Eclipse Balor 130

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.
