Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 7cm 1.5g UV Pike

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — UV-Active Softbait That Triggers Strikes at Slow Speeds

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft plastic (softbait) shad designed for active predator fishing. At 7 cm and 1.5 g, this compact lure pairs perfectly with light jig heads for finesse presentations targeting perch, pike, and zander.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Triggering Power

The UV Pike colour features tail tips with UV-reactive material that glow under ultraviolet light conditions. This additional visual stimulus can make a critical difference in low-light situations, stained water, or on days when predators are following without committing.

Enticing Action Even at Very Slow Retrieve Speeds

The elongated shad tail is specifically shaped to flutter and vibrate with a highly seductive action — even when retrieved slowly or when the lure is barely moving during a dead-drop or pause. This makes it effective for both steady retrieves and jigging along the bottom, whether casting from the bank or trolling from a boat.
