Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 9cm Perch

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Lifelike 9 cm Soft Bait for Perch and Predators

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in Perch colour and 9 cm delivers a strikingly realistic presentation for active predator fishing — designed to trigger takes from perch, pike, and zander alike.

3D-Printed Body with Photo-Realistic Finish

The lure body was shaped using a 3D printer, resulting in a near-perfect anatomical silhouette of a baitfish. A 3D photo print design replicates the natural appearance of a perch in fine detail, giving the bait an edge in clear water where cautious predators inspect their prey closely.

Paddle Tail Action That Creates Pressure Waves

The paddle tail generates rhythmic pressure waves as the lure moves through the water, stimulating the lateral line of nearby predators. Combined with a natural swimming action, this makes the Clone Shad effective when jigged, dead-sticked, or worked on a spinning setup — in both clear and coloured water conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Clone Shad is available across a wide range of sizes and colours to match different target species, water conditions, and techniques. Smaller sizes suit finesse approaches for perch and trout; larger sizes are built for pike and zander hunting in open water.
