Balzer MK Hechtpose Pike Float 20g

Balzer MK Pike Float 20g — Precise Depth Control for Deadbait Fishing

The Balzer MK Hechtpose (Pike Float) is a purpose-built deadbait float designed for targeting pike with natural baitfish. Its teardrop shape and clever internal line guide make depth-finding faster and more reliable than with conventional floats.

Depth-Plumbing Made Easy

The float features a built-in plumb-kink in the internal line guide — a simple but effective mechanism that locks the float at the exact water depth once the lead ball has reached the bottom. Set your float stop well above the estimated depth, cast out, and retrieve on a tight line: the float settles and holds at the true depth, letting you dial in your float stop with confidence. As a starting point, use roughly two-thirds of the rated buoyancy as your lead weight.

Reliable at Trolling Speed

The teardrop body keeps the Balzer MK Pike Float stable even at higher trolling speeds, making it equally well suited for trailing deadbaits across productive pike water. Unlike round or slim models, it resists displacement so your baitfish stays at the intended depth throughout the retrieve or troll.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer MK Hechtpose is available in several buoyancy ratings to match bait size, water depth, and fishing style. Choose the weight that best fits your setup:

• Balzer MK Hechtpose 10g — lighter deadbait float, suited to smaller baits or shallower water; listed as Deadbait / Schlepppose (trolling float) type

• Balzer MK Hechtpose 20g — current variant; versatile all-round rating for medium-sized deadbaits, depth-plumbing, and trolling

• Balzer MK Hechtpose 25g — higher buoyancy for larger baits, deeper water, or windier conditions

• Balzer MK Hechtpose (unspecified variant) — check retailer for current specification
