Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D 6cm 4g

Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D — Lifelike 6 cm Soft Bait for Pike and Zander

The Balzer Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D is a soft plastic (Gummifisch) lure that combines cutting-edge 3D print technology with an UV-sealed finish to produce uncannily realistic baitfish imitations — built to tempt even the wariest predators.

Photorealistic 3D Print Finish

Each shad is decorated using a precision 3D printing process that replicates the fine scale patterns, colouration and detail of real baitfish — from small perch and roach to pike. The finish is then locked in with a UV lacquer, protecting the print and adding an extra flash that draws attention in clear and coloured water alike.

Enticing Roll and Flank Action

As the lure is retrieved, it rolls naturally onto its flanks, creating a side-flash that triggers the predatory instinct in pike and zander. This built-in movement means the shad performs at slow retrieves, on the drop and during pauses — giving you flexibility across a wide range of techniques.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Photo Print Shad 3D is available in several sizes and colours. Compact sizes work well on zander and perch in tighter spots, while larger sizes cover more water for pike.

• 6 cm / 4 g — no colour specified (current product): compact all-round size; suits zander and perch; ideal for jigging, drop-shotting or slow rolling in rivers and lakes

• 6 cm / 4 g — Gründling: gudgeon pattern; natural match-the-hatch colour for clear water

• 6 cm / 4 g — Zander: zander-print colour; strong side-flash for low-light or coloured water

• 6 cm / 4 g — Barsch bloody: perch pattern with red accents; effective trigger colour for aggressive strikes

• 10 cm / 7 g — Weissfisch: whitefish pattern; mid-size option for zander and pike in open water

• 10 cm / 7 g — Zander: zander print at a larger profile; excellent for bigger river zander
