Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 24cm 50g Regenbogenforelle

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Big-Profile Softbait That Triggers Predators at Any Speed

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft lure (Gummifisch) designed for active predator fishing on pike, perch, and zander. Whether you're casting from the bank or trolling from a boat, this shad delivers a seductive action right out of the box.

Fluttering Tail That Works Even on the Slowest Retrieve

The long jig tail of the Reptile Shad kicks and flutters with every twitch of the rod or turn of the reel handle, creating lifelike movement that draws reaction strikes. Crucially, the lure already performs at very low retrieve speeds, making it equally effective when fish are sluggish in cold water or under high-pressure conditions.

UV-Active Tail Tips for an Extra Trigger Effect

The tail tips of the Reptile Shad are UV-active, adding a subtle but potent visual trigger that is invisible to the human eye yet highly stimulating to predatory fish. This feature makes the lure stand out in coloured water, low-light conditions, or at depth, giving it an edge when more conventional colours fail to produce.
