Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 24cm 50g Salt'n Pepper

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Big-Profile Softbait That Triggers Predators at Any Speed

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile softbait (soft plastic lure) built for active predator fishing — effective from the bank or the boat, in a wide range of conditions and seasons.

A Fluttering Tail That Works Even Dead Slow

The long jig tail of the Reptile Shad produces a pronounced flattering action on the retrieve. What sets it apart is how little speed it needs to come alive — even a very slow retrieve or a gentle lift-and-drop jig triggers the enticing swimming motion that makes pike, perch, and zander commit.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Attraction

The tail tips feature UV-active material that reacts under natural and UV light, adding a visual trigger that can make a real difference in coloured water, low-light conditions, or whenever fish need an extra prompt to strike. This passive attraction works alongside the movement — not instead of it.

Choose the Right Variant

The Reptile Shad is available in three size classes and multiple colours. Match size and colour to your target species, water conditions, and rigging preference.

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — Light finesse size for perch and smaller zander; suits drop-shot, light jig heads, and rivers with moderate flow. Available in: Arkansas Shiner, Bloody Minnow, Chartreuse Motoroil, Regenbogenforelle, Salt'n Pepper, UV Pike, Weissfisch, and further colours.

• 11 cm / 6 g — Mid-range all-rounder; perch, zander, and smaller pike; versatile for bank and boat jigging. Available in: Blue Arctic, Weissfisch, and further colours.

• 24 cm / 50 g — Salt'n Pepper — Large predator size designed for pike, big zander, and trophy perch; ideal for trolling from a boat or long casts with heavy jig heads from the bank. The Salt'n Pepper colour offers a natural grey-white minnow imitation with subtle contrast — effective in clear to lightly coloured water.
