Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #14 210cm Paternoster

Balzer Felchen Hegene Rig #14 210cm Paternoster — Precise Presentation for Whitefish

The Balzer Felchen Hegene is a ready-to-fish paternoster rig developed specifically for targeting whitefish (coregonids) in lakes. Supplied on a winder, it puts five nymph-tipped hooks in the water column exactly where whitefish feed.

Five Nymph Hooks for Maximum Appeal

Each of the five hooks is dressed with a nymph imitation that mimics the small invertebrates whitefish actively pick off in the mid-water column. The multi-hook spread increases the chance of a take on every drift and lets you cover different depth layers simultaneously.

Loop-to-Loop Connection for Natural Movement

Every hook is attached to a dedicated dropper loop on the leader. This loop connection keeps the nymphs swinging freely, giving them a lifelike action that stiff knots simply cannot replicate — a key advantage when whitefish are being selective.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the paternoster rig design and five-nymph setup. Choose based on hook size and rig length to match your target species and water depth.

• Size 14 / 210cm (current product): larger hook size and longer rig — well suited for deeper water columns and situations where a slightly bigger nymph profile is preferred

• Size 12 / 180cm: smaller hook and shorter rig — a versatile choice for shallower water and finicky fish
