Balzer Matze Koch MK Zanderscheuche Crankbait 13cm 1.4m 21g

Balzer Matze Koch MK Zanderscheuche Crankbait — Suspending Wobbler Built for Zander

The MK Zanderscheuche ("zander scarecrow") is a 13 cm, 21 g suspending crankbait designed by Matze Koch specifically for targeting zander and other predators in slow, deliberate presentations — day or night.

Suspending Action That Triggers Hesitant Biters

The suspending (neutrally buoyant) swimming action is the Zanderscheuche's core advantage. On a stop-and-go or twitch-and-pause retrieve, the lure hangs motionless in the water column during each pause — precisely the moment when following zander commit. You can crank it steadily, twitch it aggressively, or work it ultra-slowly; all three presentations are effective depending on the fish's mood.

Steel-Ball Rattle and Cast & Balance System

Built-in steel balls serve two purposes: their audible rattle stimulates the lateral line of zander — especially valuable in low-visibility or night fishing over rocky structure where zander hunt under cover of darkness. The same steel-ball Cast & Balance System shifts weight during the cast for noticeably longer distances, even into a crosswind or headwind.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 13 cm length, 21 g weight, 1.4 m running depth, suspending action, and steel-ball rattle. The only difference between them is colour. Choose the colour that best suits your water clarity and target species:

• Black Albino — high-contrast silhouette; effective in dark or coloured water and at night

• Fireshark — bright, warm tones; good in stained water or overcast conditions

• Mai Tai — mixed natural/vivid finish; versatile all-round option

• Metallica — metallic flash finish; strong in clear water with good light

• Zander — natural zander/baitfish pattern; confident choice wherever zander are the target

• Barsch — perch-pattern colouration; also effective for perch as a secondary target

• Grundel — goby-inspired finish; well-suited to hard-bottom venues where gobies are a natural forage
