Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 6.5cm Carp

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Lifelike 6.5 cm Softbait for Active Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad is a precision-designed soft plastic lure (Gummifisch) built for anglers who want a realistic baitfish imitation that works across a wide range of predator species and conditions.

3D-Printed Shape with Photo-Realistic Finish

The body profile was developed using a 3D printer, producing an exceptionally accurate baitfish silhouette. Combined with a 3D photo print design — in this case a carp pattern — the lure delivers a visual realism that cautious predators in clear water find hard to ignore.

Natural Action with Pressure-Wave Appeal

Beyond looks, the Clone Shad is built to move right. Its paddle tail generates pulsing pressure waves as it swims, triggering the lateral line of nearby predators even in coloured or low-visibility water. The result is a nearly natural swimming action that suits jigging, drop-shotting (lazy style), and spin fishing alike.
