Balzer Makrelenpaternoster Ready-made Rig 180cm 1/0 Sea Hook

Balzer Makrelenpaternoster – Ready-to-Fish Paternoster Rig for Offshore Mackerel

The Balzer Makrelenpaternoster is a purpose-built, ready-made paternoster rig designed for offshore and deep-sea mackerel fishing. Tie it on, drop it down, and let the feathered hooks do the work.

Five Feathered Hooks for Maximum Attraction

Armed with five size 1/0 sea hooks, each dressed with feathers, this rig creates a multi-point presentation that mimics a small shoal of prey. The feather dressings add movement and visual stimulation in the water column, triggering reaction strikes from mackerel as the rig descends or is jigged.

Balanced Leader Construction for Clean Presentation

The 180 cm main leader runs at 0.60 mm diameter, providing the backbone strength needed when hauling multiple fish at once. The five branch lines (snoods) are stepped down to 0.40 mm, offering just enough flex for natural hook movement while still handling the fight of aggressive pelagic fish. The entire rig is supplied ready to use — no tying required.
