Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad 6cm Blue Artic

Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad — UV-Active Soft Lure That Triggers Predators in Any Visibility

The Balzer Shirasu Booster Shad is a versatile soft plastic shad designed for active predator fishing — equally at home on the jig, drifted slowly along the bottom, or worked on a classic spinning retrieve.

Three UV-Active Bite Points for More Strikes

The eyes, pectoral fins, and tail fin of the Booster Shad are UV-active and colour-contrasted against the body finish. This creates clearly defined bite points that give predators a focus for attack — especially effective in coloured or murky water where conventional colour contrasts lose their impact. Even at greater depths or longer casting distances, fish can pick up these UV cues with ease.

Seductive Action Across All Retrieve Styles

Whether you jig it vertically, deadstick it on a drop-shot or Carolina rig, or retrieve it steadily through open water, the Booster Shad's body profile and flexible tail produce a natural, enticing movement. The combination of realistic fin detail and a lively swimming action makes it effective for pike, zander, and perch across a wide range of water types and conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Booster Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match the hatch and target species. Select your combination based on the situation:

• 6 cm / Blue Artic — compact and subtle; ideal for perch and zander in clear water or when fish are finicky; also a good drop-shot option

• 6 cm / Chartreuse Motoroil — high-visibility; strong in off-colour water for perch and zander

• 6 cm / Salt'n Pepper — natural, versatile; works for all three target species in clear to lightly coloured water

• 6 cm / Hot Olive — natural baitfish tone; reliable all-rounder for perch

• 6 cm / UV Perch — perch-pattern UV colour; great for perch and zander in variable light

• 6 cm / Fire Shark — strong contrast; useful in murky conditions

• 6 cm / Pike — pike-pattern finish; suited for pike in weedy or structured water

• 6 cm / Arkansas Shiner — shiner imitation; perch and zander in clear lakes

• 6 cm / Pink Motoroil — trigger colour; zander and perch when standard colours are ignored

• 6 cm / Metallica — metallic flash; effective in deeper, darker water

• 6 cm / Chartreuse Lime — maximum visibility; murky or stained water

• 6 cm / Amber — warm natural tone; clear water, finesse presentations

• 10 cm / Hot Olive, Pink Motoroil, Salt'n Pepper, Fire Shark, Pike — mid-size step up; targets larger zander and pike

• 13 cm / UV Perch, Salt'n Pepper — larger profile for pike and trophy zander

• 17 cm / Hot Olive, Salt'n Pepper — big-bait option; primarily for pike
