Balzer Makrelenpaternoster Ready-made Rig 180cm 1/0 Meereshaken

Balzer Mackerel Paternoster — Ready-Made Rig Built for Offshore Action

The Balzer Mackerel Paternoster (paternoster rig) is a purpose-tied, 180 cm sea rig designed for offshore mackerel fishing — supplied ready to fish straight from the pack.

Five Feathered Hooks for Maximum Draw

Five size 1/0 sea hooks are dressed with feathers along the trace, creating a natural flutter and flash that mimics small baitfish. This built-in attraction works throughout the water column as the rig sinks or is retrieved, giving each hook its own visual trigger without any additional dressing required.

Balanced Trace Construction

The 180 cm main trace runs in 0.60 mm diameter, providing the backbone and abrasion resistance needed for boat fishing in open water. Each hook snood is tied in the finer 0.40 mm diameter, offering the right balance between strength and presentation — stiff enough to stand clear of the main line, fine enough not to spook fish in clear offshore conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Mackerel Paternoster 1.80 m is available in a small number of configurations. Match your choice to the conditions and species you are targeting:
