FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster

FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster — Lift-Rig Ready for Trout Lakes

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster replaces a traditional lead weight in trout fishing setups, designed specifically for lifting rigs at stillwaters — particularly effective during the cold season when trout hold close to the bottom.

Stands Upright, Stays Off the Mud

The Bodentaster sinks slowly and gently, preventing it from burying itself in the often soft or silty lake bed on impact. Once settled, it stands vertically on the bottom, keeping your bait elevated and presented exactly where trout are looking.

Resistance-Free Bite Detection

The line runs freely through the Bodentaster's eye, so a taking trout feels no resistance — critical for converting cautious, cold-water bites into hooked fish. This makes it an excellent choice for static, quiet fishing styles at trout ponds and lakes.

Choose the Right Variant

The FTM Trout Driver Bodentaster is available in several weight variants to match different water depths and current conditions. Select a lighter weight for shallow stillwaters or slow-sinking presentations, and a heavier option for deeper venues or when a faster drop is needed.
