Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 9cm UV Perch

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Ultrarealistic 9 cm Soft Bait for Confident Predator Takes

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad (soft bait / rubber fish) in UV Perch delivers an uncannily lifelike silhouette and a reactive paddle tail that keeps perch, pike, and zander honest — whether you're jigging, drop-shotting, or slow-rolling.

3D-Printed Form with Photo-Print Skin

The body shape was designed digitally and refined on a 3D printer, producing proportions and surface contours that closely mimic a real prey fish. That precision is then locked in with a 3D photo-print finish replicating the scale pattern, flank markings, and colouration of a natural perch — giving cautious fish one less reason to refuse.

Paddle Tail Action That Generates Real Pressure Waves

Even at low retrieve speeds, the boot-shaped paddle tail kicks and rolls, sending out lateral pressure waves that stimulate the lateral line of nearby predators. This makes the Clone Shad effective in both clear water — where visual realism closes the deal — and in coloured or stained water, where vibration does the work the eyes cannot.
