Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 11cm 6g Blue Arctic

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Irresistible Action for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft plastic (softbait) lure designed for active predator fishing, delivering a seductive fluttering action that triggers strikes even at very slow retrieves.

Fluttering Tail That Triggers Strikes

The Reptile Shad's distinctive long jig tail produces a natural, fluttering swimming action from the very first turn of the reel. Even at ultra-slow retrieval speeds, the lure comes alive — making it ideal for cold-water situations or when fish are sluggish and need a little extra persuasion.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Attraction

The tail tips are UV-active, adding a subtle glow effect that increases visibility and appeal in low-light conditions, stained water, or overcast skies. This built-in trigger gives the lure an edge when natural colours alone aren't enough to draw predators in.

Choose the Right Variant

The Reptile Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match the species, conditions, and presentation you need:

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — compact size, ideal for perch in rivers and lakes; also effective for smaller predators and finesse jigging setups (colours include: Arkansas Shiner, Bloody Minnow, Chartreuse Motoroil, Regenbogenforelle, Salt'n Pepper, UV Pike, Weissfisch, and others)

• 11 cm / 6 g — Blue Arctic — mid-range size suited to perch, zander (pikeperch), and pike; versatile for shore casting and boat trolling; the Blue Arctic colour offers strong contrast and UV-enhanced tail for clear to slightly coloured water (current variant)

• 11 cm / 6 g — Weissfisch — same mid-range size, natural baitfish colour for pressured fish or clear-water conditions

• 24 cm / 50 g — large-format shad for targeting big pike; heavy enough for deep jigging and long casts; available in Albino, Regenbogenforelle, and Salt'n Pepper
