Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 18cm UV Pike

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — 18 cm UV Pike — Paddle-Tail Realism for Big Pike

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in 18 cm UV Pike is a large-format soft plastic (soft lure) built for anglers who target serious pike. Designed with 3D-printed precision and a UV-reactive finish, it delivers a lifelike silhouette and irresistible action in both clear and coloured water.

3D-Printed Body for True-to-Life Realism

The lure body was developed using a 3D printer, allowing every contour, scale detail, and proportion to mirror a real baitfish. A 3D photo-print design in the UV Pike colour adds a species-accurate visual finish that provokes reaction strikes even from wary predators.

Paddle Tail That Sends Out Pressure Waves

The paddle tail generates a thumping, rhythmic action at even low retrieve speeds, producing pressure waves that pike detect through their lateral line. This makes the 18 cm Clone Shad effective for jigging, drop-shotting (lazy fishing / Faulenzen), and classic spin fishing — across a wide range of water depths and temperatures.

Choose the Right Variant

The Clone Shad range covers multiple lengths and colours to match different species, conditions, and venues. Select the size and pattern that fits your target fish and water type:

• 18 cm · UV Pike · Paddle Tail (this product) — large profile for trophy pike in clear or coloured water; UV coating adds visibility in low light

• 18 cm · UV Perch — 18 cm paddle-tail profile in UV Perch colour; good pike alternative with a perch-imitation pattern

• 18 cm · UV Zander — 18 cm paddle-tail in UV Zander colour; suited to deep-water zander and large pike

• 18 cm · Zander · Paddle Tail — natural Zander finish in the large 18 cm format for pressured waters

• 18 cm · Perch · Paddle Tail — natural Perch colour at 18 cm for pike in clear conditions

• 18 cm · Carp · Paddle Tail — oversized Carp pattern; good when pike are keyed on larger prey

• 15 cm · UV Roach / UV Perch / BlMin / Perch · Paddle Tail — mid-size options for mixed predator fishing on zander, pike, and large perch

• 12 cm · UV Perch / Zander / Carp · Paddle Tail — compact 12 cm format for zander and perch in rivers and lakes

• 9 cm · UV Trout / UV Perch / Perch / Roach / Zander / Carp — smaller profiles for perch and zander; also as a pike teaser on lighter gear

• 6.5 cm · UV Trout / UV Perch / UV Zander / UV Roach / Perch / Roach / Carp / BlMin / Zander — finesse sizes for perch, small zander, and as a drop-shot option
