Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 10cm Pike

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad — UV-Active Strike Points for More Predator Hits

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is a versatile soft lure (shad) built for active predator fishing — equally at home when jigging, slow-rolling, or straight spinning for pike, zander, and perch.

UV-Active Bite Points That Work in Any Visibility

The eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin are all UV-active and colour-contrasted against the body finish. In coloured or murky water, these three hotspots remain visible to predators at distances where the main body colour would disappear entirely — giving fish a clear target and triggering reaction strikes that a plain shad simply cannot match.

Enticing Action Across All Retrieves

The shad tail generates a consistent, rhythmic thump on the straight retrieve, and the fins add subtle flutter on the fall during a jig pause. This combination keeps the lure looking alive whether you are cranking it through open water, working it along weed edges, or bouncing it off the bottom — giving pike, zander, and perch every reason to commit.

Choose the Right Variant

The Booster Shad comes in several sizes and colours, each suited to different target species, water conditions, and rigs. Select the combination that best matches your session.

• Pike / 6 cm — compact profile for perch and small zander; drop-shot or light jig heads in clear, shallow water

• Pike / 10 cm — current product; a balanced all-round size for pike and zander; suits medium jig heads (10–21 g) in rivers and stillwaters alike; the Pike colour with its natural finish and UV-active accents works across clear and slightly coloured conditions

• Blue Artic / 6 cm — bright flash colour; clear water, perch and zander

• Arkansas Shiner / 6 cm — natural baitfish pattern; versatile for all three species

• Fire Shark / 6 cm or 10 cm — high-contrast attractor; low-light or stained water

• Salt'n Pepper / 6 cm, 10 cm, 13 cm, or 17 cm — neutral speckle; pressured fish, finesse presentations
