Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 18cm UV Perch

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — 3D-Printed Softbait for Active Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad is a precision-designed soft lure (Gummifisch) built for anglers who want a realistic, action-packed bait for pike, perch, zander, and other predatory species.

3D-Printed Body with True-to-Life Proportions

The body shape was developed using a 3D printer, resulting in a near-perfect replica of a natural baitfish. Combined with a 3D photo-print design that mirrors the look of real prey fish, this shad stands out in both form and finish — giving cautious predators one less reason to refuse.

Natural Swimming Action with Paddle Tail Pressure Waves

Beyond its looks, the Clone Shad delivers a convincing, lifelike action in the water. The paddle tail generates pressure waves that trigger a strike response in predators — effective in clear water where fish can be selective, and capable of drawing attention even in murky conditions. It is well suited to jigging, drop-shotting (Faulenzen), and spinning presentations.
