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

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

The MK Zanderscheuche ("zander scarecrow") is a versatile 13 cm suspending crankbait designed with zander in mind, equally at home on slow, methodical retrieves and aggressive twitching sessions.

Suspending Action That Triggers Hesitant Zander

As a suspender, the Zanderscheuche hangs motionless in the water column the moment you pause your retrieve. That stationary pause is exactly when most strikes happen — zander that have been following the lure can no longer resist a bait that simply stops and hovers. You can fish it with a straight wind, short twitches, or a stop-and-go rhythm; all three styles work well with this lure.

Steel-Ball Rattle and Cast & Balance System

Built-in steel balls serve a dual purpose: they produce a rattle that stimulates the lateral line of zander, making the lure effective even in low-light or night sessions over rocky structures where zander hunt under the cover of darkness. The same steel balls contribute to the Cast & Balance System, shifting weight during the cast for long, accurate throws even into a side wind or headwind.

Choose the Right Variant

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

• Metallica — current variant; a bright metallic finish that reflects light well in clear to moderately coloured water and around deeper rocky structures at dusk

• Zander — natural zander-pattern; ideal for clear water and pressured fish

• Barsch — perch-pattern; useful when perch are mixed in with zander

• Fireshark — high-contrast attractor colour; effective in coloured or dark water

• Mai Tai — vivid mixed-tone finish; good trigger colour in stained water

• Grundel — goby-inspired natural pattern; suits rivers and venues with a goby population

• Black Albino — dark/light contrast pattern; a classic choice for night fishing
