Balzer Colonel UV Striker Minnow Wobbler 6.5cm – Floating

Balzer Colonel UV Striker Minnow Wobbler – 6.5cm

The Balzer Colonel UV Striker Minnow Wobbler is a compact 6.5cm floating hardbody lure designed for fishing the upper part of the water column.

With a shallow 0.5m diving depth, the UV Striker is an excellent choice for working over weed beds, along shallow margins and through areas where fish are actively hunting close to the surface.

Its classic minnow profile and shallow-running action make it a versatile lure for trout and other predatory freshwater fish.

Floating Shallow-Running Design

The Colonel UV Striker is a floating wobbler, allowing the lure to rise towards the surface when the retrieve is stopped.

Start retrieving and the diving lip takes the lure down to approximately 0.5m, keeping it within the shallow strike zone.

This makes it particularly useful when fishing water that's too shallow for deeper-diving hardbaits.

Ideal for Trout Fishing

At 6.5cm, the lure provides a useful baitfish-sized profile for trout.

Cast it around lake margins, river pools, current edges and other likely holding areas, varying your retrieve speed and adding pauses to change the presentation.

The shallow diving depth also makes it a useful option when trout are actively feeding in the upper water layers.

Fish It Over Weed & Structure

A maximum diving depth of around 50cm makes the UV Striker particularly useful when you need to keep your lure above submerged weed or shallow structure.

Because the lure floats, pausing the retrieve can also allow it to rise away from potential snags before continuing.
