Balzer Patronenblei und Glasperle 12.5g 4pcs

Balzer Bullet Weight and Glass Bead — Ready-to-Rig Texas & Carolina Components

This Balzer set gives you two 12.5 g bullet weights and two matching glass beads — everything you need to self-tie a Texas Rig (TR) or Carolina Rig (CR) that ticks, clicks, and catches.

Sound That Triggers Predators

The glass bead sits between the bullet weight and the hook knot, so every rod twitch and bottom contact produces an audible click. That bead-on-lead percussion mimics the natural noise of crayfish and baitfish, giving soft-plastic presentations an extra trigger to draw strikes from perch, pike, zander, and bass.

Versatile Hardware for Multiple Rig Styles

The streamlined bullet profile slides through weeds, wood, and rocky cover with minimal snag. Use it nose-hooked Texas-style for a fully weedless setup, or peg the weight 30–60 cm above the hook on a Carolina leader to keep the soft bait hovering just off the bottom. One set covers both approaches.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants contain 2 bullet weights + 2 glass beads (4 pieces total) and are designed for Texas and Carolina rigs. Select the weight that matches your water depth, current, and lure size:

3.5 g — shallow water (under 2 m), light finesse plastics, slow presentation
5 g — mid-shallow water, standard drop-shot or light Texas setups
7.5 g — medium depth, moderate current, versatile all-round choice
10 g — deeper water or stronger current, larger soft plastics
12.5 g — deeper water, pronounced current, or when a faster sink rate is needed to keep contact with the bottom
