Balzer Pike Collector Shad 20cm 45g Softbait Hecht

Balzer Pike Collector Shad — Big-Bait Action for Pike and Zander

The Balzer Pike Collector Shad is a 20 cm, 45 g softbait (soft plastic lure) built for anglers who target large predatory fish with authority. One steady retrieve is all it takes to put this shad to work.

Instant Pressure Wave Action

Even under light tension, the broad, flexible tail generates strong lateral pressure waves that radiate through the water column. That flanking action mimics a struggling baitfish convincingly, drawing reaction strikes from pike without the need for complex rod work — a steady, monotonous retrieve does the job.

UV-Active Reptile Eyes as a Targeting Aid

The sealed, UV-reactive reptile eyes give predators a defined focal point to lock onto before committing to an attack. In stained or low-light water, the UV activation adds a subtle glow that keeps the lure visible and attractive when natural light fades.

Choose the Right Variant

The Pike Collector Shad is available in multiple colours to cover a wide range of water conditions and light levels. Select your colour based on water clarity, sky conditions, and the species you're targeting.

• Hecht (current) — natural pike-toned pattern; versatile all-round choice for clear to slightly coloured water targeting pike

• Albino — high-visibility light pattern; effective in dark or murky water and overcast conditions for pike

• UV Chub — chub-imitating colour with UV enhancement; strong choice for pelagic zander presentations and stained water

• Salt 'n Pepper — neutral, speckled finish; works well in clear water and bright conditions for finicky fish
