Balzer Mr Maggot Crankbait 3g 3.5cm Sinking

Balzer Mr Maggot Crankbait — Compact Sinking Wobbler for Trout

The Balzer Mr Maggot is a 3.5 cm, 3 g sinking crankbait designed as a precise imitation of a wax worm (bee larva), purpose-built for active trout fishing on lakes and ponds.

A Realistic Profile That Trout Can't Ignore

At just 3.5 cm, the Mr Maggot presents a natural, compact silhouette that mirrors the size and shape of a real wax worm. This realistic profile makes it especially effective when trout are feeding selectively on smaller food items near the bottom or in the water column.

Versatile Retrieve on Ultra-Light Tackle

Despite weighing only 3 g, the Mr Maggot casts well on ultra-light (UL) spinning rods. It can be worked with a straight, slow retrieve or twitched with short rod-tip movements for an erratic action that triggers reaction strikes. The single hook is both sharp and robust, delivering reliable hook-ups even in hard-mouthed fish, and it can handle the fight of larger, powerful rainbow trout.

Choose the Right Variant

The Mr Maggot 3.5 cm / 3 g is available in multiple colour options. Each variant shares the same sinking action, size, and single-hook setup — your choice of colour is the key decision.

• Balzer Mr Maggot 3.5 cm 3 g Sinking — Single Hook: The current variant; a compact sinking wax-worm imitation suited to trout ponds and lakes on UL spinning gear, in your chosen colour.

• Balzer Mr Maggot 3.5 cm 3 g Sinking — alternative colour: Same size and action; select a different colour to match water clarity or light conditions.
