Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad Softbait 1.5g 6.5cm Green Tomato

Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad — Slim Softbait That Rises to the Occasion

The Balzer Shirasu Z-Shad is a 6.5 cm, 1.5 g floating shad built for finesse presentations targeting zander and perch. Its slender profile and compact paddle tail trigger bites even on the subtlest rod movements.

Natural Rise, Relentless Action

Thanks to its floating buoyancy, the Z-Shad lifts enticingly off the bottom during pauses — a deadly trick on pressured fish. Even the lightest twitch is enough to send the compact tail into motion, creating a lifelike shimmer that imitates injured prey without any angler effort.

Squid Scent Built In

Every Z-Shad is impregnated with squid aroma, giving predators an extra reason to hold on after the strike. The scent works alongside the visual action, making this lure effective in coloured water or low-visibility conditions where sight alone may not seal the deal.
