Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 13cm UV Perch

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad — UV Visibility That Triggers Predators

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is a versatile soft lure (Gummifisch) designed for active predator fishing — jigging, slow rolling, and spinning for pike, zander, and perch across a wide range of water conditions.

UV Bite Points That Work in Any Visibility

What sets the Booster Shad apart are its three strategically placed UV-active zones: the eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin. These features are colour-contrasted against the body to mimic vulnerable, attention-grabbing details of a fleeing baitfish. In low-visibility or murky water, the UV elements remain visible to predators at distances where the rest of the lure would disappear — giving you a meaningful edge when conditions are tough.

Enticing Action Across Techniques

The Booster Shad's body profile and tail geometry produce a natural, seductive swimming action whether you're working it on a jig head, drop-shotting, or retrieving steadily. It performs equally well in clear water, where the colour separation between body and UV accents adds visual detail that draws closer inspection from wary fish. The 13 cm size is a strong all-round choice for zander and pike, while staying within range for larger perch.

Choose the Right Variant

The Booster Shad is available in multiple lengths and colours to match your target species, water type, and conditions. Select the combination that fits your session:

• UV Perch, 6 cm — compact size for perch and small zander; works well under hard fishing pressure

• UV Perch, 13 cm — current variant; mid-range size ideal for zander and pike, strong UV contrast for coloured water or overcast light

• Salt'n Pepper, 6 cm / 10 cm / 13 cm / 17 cm — neutral, natural finish; clear water and bright conditions

• Hot Olive, 6 cm / 10 cm / 17 cm — earthy, muted tone for natural or lightly stained water

• Fire Shark, 6 cm / 10 cm — high-contrast, warm tones for stimulating aggressive takes

• Pink Motoroil, 6 cm / 10 cm — pink-tinted finesse colour effective in colder or clearer water

• Chartreuse Motoroil / Chartreuse Lime, 6 cm — bright attractor colours for stained water or low light

• Blue Artic, 6 cm — cold, silvery tone for clear, cooler conditions

• Metallica, 6 cm — reflective sheen, good in open, bright water

• Arkansas Shiner, 6 cm — subtle baitfish imitation for pressured or clear-water fish

• Amber, 6 cm — warm, translucent tone for natural light conditions

• Pike, 6 cm / 10 cm — pike-pattern colouring suited for larger predators and pike-specific sessions

• 17 cm variants — dedicated to larger pike and trophy zander
