Balzer Shirasu Jigheads: secure softbait retention

Balzer Shirasu Jigheads are lead jig heads for fishing soft shads, soft jigs and other softbaits in rivers and lakes. They suit jigging, lift-and-drop retrieves driven by the reel and general lure fishing for zander, pike and perch. A small metal keeper holds the softbait on the head, helping it stay in place during forceful casts.

Hooking and strength

The very sharp jig hook and wide gape support effective hooking and give the lure room to sit correctly. The stable hook construction is designed to withstand fights with large, hard-fighting predators.

Choose hook size and head weight together

Match the hook size to your softbait, then choose the weight for the presentation and water conditions. Smaller hooks suit smaller lure bodies, while larger hooks accommodate larger softbaits. Lighter heads give a slower fall, while heavier heads help maintain bottom contact in deeper water or stronger current at the cost of a faster fall. No exact lure-length or fishing-depth recommendations are supplied.

The available combinations are:

#8: 1 or 2 g
#4: 4 g
#2: 5 g
#1: 3 or 5 g
#1/0: 5, 10 or 15 g
#3/0: 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 g
#5/0: 15 or 20 g
#7/0: 20 g

Supplied individually

Each variant contains one lead jig head in the selected hook size and weight. Choose a compatible softbait separately to complete the lure.

Frequently asked

Which lures and fishing situations are these jig heads intended for?

They are intended for soft shads, soft jigs and other softbaits used for jigging, reel-driven lift-and-drop retrieves and general lure fishing in rivers and lakes. The supplier names zander, pike and perch, so select the hook size and weight to suit your chosen softbait and presentation.

How do I choose between the available variants?

Choose by both hook size and head weight. The range spans #8 to #7/0 and 1 to 25 g, but not every weight is available in every size. Match the hook to the lure body, then choose a lighter head for a slower fall or a heavier head for better bottom contact in depth or current. Exact compatible lure lengths are not specified.

What keeps the softbait in place during casting?

A small metal keeper on the lead head secures the softbait, including during forceful casts. The wide hook gape also helps the lure sit correctly, making these heads suitable when secure softbait mounting is a priority.

How many jig heads are included, and is a softbait supplied?

Each variant contains one lead jig head in the selected size and weight. The stated contents do not include a softbait, so choose a compatible lure body separately.
