Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 9cm Zander

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Predator-Fooling Realism in 9 cm

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad is a 9 cm soft plastic lure (Gummifisch) designed specifically for active predator fishing — built for anglers who want lifelike action without compromise.

3D-Printed Form with Photo-Realistic Finish

The body shape was developed using a 3D printer, producing proportions that closely mimic a real baitfish. A 3D photo print design adds species-accurate color and detail, giving the lure a visual authenticity that cautious predators in clear water find hard to resist.

Paddle Tail Action That Triggers Strikes

The paddle tail generates pressure waves on every retrieve, delivering a natural swimming motion that stimulates the lateral line of nearby pike, perch, and zander. This combination of realistic movement and subtle vibration makes the lure effective in both clear and coloured water conditions, whether you are jigging, drop-shotting (lazy-style), or spinning.

Choose the Right Variant

The Clone Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match different species, water conditions, and fishing setups. Select the combination that fits your target fish and situation:

• Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad 9 cm — Zander: Medium search size; Zander colour with paddle tail — ideal for jigging and slow rolling over structured ground when targeting zander and perch
