Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 17cm Salt'n Pepper

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 17cm Salt'n Pepper — UV-Active Strike Points for Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is a versatile soft plastic shad built for active predator fishing — equally effective when jigged, worked slowly, or retrieved on a spinning setup. At 17cm, the Salt'n Pepper colour is a proven big-bait choice when pike and zander are the primary target.

UV-Active Bite Points That Work in Any Visibility

Eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin are UV-active and visually separated from the body colour, creating three distinct strike-point triggers. This contrast is especially effective in coloured or murky water, where UV fluorescence remains visible to predators at distances where a plain lure would disappear — but it performs just as well in clear conditions.

Seductive Action Across Multiple Techniques

The Booster Shad is designed for jigging, slow-rolling, and conventional spinning, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and fish behaviour. The tail produces an enticing swimming action that draws strikes from pike, zander, and perch across a range of retrieve speeds.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shirasu Booster Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match your target species and water conditions. Selecting the right combination improves results significantly.

• 6cm — perch-focused finesse fishing; works well on light jig heads in clear, shallow water

• 10cm — all-round size for perch and zander; versatile across most conditions

• 13cm — stepping up for zander and smaller pike; good choice for medium-depth jigging

• 17cm / Salt'n Pepper — large-profile bait for pike and big zander; the neutral Salt'n Pepper tone suits clear to lightly coloured water and bright conditions

• Colours such as UV Perch, Fire Shark, and Chartreuse Motoroil offer high-visibility options for darker or stained water; Hot Olive and Pike suit natural, pressured environments
