Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad Softbait 9cm BlMin

Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad — Realistic 9 cm Softbait for Active Predator Fishing

The Balzer Shirasu Clone Shad in BlMin (Blue Minnow) at 9 cm is a precision-crafted soft plastic lure designed for anglers who want to trigger predators in a wide range of water conditions — from crystal-clear lakes to murky rivers.

3D-Printed Mould for Lifelike Proportions

The body shape of the Clone Shad was developed using a 3D printer, resulting in an exceptionally true-to-life profile that closely mimics a real baitfish. This precision geometry gives the lure natural, fluid movement in the water that hand-carved or injection-moulded imitations often struggle to match.

3D Photo Print Design and Paddle Tail Action

A detailed 3D Photo Print finish replicates the coloration and scale pattern of natural prey fish, making the lure convincing even to wary predators in clear water. The paddle tail generates pressure waves as it works through the water, adding low-frequency vibration that attracts pike, perch, zander, and other predatory species — even when visibility is limited in coloured or turbid conditions.

Choose the Right Variant

The Clone Shad is available in a broad range of sizes and colours to match different target species, water conditions, and fishing techniques. Select based on your quarry and presentation style:

• BlMin 9 cm — the current variant; a versatile mid-size option in Blue Minnow, effective for perch and zander; suitable for jigging, drop-shotting, and spinning in both clear and moderately coloured water

• BlMin 6.5 cm — compact BlMin for finesse perch and zander fishing in pressured or clear water

• BlMin 15 cm — larger BlMin profile with paddle tail; targets pike and big zander, well-suited to jigging and slow-rolling

• UV Trout 6.5 cm / UV Trout 9 cm — UV-reactive trout pattern; effective in low-light or deeper water for perch and zander

• UV Perch 6.5 cm / UV Perch 9 cm / UV Perch 12 cm / UV Perch 15 cm / UV Perch 18 cm — UV perch pattern across a full size range; covers finesse to big-predator presentations

• UV Zander 6.5 cm / UV Zander 9 cm / UV Zander 18 cm — UV zander coloration; ideal for targeting zander in deeper, darker water

• UV Roach 6.5 cm / UV Roach 15 cm — UV roach pattern; excellent all-round colour for mixed predator fishing
