Balzer Barsch Hegene 175cm 5cm Fluorocarbon

Balzer Barsch Hegene — Ready-Rigged Perch Rig for Clear-Water Lure Fishing

The Balzer Barsch Hegene Barschmontage (perch rig) is a complete, ready-to-fish paternoster system loaded with three UV-active soft baits — engineered for active lure fishing on perch.

UV-Active Soft Baits That Trigger Strikes

Each rig ships with three UV-reactive rubber lures that glow under low-light and overcast conditions, adding a visual trigger that plain-coloured baits simply can't match. The 5 cm body size hits the sweet spot for perch of all sizes without deterring bigger fish.

Fluorocarbon Leader for Stealthy Presentation

The three hook-and-lure combinations are mounted on a 175 cm fluorocarbon leader (0.25 mm diameter). Fluorocarbon's near-invisible refractive index is a genuine advantage in clear rivers, gravel pits, and lakes where perch can be line-shy. The eye hooks seat securely on the line, and each hook features two small barbs on the shank that lock soft baits firmly in place — no constant re-threading mid-session.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Barsch Hegene range shares the same 175 cm fluorocarbon leader (0.25 mm) and paternoster format across sizes and hook styles. Pick the version that matches your target size and presentation preference:

• 4.5 cm soft bait, single hook — smaller profile, ideal for finicky or smaller perch, clear stillwaters

• 5 cm soft bait, single hook (this product) — versatile all-round size, suits perch from 20 cm upwards in rivers and lakes

• 5.5 cm soft bait, single hook — larger profile, targets bigger perch and can attract pike-perch as a bonus

• Single-hook variant without specified bait size — check listing for exact bait length before ordering

• Variants 722341 / 722342 — configuration details not specified; contact retailer for clarification
