Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster Sinker Wood Metal

Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster Sinker – Reliable Bottom Contact for Trout Fishing

The Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster (bottom taster/indicator sinker) is a purpose-built running sinker for trout fishing with bottom rigs at trout ponds and lakes, combining a ball sinker with a wooden stem for a uniquely functional design.

Upright Stem, Free-Running Line

Once cast, the ball sinker settles firmly on the lake bed while the wooden stem stands upright above the bottom. The metal eye at the top allows the mainline to run freely through it, meaning a biting trout can take line from the spool without feeling resistance – ideal for cautious fish that drop the bait at the slightest tension.

Perfect for Buoyant and Pop-Up Baits

The upright stance of the wooden stem makes this sinker particularly well suited to use with buoyant or pop-up style baits. The bait is presented naturally above the bottom, directly in the feeding zone, while the sinker keeps the rig anchored and the stem acts as a visual and mechanical indicator of the rig's position.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same wood-and-metal construction and are supplied as a single sinker per pack. Select the weight that suits your fishing conditions and target setup:

• 720589 / 720588 / 720590 / 720592 / 720593 / 720594 / 802761 / 200795 – Balzer Trout Attack Bodentaster (Wood, Metal, 1 piece): Available in multiple weight options; lighter weights suit calm, shallow ponds with line-shy trout, heavier weights anchor the rig effectively in deeper water or slight current.
