Balzer MK Hechtpose Pike Float Deadbait / Schlepppose

Balzer MK Pike Float — Deadbait & Trolling Pose for Precision Depth Finding

The Balzer MK Hechtpose (pike float) is a teardrop-shaped deadbait and trolling float purpose-built for targeting pike with natural baitfish. Its clever internal line guide makes depth sounding quick and reliable, so you spend more time fishing at the right depth.

Plumb-Kink Internal Guide for Fast Depth Setting

The standout feature of this float is its built-in bend (Lot-Knick) in the internal line channel. To find the exact fishing depth, simply set your float stop well above the expected water depth, cast out, and once the lead ball touches the bottom, retrieve with a taut line. The kink locks the float at the true water depth — read off the stopper position and you have your setting dialled in with no guesswork.

Stable Under Trolling Speeds

Beyond static deadbait presentation, this float handles trolling (Schleppangeln) with baitfish impressively well. Even at higher towing speeds the teardrop profile keeps the pose from riding up or spinning, maintaining consistent depth and presentation throughout the retrieve. Using approximately two-thirds of the stated buoyancy rating for your lead weight is recommended for optimal balance.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer MK Hechtpose is available in several buoyancy ratings to match bait size and casting distance. Heavier ratings suit larger deadbaits and longer casts; lighter ratings work well with smaller baits in shallower water.
