Balzer Trout Attack Hectic Maggot Crankbait 3cm 1.3g Sinking

Balzer Trout Attack Hectic Maggot — Compact Sinking Crankbait for Ultra-Light Trout Fishing

The Hectic Maggot is a 3 cm, 1.3 g sinking crankbait (hard lure) from Balzer's Trout Attack range, shaped to mimic a bee larva and built for ultra-light (UL) trout sessions on ponds, trout lakes, and streams.

Erratic Action That Triggers Strikes

Despite its tiny profile, the Hectic Maggot produces a frantic, twitchy swimming action when worked with an active retrieve. That unpredictable movement imitates a struggling larva and provokes reaction bites from wary trout that ignore more subtle presentations.

Sinking Design for Precise Depth Control

The sinking action lets you count the lure down to the strike zone before beginning your retrieve — useful when trout are holding off the bottom or at mid-water on pressured venues. At just 1.3 g it pairs perfectly with light spinning rods and 2–4 lb mainlines typical of UL setups.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 3 cm length, 1.3 g weight, and sinking action. The only difference between them is colour. Choose the colour that best matches local forage or water clarity:
