Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster Sinker Wood Metal

Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster — Reliable Bottom Contact for Trout Rigs

The Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster is a specialist running lead designed for bottom rigs at trout ponds and trout lakes, combining a ball weight with an upright wooden stem for clean bite detection.

Stays Grounded, Signals Every Take

Once cast out, the ball weight settles firmly on the lake bed while the wooden stem stands upright above it. When a trout picks up the bait and draws line from the reel, the mainline runs freely through the metal eye — giving the fish no resistance and giving you a clear indication of every take.

Ideal for Buoyant and Floating Baits

The upright stem position makes the Bodentaster particularly effective when fishing with buoyant or floating baits. The bait rises naturally above the weight, presenting at the right level in the water column while the lead remains anchored on the bottom — a natural presentation that trout find hard to resist.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same wood-and-metal construction and are sold individually (1 piece per pack). The variants differ in weight, so choose based on casting distance, current, and water depth.

• Lighter weights — ideal for shallow, calm ponds with short casts

• Medium weights — versatile option for typical trout lake distances and gentle flow

• Heavier weights — suited to deeper water, longer casts, or mild current

Select the weight that matches your fishing situation; the current product is one of these available weight options.
