Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 6cm Hot Olive

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad — UV-Active Soft Lure That Works in Any Visibility

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad (Gummifisch — soft plastic lure) is a versatile shad-style bait built for active predator fishing. At 6 cm in the Hot Olive colour, it's ideally sized for perch and zander across a wide range of conditions.

UV-Active Bite Points for Murky and Clear Water

The eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin are UV-active and set off in a contrasting colour from the body. In low-visibility or turbid water this gives predators a precise target at distance — but the same detail works just as well in clear conditions, where the contrast adds lifelike definition to the profile.

Natural Action That Triggers Strikes

The Booster Shad's body and tail geometry produce a fluid, seductive swimming action on the retrieve, during a jig or while drifting. This makes it effective across jigging, drop-shot style dead-baiting, and straight spinning — wherever pike, zander, or perch are the target.

Choose the Right Variant

The Booster Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours. Use the guide below to match your setup to the conditions:

• Hot Olive 6 cm — natural olive tone; compact size for perch and zander; suits clear to lightly stained water; ideal for light jig heads and drop-shot rigs
