Balzer MK Super Natural Jerk Rotauge Sinking

Balzer MK Super Natural Jerk Rotauge Sinking — Deadly Shallow-Water Jerkbait for Pike and Zander

Designed by Matze Koch, the MK Super Natural Jerk in Rotauge (roach) pattern is a sinking jerkbait built to fool predators with a uniquely textured scale finish and a swimming action that changes with every phase of the retrieve.

A Scale Pattern That Creates Real Turbulence

The coarse, highly visible scale texture isn't just for looks — it generates micro-turbulences in the water as the lure moves, adding an extra layer of disturbance that triggers reaction strikes. The detail is tactile as well as visual, giving this bait a presence that smooth-bodied jerkbaits simply can't match.

Three Distinct Actions in One Lure

How you work this jerk determines what it does. A light snap of the wrist into a slightly slack line makes it break left and right in a sharp S-curve. A steady, even retrieve produces wide, flowing snake movements. Let it sink and it flanks and quivers on the way down — a phase that often draws the strike all on its own. The recommended retrieve is: gentle snap, let it dart, allow two seconds to sink, repeat. This lure is built for shallow water but can be fished at varying depths.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the sinking Rotauge colour and are designed for jerking in shallow water. The swimming action on the sink and during the retrieve varies across sizes and builds, making it easy to match the bait to the mood of the fish or the density of the cover.

• S-curve / snake motion, twitching on fall — the current variant; combines aggressive side-to-side breaks with an enticing quivering action on the sink; ideal for active pike and zander holding near structure

• S-motion / snake movement — broad S-curve on steady retrieve; good all-round choice for open shallow flats

• S-curve / Snake action, flanking on sink — pronounced flanking glide on the drop; effective when fish are following but need extra triggering on the pause

• S-curve / snaking, side-to-side darting — erratic dart between beats; suited to pressured fish or clear-water situations
