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

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 zander and other predators. Versatile presentation styles and a built-in rattle system make it a reliable choice from dusk to deep into the night.

Suspending Action That Triggers Hesitant Zander

The suspending swimming action means the lure hangs motionless in the water column the moment you pause your retrieve. That freeze — the classic "spin stop" — is precisely when most strikes happen. Whether you work it with a steady wind, a rhythmic twitch, or a dead-slow retrieve over rocky structure after dark, the lure stays in the strike zone and keeps fish interested.

Steel-Ball Rattle and Cast & Balance System

Built-in steel balls serve two purposes: they produce a vibrating rattle that stimulates the lateral line of zander even in low visibility or darkness, and the Cast & Balance system shifts weight during the cast to extend range even in strong crosswinds or headwinds. You get accurate placement at distance without sacrificing lure action on the retrieve.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 13 cm length, 21 g weight, 1.4 m running depth, and suspending action with a steel-ball rattle. Choose your colour to match water clarity, light conditions, and local prey:

• Black Albino — high-contrast dark back with pale belly; strong silhouette in murky water or at night; effective for zander over rocky and dark substrates

• Zander — natural zander-pattern finish; ideal when fish are pressured and conditions are clear

• Metallica — metallic flash finish; effective in medium clarity or overcast light when baitfish are active

• Mai Tai — bright mixed tones; good search colour in stained water or when experimenting with attractor patterns

• Fireshark — bold hot tones; high visibility in coloured or deep water

• Grundel (Goby) — bottom-prey imitation; useful when zander are keyed on gobies or other benthic forage

• Barsch (Perch) — natural perch pattern; effective in mixed predator fisheries or clear water
