Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 6.5cm UV Roach

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Ultra-Realistic 6.5 cm Softbait for Active Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in UV Roach at 6.5 cm is a compact, highly detailed soft lure (Gummifisch) built to trigger bites from perch, pike, zander, and other predators in any water clarity.

3D-Printed Body with Photo-Realistic Finish

The lure body was developed using a 3D printer, producing a near-perfect replica of a natural baitfish. A 3D photo-print design mimicking real roach coloration adds visual realism that wary predators find hard to ignore — especially effective in clear water where fish have time to inspect a lure closely.

Paddle Tail Action That Creates Pressure Waves

The shad's paddle tail generates a lifelike swimming action and emits pressure waves that stimulate the lateral line of nearby predators. This natural movement makes the Clone Shad effective when jigged, drop-shotted (lazy style), or retrieved on a standard spinning setup — giving you versatility across a wide range of presentations.
