Balzer Pike Collector Shad 20cm 45g Softbait UV Chub

Balzer Pike Collector Shad — Big Flanking Action for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Pike Collector Shad is a 20 cm, 45 g softbait (soft plastic lure) built for serious pike and large zander fishing. Its strong flanking action and UV-active eyes make it hard for predators to ignore.

Pressure Waves That Trigger Strikes

Even at a steady, monotonous retrieve, the Pike Collector Shad generates strong pressure waves through its pronounced flanking action. This consistent vibration gives pike and large zander a clear signal to track and attack, making it an effective choice when fish are less aggressive or holding in deeper water.

UV-Active Reptile Eyes as a Targeting Point

The sealed, UV-reactive reptile eyes serve as a focal point for predators, helping them lock onto the lure and commit to the strike. This detail is especially useful in off-colour or low-light conditions, where visual contrast matters most.

Choose the Right Variant

The Pike Collector Shad is available in several colour options, all at 20 cm and 45 g. Pick your colour based on water clarity and target species:

• Albino — high-contrast option for dark or murky water; effective on pike in coloured rivers and lakes

• Hecht (Pike) — natural pike-pattern finish; a versatile all-round choice for clear to moderately coloured water

• UV Chub — UV-reactive chub imitation; excellent in low-light conditions, dawn/dusk, or stained water when targeting pike and large zander pelagically

• Salt 'n Pepper — neutral, speckled finish; works well in clear water or when fish have seen a lot of brighter lures

• Additional colour variants are available; check the product selector for the full range
