Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 12cm Zander

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Realistic 12 cm Softbait for Zander

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in Zander colour at 12 cm is a precision-crafted soft lure (Gummifisch) designed for active predator fishing — built to fool wary fish in clear and coloured water alike.

3D-Printed Shape for Lifelike Realism

The body of the Clone Shad was modelled using a 3D printer, producing a near-perfect replica of a small baitfish. Every contour and proportion is dialled in for authenticity, giving predators less reason to refuse the bait on a close inspection.

Paddle Tail Action That Triggers Strikes

The paddle tail generates pressure waves through the water column as it kicks, sending vibration signals that attract pike, perch, zander and other predators — even when visibility is low. Paired with the species-accurate 3D photo-print finish in Zander colour, the lure appeals to multiple senses simultaneously, making it effective for jigging, drop-shotting (Faulenzen), and spinning.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Clone Shad is available in a wide range of sizes and colours to match local baitfish and target species. Select the combination that best fits your water and quarry:

• Zander 12 cm — medium-sized profile ideal for zander in clear to slightly coloured water, effective on jig heads and for slow, seductive retrieves

• Zander 6.5 cm (Paddelschwanz) — compact option for pressured zander or when baitfish are small

• Zander 9 cm (Paddelschwanz, Jiggen/Faulenzen/Spinnangeln) — versatile mid-range size for mixed predator sessions

• Zander 18 cm / Zander 18 cm (Paddelschwanz) — large profile for targeting big zander or trophy pike

• UV Zander 6.5 cm (Paddelschwanz) / UV Zander 9 cm (Paddelschwanz) / UV Zander 18 cm — UV-enhanced zander patterns for low-light, dawn/dusk, or murky water

• Perch / UV Perch (6.5 cm, 9 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm) — perch-pattern options across all sizes for targeting perch and zander over structured ground

• Roach / UV Roach (6.5 cm, 9 cm, 15 cm) — roach imitation for rivers and lakes where roach is the dominant forage

• UV Trout (6.5 cm, 9 cm) — trout-pattern for clear, cold waters or mixed salmonid/predator venues

• UV Pike 18 cm (Paddeltail) — oversized pike-pattern for big-bait pike fishing

• Carp (6.5 cm, 12 cm Paddelschwanz, 15 cm, 18 cm Paddelschwanz) — carp-coloured shads for predators that key on larger, broader forage

• BlMin (6.5 cm, 9 cm, 15 cm Paddelschwanz) — blue-minnow pattern for clear-water, finesse applications

• RaTro (6.5 cm Paddelschwanz, 9 cm Paddelschwanz) — rainbow-trout finish for stocked or mixed fisheries

• BrTro 9 cm — brown-trout pattern for river predator fishing
