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

Balzer Colonel UV Striker Gnom — Ultralight Trout Wobbler That Works in the Shallows

At just 3 cm and 3 g, the Colonel UV Striker Gnom is a compact floating wobbler built for ultralight (UL) spinning in still and running waters. Its subtle swimming action and UV-reactive finish make it a reliable choice when trout, perch, and chub are being selective.

Designed for Ultralight Spinning on Trout Waters

The Gnom's 3 cm profile keeps it firmly in the micro-lure bracket, making it ideal for small ponds, put-and-take trout lakes, and clear streams where larger lures get ignored. The floating action — running to just 0.2 m depth — lets you work the very top of the water column without snagging weed or bottom debris, covering fish holding tight to the surface.

UV Finish for Extra Visibility in Varying Light

The UV Striker coating is designed to enhance visibility under overcast skies, low-light conditions, and in water with light colour. The Perch colour combines a realistic fish-imitating pattern with UV-reactive pigments, giving trout and perch an additional trigger that standard finishes lack. No gimmicks — UV coatings on small wobblers have a well-established track record in trout fisheries.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 3 cm body, 3 g weight, floating action, and 0.2 m running depth. Colour choice is the key decision:

• Perch — natural baitfish pattern with UV enhancement; versatile all-round choice for trout and perch in clear to lightly stained water

• Clown — high-contrast attractor colour; effective in coloured water or as a change bait

• Blackhead — dark head contrast pattern; useful in bright conditions or pressured fisheries

• Melon — soft, pale attractor tone; good option for heavily stocked trout ponds in warmer months

• Amber — warm natural tone; suits tannin-stained or peaty waters

• Green Fire Tiger — bold multicolour pattern; strong visibility in low light or heavily coloured water
