Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 5cm 0.4m 4g Blue Melon

Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 5cm — UV-Active Shallow Runner for Trout and Perch

A compact, hard-bodied lure built for active spinning on streams, ponds, and put-and-take lakes — the UV Booster Crankbait (crankbait/wobbler) works the top 0.4m of the water column where trout and perch feed.

UV Reactivity That Works in Any Light

The lure is UV-active, meaning its finish absorbs and re-emits ultraviolet light. On overcast days, in stained water, or during low-light morning sessions, this gives the Blue Melon colour an extra visual signal that predators pick up when a standard finish would go unnoticed.

Designed for Shallow, Active Water

At 5cm and 4g, this crankbait is easy to cast on light spinning or UL (ultra-light) gear and runs at a consistent depth of 0.4m. That makes it ideal for probing the surface zone of shallow streams, reed margins, and well-oxygenated inlet areas — exactly the spots where trout and perch hold on warmer days.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 5cm length, 4g weight, and 0.4m running depth. Colour is the differentiator — match it to light conditions, water clarity, and target species.

• Blue Melon — current variant; a translucent, cool-toned pattern suited to clear water and bright conditions; effective on trout and perch

• Fire Fly — high-contrast flash colour for low-light or coloured water

• Night Crawler — darker natural tone for pressured fish or shaded stretches

• Lime — bright attractor colour; works well in murky water or overcast skies

• Albino — pale, natural finish; good for very clear water and selective trout

• Blue Arctic — cool blue tone; versatile all-round colour for trout lakes

• Orange Fire Tiger — aggressive, warm-toned attractor; perch and aggressive trout

• Pike — larger predator pattern; also attracts big perch and stream trout

• Green Fire Tiger — classic predator attractor in green/yellow; reliable in varied conditions

• Hot Spot — high-visibility accent colour; useful trigger in fast, broken water
