Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D 6cm 4g

Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D – Lifelike Softbait for Pike and Zander

The Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D is a soft plastic lure (Gummifisch) built around one idea: fool even the wariest predators with a finish so realistic it's hard to tell from the real thing.

3D Photo Print with UV-Sealed Finish

Each shad is decorated using a 3D printing process that replicates the precise colour patterns and scales of natural baitfish — including perch, roach, and pike imitations. The finish is then sealed with a UV lacquer, locking in the detail and protecting the print from wear so the lure keeps looking natural cast after cast.

Irresistible Roll and Flank Action

When retrieved, the body rolls and flashes its flanks in a wide, deliberate motion that mimics an injured or fleeing baitfish. This movement works at a range of retrieve speeds and triggers reaction strikes from pike and zander that would ignore a less convincing presentation.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D is available in two sizes and several colours. Match your choice to the target species, water conditions, and rigging style:

• 6 cm / 4 g — no colour specified (current product): compact profile, ideal for drop-shot, light jig heads, and finesse spinning for zander and perch in clear or moderate-visibility water

• 6 cm / 4 g — Gründling: gudgeon imitation; strong choice for zander in rivers with natural whitebait forage

• 6 cm / 4 g — Barsch bloody: perch pattern with added red accents; effective in coloured water or low-light conditions

• 6 cm / 4 g — Zander: zander-specific colour; confidence pattern when targeting zander in their own habitat

• 6 cm / 4 g — (719802, no colour specified): same compact size, versatile for mixed predator sessions

• 10 cm / 7 g — Zander: larger profile for bigger zander or pike; suits medium jig heads and steady retrieves

• 10 cm / 7 g — Weissfisch: whitefish/roach pattern; covers pike and large zander feeding on silver baitfish

• 10 cm / 7 g — Hecht: pike-pattern colour; a natural choice when targeting pike in weedy or clear water

• 23 cm / 75 g: large specimen lure for trophy pike; pairs with heavy jig heads, big swimbait hooks, or slow-roll presentations in open water

• Additional variants (802637–802642, 719802): colour or spec not specified — check product listing for details
