Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 18cm Zander

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Lifelike Soft Bait for Zander and Predators

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad is a 3D-printed soft lure (Gummifisch) engineered to fool even the most cautious predators. At 18 cm in the Zander colour, it's built for big fish in open water.

Realistic Profile Straight from a 3D Printer

The lure body was shaped using a 3D printer, resulting in an anatomically precise baitfish profile that rivals the real thing. A matching 3D photo-print design replicates the colouration of a natural prey fish, giving the Clone Shad a visual edge over generic soft baits — especially important in clear-water conditions where zander can inspect a lure closely before committing.

Paddle Tail That Generates Pressure Waves

The integrated paddle tail produces wide, rhythmic beats on every retrieve, sending out pressure waves that trigger the lateral-line sense of nearby predators. This action works across jigging, drop-shotting (lazy-style / Faulenzen), and spinning — and remains effective in coloured or murky water where visual cues are limited.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Clone Shad is available in multiple lengths and colours to match different target species, water conditions, and rigs. Select the combination that fits your session:

• Zander 18 cm (Paddelschwanz) — current product; large profile for open-water zander and pike, effective on heavy jig heads in deep or flowing water

• Zander 12 cm — compact zander pattern for medium depths and slower presentations

• Zander 9 cm (Paddelschwanz) — versatile jigging size for zander in rivers and reservoirs

• Zander 6.5 cm (Paddelschwanz) — finesse option for pressured or smaller zander

• UV Zander 18 cm (Paddelschwanz) — UV-enhanced zander coloration for low-light or stained-water sessions

• UV Zander 9 cm (Paddelschwanz) — UV zander pattern, compact for varied depths

• UV Zander 6.5 cm (Paddelschwanz) — UV finesse option

• Perch / UV Perch (6.5–18 cm) — perch-imitating colours for bass and zander in weedy or mixed-species venues

• Roach / UV Roach (6.5–15 cm, Paddelschwanz) — roach pattern for rivers and stillwaters

• UV Pike 18 cm (Paddeltail) — high-contrast pike colour for trophy hunting

• Carp (6.5–18 cm) — natural carp hue for predator waters with visible carp prey

• UV Trout (6.5–9 cm) — trout coloration for trout-stocked fisheries and salmon rivers

• BlMin / RaTro / BrTro (various sizes) — additional attractor and natural baitfish patterns
