Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 5cm 0.4m 4g Green Fire Tiger

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

A compact 5cm hardlure designed by Matze Koch for active spinning on streams, ponds and trout lakes. The UV-reactive finish gives it an edge in low-light and coloured-water situations where standard colours fade.

UV Activity That Works When Light Is Low

The UV Booster finish absorbs and reflects ultraviolet light, making the lure stand out even in overcast conditions, shaded stream pools or murky trout-lake water. This optical boost can trigger strikes from fish that ignore a plainer bait.

Shallow Running at 0.4m — Built for Near-Surface Searches

At just 4g and with a running depth of 0.4m, this crankbait stays in the productive upper water column without snagging weed beds or bottom structure. It is well suited for working shallow stream runs, lake margins and any flat where trout or perch are feeding close to the surface.

Choose the Right Variant

Every variant shares the same 5cm body, 4g weight and 0.4m running depth. Colour is the deciding factor — match it to light conditions, water clarity and the mood of the fish.

• Green Fire Tiger (this variant) — high-contrast tiger stripe with green base; effective in coloured or green-tinted water, pressured trout lakes and overcast days

• Blue Melon — cool blue with melon highlights; works well in clear water under bright light

• Blue Arctic — pale icy blue; a natural choice for clear, cold streams and alpine lakes

• Lime — single bright lime tone; stands out in murky or tea-coloured water

• Orange Fire Tiger — warm tiger pattern on orange base; reliable in low light and autumn conditions

• Hot Spot — concentrated UV hot-spot pattern; good when fish are reacting to point flashes

• Fire Fly — vivid multi-colour; versatile all-round colour for mixed-species sessions

• Night Crawler — dark, natural tones; suited to dusk, dawn and night-time trout sessions

• Albino — white/pale finish; excellent in gin-clear water or under bright skies

• Pike — natural baitfish tones; useful when perch or larger predators are the main target
