{"product_id":"hechtkaiser","title":"Hechtkaiser","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Big Brother of the Zanderkönig - Built for Pike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFisch \u0026amp; Fang Hechtkaiser\u003c\/em\u003e came about through the regular pike catches made on the \u003cem\u003eZanderkönig\u003c\/em\u003e. The goal was to develop a \u003cstrong\u003eslightly larger hard lure\u003c\/strong\u003e that would \u003cstrong\u003etarget pike even more precisely and effectively\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is this big brother of the \u003cem\u003eZanderkönig\u003c\/em\u003e - at 16 cm and 40 g, it has \u003cstrong\u003ethe right proportions for dedicated pike fishing\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not simply a scaled-up version of the Zanderkönig, though; this is a plug that took over two years of development before it was right in every respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise Action with Versatile Retrieve Styles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFisch \u0026amp; Fang Hechtkaiser\u003c\/em\u003e was developed in collaboration with pike specialist Mathias Fuhrmann and renowned hard lure builder Gregor Babiarz. With a maximum running depth of 1 m, it is \u003cstrong\u003eideally suited to shallow waters and shallow sections of larger venues\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a steady retrieve it produces a \u003cstrong\u003estrong rolling action\u003c\/strong\u003e, while twitching and jerking causes it to dart sharply to the side. Hard jerking in particular makes it \u003cstrong\u003ebreak away very aggressively and flash strongly\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whatever retrieve style you choose, building in \u003cstrong\u003epauses is always a good idea\u003c\/strong\u003e - that is often when pike strike. With its precise and consistent action, the \u003cem\u003eFisch \u0026amp; Fang Hechtkaiser\u003c\/em\u003e is a real \u003cstrong\u003epike-catching machine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality Components and Excellent Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFisch \u0026amp; Fang Hechtkaiser\u003c\/em\u003e is made in Germany and is a fine example of \u003cstrong\u003equality Made in Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e craftsmanship. It features an \u003cstrong\u003eextremely durable finish\u003c\/strong\u003e that reliably protects it against the sharp teeth of pike. The \u003cstrong\u003etop-level construction in every small detail\u003c\/strong\u003e extends to the choice of \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality components\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout. The treble hooks are \u003cem\u003eVMC 7554 BN #2\u003c\/em\u003e trebles, selected because they do not interfere with the action and therefore contribute indirectly to the lure's effectiveness. When pike are being cautious and there are many missed takes, you can swap the front treble for a size #1 - the rear treble size should be kept as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFine-Tuning the Sink Rate with Your Leader\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eFisch \u0026amp; Fang Hechtkaiser\u003c\/em\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003every precisely balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means that your choice of wire trace also \u003cstrong\u003einfluences how it behaves in the water\u003c\/strong\u003e. When you use wire traces or titanium leaders with reasonably small snaps, it remains a floating hard lure. Choose a heavier leader material and a larger snap, and you can turn it into a suspending or even a sinking lure. Using heavy fluorocarbon, on the other hand, still allows it to float. This gives you the ability to \u003cstrong\u003eadjust the sink behaviour to suit the situation\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard lure \/ plug \/ twitchbait \/ jerkbait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 cm long, 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum running depth: 1 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong rolling action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely durable finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-level build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fisch \u0026 Fang","offers":[{"title":"Boddensau","offer_id":51822684012890,"sku":"SF38388.1","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Firetiger","offer_id":51822684045658,"sku":"SF38388.2","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ghost Perch","offer_id":51822684078426,"sku":"SF38388.3","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Herring","offer_id":51822684111194,"sku":"SF38388.4","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Motoroil","offer_id":51822684143962,"sku":"SF38388.5","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Perch","offer_id":51822684176730,"sku":"SF38388.6","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pike","offer_id":51822684209498,"sku":"SF38388.7","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/fisch-und-fang-hechtkaiser-boddensau.jpg?v=1759437368","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/hechtkaiser","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
