Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 11cm 1.2m 11g Gründling

Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait — Shallow Running Wobbler That Triggers Predators in Low Light

The Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Natur (Crankbait) in Gründling (gudgeon) finish is an 11 cm, 11 g shallow runner designed to work weedy flats and near-surface zones where pike and zander hunt. UV-active pigments give it an edge during overcast days and in coloured water.

UV Reactivity That Works When Visibility Drops

The UV-active finish on this wobbler absorbs and re-emits UV light, making the Gründling colour pattern more visible in low-light conditions, murky water, or the shade of overhanging vegetation. This gives the lure a biological edge without relying on flash alone.

Shallow 1.2 m Running Depth for Weedy and Shallow Water

With a running depth of just 1.2 m, this crankbait is purpose-built for shallow rivers, reed margins, weed beds, and surface-adjacent retrieves. It lets you cover productive but snag-prone water that deeper-running lures cannot fish effectively. At 11 g it casts cleanly on medium spinning and baitcasting setups.

Choose the Right Variant

The matrix covers a single size and weight class (11 cm / 11 g, Shallow Runner, 1.2 m depth). Colour is the key differentiator — choose based on water clarity and target species:

• Gründling (gudgeon) — current variant; natural baitfish pattern, excellent for pike and zander in clear to lightly stained water where gudgeon are a natural prey item

• Makrele (mackerel) — high-contrast striped pattern; works well in coloured or murky water and for aggressive pike

• Additional variants in the matrix have unspecified colours; check product listing for current availability
