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

Balzer Matze Koch MK Zanderscheuche Crankbait — Versatile Suspending Wobbler for Zander and Perch

The MK Zanderscheuche ("zander scarecrow") is a 13 cm, 21 g suspending crankbait designed by Matze Koch for predator fishing, equally at home chasing zander at night or working perch over structure.

Suspending Action That Triggers Hesitant Bites

On a spin-stop, the Zanderscheuche hangs motionless in the water column — a critical trigger moment when following fish commit. It can be worked at ultra-slow retrieve speeds, making it particularly effective when zander are feeding cautiously after dark over rock piles and hard bottom. A simple straight retrieve or a twitching cadence both produce results, giving you multiple presentations in a single session.

Steel Ball Rattle and Cast & Balance System

Built-in steel ball rattles send vibrations through the lateral line of predators — a decisive advantage in low-light and night fishing when visual cues are limited. The internal Cast & Balance System shifts weight during the cast for added distance and stable flight, even when fishing 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. Choose your colour to match conditions and target species:

• Barsch — natural perch pattern; ideal for perch and zander in clear to slightly coloured water with good light

• Zander — realistic zander flank colour; classic choice for zander in rivers and lakes

• Grundel — goby imitation; works well for zander and pike on sandy or gravelly bottoms

• Metallica — high-contrast metallic finish; effective in stained water or overcast conditions

• Mai Tai — warm orange/red tones; good search colour in coloured water

• Fireshark — bold contrast pattern; useful in murky conditions or at dusk

• Black Albino — dark silhouette; a proven night-fishing and low-light colour
