Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 7cm 1.5g

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Finesse Softbait That Works at Any Retrieve Speed

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft plastic (softbait) designed for predator fishing across a wide range of conditions — equally at home cast from the bank or trolled from a boat.

Tail Action That Triggers Bites

The long, flexible jig tail produces a seductive fluttering action that entices strikes even at very slow retrieve speeds. This makes the Reptile Shad especially effective when fish are lethargic or in colder water, where an aggressive presentation would be ignored.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Attraction

The tail tips are UV-active, giving off an additional visual signal in low-light conditions, murky water, or deep dives where natural light fades. This built-in trigger complements the shad's movement and helps predators home in on the lure from a distance.

Choose the Right Variant

The Reptile Shad is available in multiple sizes and colours to match different species, water conditions, and setups. Select based on your target fish and rig:

• 7 cm / 1.5 g — compact size for perch and zander on light jig heads; also effective for finesse pike fishing in clear water. Available colours include Regenbogenforelle, Weissfisch, Arkansas Shiner, Bloody Minnow, Chartreuse Motoroil, Salt'n Pepper, and UV Pike, among others.

• 11 cm / 6 g — mid-size option in Blue Arctic and Weissfisch; covers zander and pike in most standard jigging and trolling scenarios.

• 24 cm / 50 g — large profile for trophy pike and big zander; available in Albino, Regenbogenforelle, and Salt'n Pepper with fluttering tail action.
