Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster

Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster — Ready-to-Fish Whitefish Leader

A purpose-built paternoster (multi-hook dropper rig) for targeting whitefish (coregonids) in deep lakes, the Balzer Felchen Hegene delivers five loop-mounted nymph hooks in one compact, ready-to-use leader.

Five Nymph Hooks, Maximum Natural Movement

Each of the five hooks carries a nymph imitation and is attached via a loop connection directly to the trace. This loop-to-loop system allows every hook to swing and flutter independently, mimicking the behaviour of small invertebrates — the exact trigger that coregonids respond to when feeding subsurface.

Supplied Ready-Wound on a Spool

The rig is delivered pre-tied and wound on a spool, so there is no tangles to sort through at the water's edge. Simply attach your main line above and a sinker below, lower to depth, and you are fishing. The 180 cm length gives comfortable spacing between the hooks without overpowering the natural drift.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Felchen Hegene is available in two lengths and two hook sizes to match conditions and the size of whitefish in your water.

• Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster — hook size 12, 180 cm length; a versatile all-round choice for average-sized whitefish and moderate depths where a slightly smaller hook presentation is preferred

• Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #12 180cm Paternoster (alt.) — hook size 12, 180 cm; same configuration, alternate listing

• Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #14 210cm Paternoster — hook size 14, 210 cm length; the smaller hook and longer trace suit finicky fish in clear water or when targeting smaller coregonid species

• Balzer Felchen Hegene — base variant; check listing for specific configuration
