Daiwa PX Belly Shad

Daiwa PX Belly Shad is a compact soft bait developed for targeting perch and zander in European waters. The 90° angled paddle tail creates a clear flanking and wobbling action, even on slow retrieve, making it effective when fish are cautious or pressured.

The high, compact body profile improves casting distance and cuts through wind, while closely matching the silhouette of natural prey such as small perch and roach. This makes it a reliable choice for Stillwater, rivers and channels, whether you fish it on a jig head, shallow screw or similar rig.

The PX Belly Shad range covers 10 colours, from natural baitfish patterns to more eye-catching, flashy options, allowing you to adapt easily to water clarity and light conditions. Painted eyes add an extra strike trigger, and the body is made without phthalate plasticisers, appealing to anglers looking for a more modern soft bait material.
