Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 6cm Arkansas Shiner

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad — UV-Active Predator Lure for Clear and Murky Water

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is a versatile soft plastic shad designed for active predator fishing, equally at home whether you're jigging, deadbaiting or spinning for pike, zander, and perch.

UV-Active Bite Points for Maximum Attraction

Three key features — the eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin — are UV-active and visually distinct from the body colour. This contrast creates additional triggering points that stimulate strikes even in low-visibility conditions. In murky water especially, these UV-reactive details remain visible to predators at distances where the body itself would be lost from sight.

Versatile Action Across Techniques and Waters

The Booster Shad's enticing swimming action works across a wide range of retrieves and rigs. Jig it vertically for zander in deeper water, slow-roll it near the bottom for pike, or spin it steadily for perch — the shad's inherent movement does the work in both clear and coloured water alike.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match species, water clarity, and season. Smaller sizes suit perch and zander in confined or clear water; larger sizes are aimed at pike or big zander in open or coloured conditions.
