Balzer Perchman Rig 5g 6

Balzer Perchman Rig 5g Size 6 — Ready-to-Fish Trout Rig for Cold-Water Success

The Balzer Perchman Rig is a proven bottom-fishing setup now purpose-built for trout, delivering consistent results with either soft baits or natural baits straight out of the packet.

Versatile Bait Compatibility

Whether you prefer threading on a worm or tipping the hook with a soft rubber lure, this rig handles both without modification. That flexibility lets you adapt quickly on the bank when one approach outperforms the other, maximising your chances throughout a session.

Adjustable Hook Height for Precise Presentation

A sliding bead on the trace allows you to reposition the hook along the line, fine-tuning how high it sits above the bottom. This is particularly valuable in colder months when trout hug the lakebed — especially larger rainbow and salmon trout — and a perfectly placed bait at their eye level makes all the difference.

Choose the Right Variant

The Perchman Trout Rig is available in two weights, both in size 6. Pick the weight that matches your casting distance, current, or water depth.

• Balzer Perchman Rig 5g Size 6 — suits moderate casting distances and slightly deeper or faster water; ideal when fish are holding deeper or a slower sink rate isn't triggering takes

• Balzer Perchman Rig 3g Size 6 — lighter option for shallower venues or calmer conditions where a more delicate presentation is preferred
