Balzer Matzes Doppel Drilling System Pike Leader 2 70cm 9kg

Balzer Matzes Doppel Drilling System Pike Leader — Reliable Deadbait Rig for Pike

The Balzer Matzes Doppel Drilling System (double treble hook system) is a purpose-built steel pike leader for deadbait fishing, combining secure bait presentation with dependable hook-up rates in tough pike jaws.

Versatile Presentation for Any Pike Setup

Whether you prefer a bottom rig or a float-drifting approach, this 70 cm steel leader adapts to both. Lay the deadbait static on the lakebed or suspend it under a float and let it drift through pike territory — the rig handles both techniques without compromise.

Two Sharp Trebles, One Confident Strike

Two robust treble hooks are rigged to maximize hold and hooking efficiency. The recommended method is to pass one treble through the tail root via the backbone, locking the bait firmly in place even during powerful casts. The second treble sits in the flank of the baitfish, ensuring deep, reliable penetration when a pike takes and turns the bait in its hard, bony mouth.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Matzes Doppel Drilling System is available in multiple hook sizes to match your baitfish and target conditions. Select the size that suits your typical deadbait:

• Size 2 (current product) — 70 cm, 9 kg — a well-balanced choice for medium deadbaits such as roach or smelt; suits both bottom and float rigs

• Size 6/S — 70 cm, 9 kg — suited to smaller baitfish; ideal when pike are finicky or waters are heavily pressured
