Balzer Barsch Hegene 175cm 5.5cm Einzelhaken Fluorocarbon

Balzer Barsch Hegene 175 cm — Ready-Rigged Perch Rig for Clear Water

The Balzer Barsch Hegene is a complete paternoster rig built for active perch fishing with soft lures — everything pre-tied and ready to cast.

UV-Active Soft Baits That Trigger Strikes

Each rig comes equipped with three UV-active rubber lures that stand out even in low-light or murky conditions. The UV fluorescence adds an extra trigger dimension that draws perch in from a distance and prompts reaction bites that plain-coloured lures often fail to produce.

Fluorocarbon Leader for Stealthy Presentations

The 175 cm leader is tied from 0.25 mm fluorocarbon — a near-invisible material in clear water. This makes the rig particularly effective on lakes, gravel pits and rivers with good clarity, where pressured or large perch are quick to refuse more visible monofilament setups. The single hooks (Einzelhaken) feature two small barbs on the shank that lock soft baits firmly in place, preventing them from sliding down during casts and retrieves.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Barsch Hegene 175 cm range offers several configurations to match your target size and fishing style. Pick the one that fits the lure size and hook style you prefer.

• 161430 — 5.5 cm, Einzelhaken (single hook), Fluorocarbon: The current variant. The 5.5 cm lure size suits medium to large perch; single hooks give clean hook-sets and easy lure changes, ideal for clear-water paternoster fishing.

• 722338 — 4.5 cm, Fluorocarbon: Smaller lure profile; well suited for finesse presentations or waters with smaller average perch.

• 722340 — 5.0 cm, Fluorocarbon: Mid-range lure size; a versatile all-round choice between the 4.5 cm and 5.5 cm options.
