Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 24cm 50g Albino

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Softbait That Triggers Predators in Any Conditions

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile softbait (soft plastic lure) designed for active predator fishing, delivering an enticing fluttering action that works from the first metre of retrieve, even at the slowest speeds.

Fluttering Tail Action That Predators Can't Ignore

The Reptile Shad's distinctive long jig tail generates a pronounced fluttering action on every retrieve. Whether you're crawling it across the bottom or winding steadily mid-water, the tail pulses and shimmies with every tiny change in speed or direction — mimicking an easy meal without any rod-tip tricks required.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Drawing Power

The tail tips are UV-active, adding a subtle glow effect that increases visibility and appeal in low-light conditions, murky water, or at depth. This additional trigger gives the Albino colour a bright, reactive flash that can make the difference on tough days when fish are cautious or the light is fading.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Reptile Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match species, conditions, and fishing styles. Use smaller sizes for perch and lighter jig heads in clearer water; step up to larger sizes for pike and zander, trolling from a boat, or fishing heavy current.
