Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 9cm UV Zander

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Ultrarealistic Soft Bait for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in UV Zander at 9 cm is a precision-crafted paddle-tail soft bait designed to trigger strikes from zander, perch, pike, and other predators across a wide range of water conditions.

3D-Printed Form with Photo-Realistic Finish

The body shape was developed using a 3D printer, resulting in a lifelike baitfish profile that goes well beyond standard soft bait moulding. A 3D photo print design mimicking the target species adds a visual accuracy that wary predators find hard to ignore — particularly effective in clear water where fish get a close look before committing.

Paddle Tail That Generates Pressure Waves

The paddle tail produces a natural, rolling swimming action alongside lateral pressure waves that predators detect through their lateral line. This combination of visual and sensory triggers makes the lure effective even in low-visibility or coloured water, where pure visual attraction is limited. The UV Zander colour adds an extra dimension of contrast under UV light conditions common in deeper or overcast fishing environments.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Clone Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to cover different species, water conditions, and fishing methods. Larger sizes suit pike and trophy zander; smaller sizes are ideal for perch fishing or finesse approaches.
