Tips from our team of enthusiasts

The Balam 245 shines through its versatility. Available in a floating version, it allows you to prospect different water columns, from subsurface to mid-depth, thanks to the use of additional weights. Its rigid body combined with an interchangeable soft tail guarantees a pronounced vibration, enhanced by the subtle clicking of its segmentation. It's a big-fish magnet that will trigger strikes where other lures leave pike indifferent. Find the rods and reels suited for using this lure right here.

Available in a range of colours from hyper-realistic to hyper-flashy, this swimbait appeals to big bait enthusiasts and collectors alike. A must-have for any lure box dedicated to powerful and selective fishing. The Balam 245 is also available in other versions: the Balam 300 F, Balam 300 S, Balam 350 F, Balam Variant 255 and also in pack format with rod + reel + braid combo!
