Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Natur Crankbait — Shallow Runner for Predator Waters

The Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Natur Shallow Runner is a 9 cm, 9 g crankbait (hard-bodied wobbler) built for active predator fishing in the shallows — UV-active finish included.

UV-Active Finish That Works in Any Light

The UV-reactive coating gives this wobbler extra visual punch in low-light conditions, murky water, and overcast days when natural colours lose their contrast. Perch, pike, and zander pick up on the UV signal even when visibility is limited, making this lure a reliable choice from dawn to dusk.

Designed for Shallow and Weedy Water

With a running depth of just 0.8 m, the Shallow Runner stays in the strike zone without snagging bottom or weed beds. It's especially effective over shallow flats, along reed edges, and in lightly vegetated areas where predators ambush prey near the surface — situations where a deeper diver would be constantly fouled.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 9 cm length, 9 g weight, and 0.8 m running depth. The colour you choose can make a real difference depending on water clarity and target species.

• Regenbogenforelle (Rainbow Trout) — current variant: Natural trout imitation; excellent for pike and large perch in clear to moderately coloured water where trout are a forage species.

• Bachforelle (Brown Trout): Earthy tones suited to rivers and lakes with natural trout populations; good all-round predator colour.

• Gründling (Gudgeon): Subtle, bottom-fish imitation; works well for zander and perch in rivers and canals.

• Makrele (Mackerel): High-contrast, blue-green flanks; a strong choice in stained water or when predators are keyed on flash.

• Additional variants without listed colour may be natural or special editions — check product images for confirmation.
