The rig arrives fully assembled. Simply insert your deadbait onto the wooden dowel (head-down), then attach the leader to your main line using a swivel or running ledger weight. The buoyancy system keeps the bait positioned naturally.
Size #6 (Small) suits baits 5–8 cm long, #4 (Medium) works for 9–13 cm, and #2 (Large) handles 14–20 cm deadbaits. Match the bait size to the variant for best performance and natural balance.
Yes. The rig is designed for both still and running water. In streams or rivers, use a side ledger or running ledger weight to control depth and drift. The buoyancy keeps the bait at the right height.
The treble hooks are forged from high-carbon steel, sharpened and hardened for reliability on large pike. They're strong enough to handle powerful runs without bending or breaking.
Each variant is marked with a target bait length range on the packaging (e.g. 5–8 cm). The wooden dowel is proportioned to match. If your bait is too long, it may not balance properly; if too short, the hooks may not be concealed.
The hooks are integrated into the rig design. Replacement is not recommended, as the rigging angles and attachment points are optimized for natural movement. For damaged or dulled hooks, it's better to source a fresh rig.

The Balzer Matzes Buoyancy Rig is a purpose-built deadbait system for pike fishing on lakes and rivers. Each rig combines a wooden support rod, dual treble hooks, and a balanced buoyancy chamber to hold your baitfish head-down near the bottom—exactly how a dying natural prey would appear.
Inserting the wooden dowel into your deadbait props the fish vertically, with its head near the lake or river bed. This natural presentation triggers strikes from pike hunting for easy meals. The buoyancy system keeps tension on your main line while allowing the bait to settle naturally, making it ideal for both running water and still waters.
The twin treble hooks are sharp and strong, set at angles for confident hookups. The entire assembly arrives pre-assembled—just thread in your deadbait (5–20 cm, depending on variant), attach to a running or side ledger rig, and fish. Works equally well stationary or with gentle movement.
