Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad Softbait 7cm 1.5g Bloody Minnow

Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad — Lifelike Action That Triggers Strikes

The Balzer Shirasu Reptile Shad is a versatile soft plastic (softbait) designed for active predator fishing on pike, perch, and zander. With its distinctive shad tail and UV-reactive tip, it draws attention even in low-visibility conditions.

Fluttering Tail Action That Works at Any Retrieve Speed

The long, swept shad tail produces a wide, fluttering wobble that mimics a fleeing baitfish with minimal angler effort. Even at very slow retrieve speeds — ideal for cold water or pressured fish — the lure maintains a seductive, lifelike action that triggers reaction strikes from cautious predators.

UV-Active Tail Tips for Extra Attraction

The tail tips of the Reptile Shad are UV-active, giving the lure a subtle, high-contrast glow under natural and UV light. This additional trigger point is especially effective in coloured water, overcast conditions, or at depth where ambient light is reduced — helping predators home in on the lure from a greater distance.
