to keep the lure balanced for its slow-lift action.
