Balzer Colonel UV Striker Gnom 3cm 0.2m 3g Melon

Balzer Colonel UV Striker Gnom — Big Trout Appeal in a 3 cm Package

The Balzer Colonel UV Striker Gnom is a purpose-built ultra-light (UL) wobbler designed for trout fishing on put-and-take lakes, ponds, and streams — compact, lightweight, and swimming at a very shallow 0.2 m depth.

Made for Ultra-Light Trout Fishing

At just 3 cm and 3 g, the Gnom sits perfectly in the ultra-light bracket. Its floating action keeps it ticking along just beneath the surface, covering the top of the water column where trout frequently feed. The slow, controlled retrieve at 0.2 m running depth makes it especially effective when fish are holding shallow or rising to feed.

Versatile Beyond Trout

Don't limit the Gnom to trout only. Its compact profile and natural swimming action also attract perch and chub, making it a useful all-round UL lure when targeting mixed species in smaller rivers and stillwaters. The Melon colour adds a subtle, natural hue that works well in clear to lightly coloured water.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 3 cm / 3 g floating wobbler format and 0.2 m running depth. Colour is the key differentiator — match it to water clarity and light conditions:

• Melon — soft, natural tone; clear water, bright conditions; trout, perch, chub (current variant)

• Amber — warm translucent tone; clear to lightly stained water; trout

• Green Fire Tiger — high-contrast pattern; coloured or overcast conditions; trout, perch

• Clown — bold multi-colour; stained water or low light; trout, perch

• Blackhead — dark head contrast; versatile; trout, chub

• Perch — natural baitfish imitation; clear water; perch, trout
