FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster

FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster — Lifting Rigs Presented Perfectly

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster (bottom feeder) replaces a traditional lead weight in trout fishing and is purpose-built for lifting (buoyant) rigs at stillwater trout venues. Especially effective during cold-weather sessions when trout hold low and respond best to a slowly ascending bait.

Slow Sink, Soft Bottom — No Getting Buried

Unlike a conventional lead, the Bodentaster descends gently after casting and settles on the lakebed without digging into soft or silty substrates. This keeps your rig clean, visible, and correctly positioned right from the moment it lands — critical when targeting cautious trout in pressured fisheries.

Stands Upright for Resistance-Free Bites

Once on the bottom, the Bodentaster stands vertically, holding your presentation steady while allowing the line to run freely through its eye. Trout feel no tension when they take the bait, giving you cleaner, more confident bite detection and fewer dropped takes.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster is available in several weights to match different water depths, current conditions, and casting distances at trout lakes and ponds.

• FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster — each variant is supplied as 1 piece in the selected weight; choose a lighter weight for shallow, calm venues and a heavier option for deeper water or longer casts
