Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 5cm 0.4m 4g Hot Spot

Balzer Matze Koch UV Booster Crankbait 5cm / 4g — UV-Active Flash for Shallow-Water Predators

A compact, hard-bodied lure designed for active spinning in streams, ponds, and trout lakes — built to trigger bites even in tough light conditions thanks to UV-reactive finish.

UV Reactivity That Works When Colours Don't

The UV-active body coating absorbs and reflects ultraviolet light, making the lure visually striking to predatory fish in low-light situations, overcast skies, or slightly coloured water. The Hot Spot colour is engineered to maximise this UV response with high-contrast tones that stand out across a range of water clarities.

Ideal Running Depth for Shallow Zones

With a running depth of 0.4m, this crankbait is perfectly suited for working the upper water column — ideal for targeting trout holding near the surface or in shallow runs and margins. It lets you cover flat, weedy, or structure-laden areas without constantly snagging the bottom.

Choose the Right Variant

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

• Hot Spot — high-contrast UV colour; effective in overcast or coloured water for trout and perch

• Fire Fly — bright, attention-grabbing finish; good in murky or stained water

• Blue Melon — natural cool tone; suited to clear water and cautious fish

• Pike — realistic baitfish pattern; versatile for pike and larger predators

• Blue Arctic — icy flash finish; works well in cold, clear conditions

• Night Crawler — dark, natural tone; effective in low-light or evening sessions

• Lime — vivid chartreuse; strong UV response, good in low visibility

• Albino — pale, subtle pattern; effective in very clear, pressured water

• Orange Fire Tiger — warm, high-visibility pattern; trout and perch in stained water

• Green Fire Tiger — classic fire tiger variation; reliable all-round attractor colour
