Balzer Pike Collector Shad 20cm 45g Softbait Albino

Balzer Pike Collector Shad — 20 cm / 45 g Softbait in Albino — Triggering Action for Predators

The Balzer Pike Collector Shad is a purposefully built soft plastic (softbait) designed to draw violent strikes from pike and large zander. The Albino colour delivers a bright, high-contrast profile that stands out in clear and low-light conditions alike.

Powerful Flanking Action from the First Retrieve

Even at slow, monotonous retrieve speeds the 20 cm / 45 g body generates strong lateral pressure waves that predators detect instantly through their lateral line. You don't need a complex rod technique — a steady wind is enough to keep the lure working at full effectiveness.

UV-Active Reptile Eyes as a Strike Trigger

The sealed, UV-active reptile eyes give pike and zander a precise focal point to lock onto during the attack, improving strike accuracy and reducing short strikes. The UV enhancement remains active in deeper water and under overcast skies where standard colours lose their edge.

Choose the Right Variant

The Pike Collector Shad is available in several colours, each suited to specific water conditions and target species.

• Albino (current) — bright, high-contrast finish; excellent in clear water, sunny conditions, and when targeting pike or zander that respond to a flashy profile

• Hecht — natural pike-imitating pattern; a go-to for neutral or pressured fish in clear conditions

• UV Chub — roach/chub-inspired colour with UV boost; effective in stained or coloured water and low light

• Salt 'n' Pepper — subtle, mottled finish; a reliable fallback when fish are shy or in heavily fished venues

• Additional colour variants available; attributes not specified
