Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster

Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster — Purpose-Built Whitefish Leader

Designed specifically for whitefish (Felchen) and vendace (Renken) fishing, the Balzer Felchen Hegene paternoster rig delivers natural nymph presentation at depth with minimal fuss.

Five Nymphs, Maximum Movement

Each rig comes armed with five hooks, each dressed with a nymph and attached via a loop connection. The loop-to-loop setup lets every nymph swing and flutter independently, mimicking the subtle movements of natural aquatic insects — exactly what cautious whitefish respond to.

Ready to Fish, Straight from the Spool

The rig is delivered pre-tied on a winder, keeping the leader tangle-free and ready to attach directly to your main line. No rigging bench needed — just clip on and lower to depth.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Felchen Hegene paternoster rig is available in different lengths and hook sizes to match water depth, target species, and local conditions:

• #12 / 180cm Paternoster — mid-length rig with size 12 hooks; well-suited for standard whitefish and vendace depths, balanced hook gap for typical nymph patterns

• #14 / 210cm Paternoster — longer rig with smaller size 14 hooks; better for deeper water columns or where a more subtle presentation is needed

• Additional variants available; check listing for full attribute details
