Balzer UV Confidential Baby Crank 2.8cm 2g Rotfeder

Balzer UV Confidential Baby Crank — Ultralight Trout Crankbait That Glows When It Counts

The Balzer UV Confidential Baby Crank is a compact 2.8 cm, 2 g floating crankbait built for ultralight (UL) spinning on trout, packed with UV-active finish, an integrated rattle, holographic foil, and glitter-threaded hooks to trigger bites even in low-contrast conditions.

UV Activity and Flash That Trout Can't Ignore

The UV-reactive coating makes this tiny crankbait visually stand out in overcast skies, dawn, dusk, or off-colour water — precisely the moments when trout switch on. Holographic foil panels add a prismatic baitfish shimmer across the full body, while glitter threads on the hooks give a subtle, close-range flicker right where the fish strikes.

Integrated Rattle for Extra Attraction

At just 2 g, this lure needs every edge it can carry. The built-in rattle produces high-frequency vibrations that broadcast the lure's position even when visibility is low, helping trout home in on a tight retrieve in clear streams or slightly coloured still waters.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 2.8 cm floating crankbait platform with integrated rattle and UV-active finish. Colour is the key differentiator — match it to water clarity, light level, and the forage in your water:

• Rotfeder (rudd) — current product: warm red-orange flanks that imitate small rudd or orange-bellied prey; excellent in clear water under bright or mid-light conditions where trout are keyed on colourful baitfish

• Regenbogenforelle (rainbow trout): realistic rainbow-trout flank pattern; a natural, confidence-inspiring choice when trout are targeting juvenile fish or in pressured, clear fisheries

• Weissfisch (whitefish/silverfish): cool silver-white finish imitating generic baitfish; versatile all-round colour for clear to slightly coloured water at any light level

• Variants without a listed colour (IDs 728444, 728446): unspecified finish — check retailer imagery for exact pattern
