Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 15cm UV Perch

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Ultraviolet Realism That Triggers Predator Strikes

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in UV Perch (15 cm) is a precision-crafted soft plastic lure designed for active predator fishing — ideal for perch, pike, and zander in a wide range of water conditions.

3D-Printed Form with Lifelike Finish

The body shape was developed using a 3D printer, producing an exceptionally true-to-life baitfish profile. A 3D photo print design mimicking the natural perch pattern is applied to the surface, giving the lure a visual realism that cautious fish find hard to ignore — particularly effective in clear water.

Paddle Tail Action and UV Trigger

The shad's paddle tail generates consistent pressure waves on the retrieve, providing a natural swimming action that attracts predators through both visual and lateral-line stimulation. The UV Perch colour adds an extra dimension of visibility in low-light conditions, murky water, and at depth, where UV-reactive finishes can make a real difference in triggering strikes.
