Balzer Barsch Hegene 175cm 4.5cm Fluorocarbon

Balzer Barsch Hegene — Ready-Rigged Perch Paternoster for Clear-Water Action

The Balzer Barsch Hegene (perch hegene) is a complete, ready-to-fish paternoster rig dressed with three UV-active soft lures — built specifically for targeting perch with artificial baits.

Fluorocarbon Leader for Shy Fish in Clear Water

The 175 cm leader is made entirely from 0.25 mm fluorocarbon, which is near-invisible underwater and significantly more abrasion-resistant than monofilament. This makes the rig particularly effective in clear rivers, lakes and gravel pits where perch can inspect a presentation closely before committing.

UV-Active Softbaits with Secure-Hold Hooks

Each of the three mounted single hooks carries a UV-reactive rubber lure that pulses and flickers on the drop and retrieve. The hooks feature two small barbs on the shank that grip the softbait firmly in place, preventing the lure from sliding down during casts or aggressive strikes — so you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Barsch Hegene is available in several configurations. Pick the size that best matches local forage and target fish:

• Balzer Barsch Hegene 175 cm — 4.5 cm softbait (current product): Fluorocarbon, single hooks. Ideal for finicky perch in clear, pressured water or when smaller profile lures are needed.

• Balzer Barsch Hegene 175 cm — 5.0 cm softbait: Fluorocarbon. A versatile mid-size option suited to average-sized perch across a range of conditions.

• Balzer Barsch Hegene 175 cm — 5.5 cm softbait: Fluorocarbon, single hooks. Step up to this size when targeting larger perch or fishing with bigger profiles to stand out in coloured water.

• Additional variants (IDs 722341, 722342): Specific attributes not available — consult the product listing for details.
