Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad Softbait 1.5g 6.5cm Hot Brownie

Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad – Finesse Softbait Built for Zander

The Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad is a slim, squid-scented shad that brings natural action to the lightest presentations — ideal for zander in pressured waters and perch on the spin.

Slim Profile, Big Action

The Z-Shad's slender body pushes water efficiently and produces an enticing wobble even at minimal rod movement. The compact paddle tail generates tight, rhythmic vibrations that trigger reaction strikes from predators holding tight to structure or suspended in the water column.

Floating Formula for Rig Versatility

The buoyant material keeps the tail lifted and active when the lure pauses, turning any static moment into a strike opportunity. This floating action makes the Z-Shad especially effective on Dropshot, Texas, and Carolina rigs, where the bait hovers temptingly above bottom snags. The squid aroma adds an extra layer of attraction for zander and perch.

Choose the Right Variant

The Z-Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to cover different water conditions, target depths, and species preferences. Select weight and colour based on your rig, depth, and target fish.
