Balzer Shirasu UV Tuning Gel 50g Paste Mackerel

Balzer Shirasu UV Tuning Gel — Mackerel Paste That Makes Lures Glow and Smell Irresistible

Give your soft and hard lures an instant edge with this UV-active mackerel-scented paste. A thin coat is all it takes to trigger more strikes when fish are being cautious.

UV Activation That Works in Any Light

The paste contains UV-reactive pigments that make your lure visibly brighter to fish in low-light conditions, murky water, or at depth. Predators like perch, zander, and pike locate targets with their lateral line and their eyes — this gel engages both.

Intense Mackerel Scent to Hold Fish Longer

Oil-rich mackerel is a proven attractor for a wide range of predatory species. Applied directly to rubber shads, swimbaits, crankbaits, or jigs, the scent trail disperses slowly on the retrieve and encourages hesitant fish to commit. The paste format means no mess and easy, controlled application.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu UV Tuning Gel (Tuning Gel für Kunstköder) comes in several scent options, each suited to different target species and conditions. Match your choice to local prey and water clarity.

• Mackerel (current variant) — broad-spectrum predator attractor; effective for pike, zander, perch, and saltwater species; strong oil-based scent works well in cold or coloured water

• Squid — sea-inspired profile; good alternative for zander and large perch, or when fishing brackish/coastal venues

• Garlic — classic, pungent attractor that cuts through murky water; popular for pike and zander in river and canal sessions

• Crab (Krabbe) — natural bottom-prey scent; suits fishing over rocky or weedy ground where crustaceans are present

• Natural/Unflavoured — UV colour boost without added scent; useful when fish are reacting to flash and movement rather than smell
