FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster

FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster — Lift-Rig Bottom Sinker for Trout

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster (bottom sinker) replaces a traditional lead weight in trout fishing and is purpose-built for lift rigs at trout lakes and ponds — especially effective in colder months when trout are less active.

Slow Sink Rate Keeps Your Rig Off the Bottom

Unlike a standard lead, the Bodentaster descends slowly through the water column, preventing it from burying itself in soft or muddy lake beds after impact. This keeps your presentation clean and in the strike zone.

Upright Stance for Perfect Bait Presentation

Once it settles, the Bodentaster stands vertically on the bottom, lifting your bait naturally above the substrate. The line runs freely through the eye, so a taking trout feels no resistance — resulting in confident, unhurried bites.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster is available in multiple weight options to match depth, current, and casting distance at your venue. Select a lighter weight for very shallow or heavily silted ponds, and a heavier option where more casting reach or a firmer bottom grip is needed.
