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

Balzer Matze Koch MK Zanderscheuche Crankbait — Suspending Precision for Zander

The MK Zanderscheuche ("Zander Scare") is a 13 cm, 21 g suspending crankbait designed by Matze Koch specifically for targeting zander and similar predators in rivers and lakes.

Suspending Action That Triggers Hesitant Zander

The suspending (neutral buoyancy) swimming action is the core advantage of this lure. On a stop-and-go retrieve or deliberate pause — the so-called "spinstop" — the bait hangs motionless in the water column at its running depth of 1.4 m. That stationary moment is exactly when zander commit to the strike, making the Zanderscheuche especially effective when fish are sluggish or pressured.

Steel Ball Rattle and Cast & Balance System

Built-in steel ball rattles produce vibration that stimulates the lateral line of predatory fish — a decisive advantage when fishing at night along rocky structures where zander ambush prey under cover of darkness. The integrated Cast & Balance system shifts weight during the cast for long, accurate throws even into a crosswind or headwind, so you can reach holding spots without spooking the zone.

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 difference is colour — select the pattern that matches your water conditions and target species:

• Confi Kauli — current variant; natural baitfish tones suited to clear-water zander sessions

• Zander — classic natural zander-pattern, ideal for pressured fish in clear to lightly coloured water

• Barsch — perch-imitation colouring, useful when perch are also present or when a natural look is needed

• Grundel — goby imitation; excellent in rivers and deeper lakes where gobies are a key prey item

• Metallica — high-contrast metallic finish for murky or coloured water and overcast conditions

• Mai Tai — bright attractor colour for low-light, night fishing, or stained water

• Fireshark — aggressive contrast pattern for coloured water or when standard naturals are ignored

• Black Albino — dark silhouette pattern; effective at night or against bright backgrounds
