Balzer Pike Buddy Swimbait 13cm 55g 2 Treble Hooks Slow Sinking

Balzer Pike Buddy — Slow-Sinking Swimbait Built for Big Pike

The Balzer Pike Buddy is a 13 cm, 55 g hard swimbait designed specifically for targeting trophy pike, combining a seductive S-curve action with practical rigging flexibility.

Enticing S-Curve Action on Every Retrieve

Whether you twitch it aggressively or work it on a steady retrieve, the Pike Buddy traces a natural, fluid S-curve through the water column. This lifelike swimming motion triggers reaction strikes from even the most pressured fish, making it effective across a wide range of retrieve speeds and water temperatures.

Ball-Bearing Treble Hooks That Keep Fish On

Both treble hooks are mounted on ball-bearing swivels, allowing them to rotate freely during the fight. This significantly reduces leverage on the hook points and lowers the chance of a fish throwing the lure — a critical advantage when targeting large, hard-fighting pike. An additional bottom eye lets you clip on a supplementary lure weight to adjust sink rate and reach different depth zones without changing lures.
