Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 7cm 1.5g Salt'n Pepper

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Versatile Softbait for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a finely tuned soft plastic (Gummifisch) designed for active predator fishing. Whether you're working rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, this shad delivers a seductive action that triggers strikes even from reluctant fish.

UV-Active Tail That Triggers Strikes

The elongated jig tail produces a fluttering, lifelike action on the retrieve — and the UV-active tail tips add an extra dimension of attraction in low-light conditions, murky water, or whenever fish need that additional visual cue to commit.

Effective at Slow Retrieve Speeds

One of the Reptile Shad's standout qualities is its performance at very slow retrieval speeds. Even when barely twitched or crawled along the bottom, the tail keeps working, making it an excellent choice for cold-water periods or pressured fish that won't chase a fast-moving lure.

Choose the Right Variant

The Reptile Shad is available across multiple sizes and colours to match different species, conditions, and setups. Select the combination that best fits your target fish and water.

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — Salt'n Pepper (current): compact dropshot or light jig head size; ideal for perch in clear to lightly coloured water; neutral, natural tone works well in pressured venues

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — UV Pike: same compact size with a high-visibility colour; suited to pike and perch in stained or low-light conditions

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — Arkansas Shiner: natural baitfish finish for perch and zander in clear water

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — Bloody Minnow: contrast colour effective for perch and pike when fish are aggressive

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — Chartreuse Motoroil: high-visibility option for zander and perch in coloured or deep water
