Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 7cm 1.5g Arkansas Shiner

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Fluttering Action for Predator Success

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft plastic (softbait) built for active predator fishing. Whether you're working a jig head along the bottom or trolling from a boat, this shad-style lure earns strikes from the first retrieve.

UV-Active Tail That Triggers Bites

The Reptile Shad's tail tips are UV-active, adding an extra layer of attraction in murky water, low-light conditions, and at depth. This subtle visual trigger complements the lure's natural movement and can make the difference on pressured fish or tough days.

Seductive Action at Any Retrieve Speed

The long jig tail produces a pronounced fluttering, fish-calling action even at very slow retrieves — ideal for cold-water periods when predators are sluggish. Cast from the bank or troll from a boat; simply reel it straight or jig it along the bottom for pike, perch, and zander across all seasons and conditions.
