Squid fishing enthusiasts have been buzzing with excitement over Shimano's newest offering - the Sephia Clinch Flash Boost and Rattle series of squid jigs. With the prime squidding season upon us in many regions, it's the perfect time to equip yourself with these innovative jigs and maximize your success on the water.
Flash Boost & Rattle: Unleashing Unparalleled Attraction
What sets the Sephia Clinch Flash Boost jigs apart is their revolutionary Flash Boost technology, which truly changes the game and entices squids like never before. These jigs feature an internal mirror that constantly moves and flashes due to kinetic energy when in use. This creates eye-catching flashes that mimic the natural reflection of sunlight on silver flanked fish. Imagine the flickering of a school of baitfish or the movements of a wounded fish, these flashes mimic those signals and act as beacons for hungry predators. Squids are drawn to these visual cues and will be lured towards your jig, mistaking it for a distressed baitfish and an easy meal.
The Sephia Clinch Rattle, on the other hand, capitalizes on another important triggering factor for squid - sound. These jigs contain ball-filled chambers that create a rattling noise, coupled with high contrast colours that stand out in any water or light conditions. This combination proves to be irresistible to squids and complements the Flash Boost technology perfectly.

Day or Night, the Choice is Yours
The Flash Boost and Rattle jigs are not only effective under bright sunlight; they have also proven to be deadly during the darkest nights or low light conditions, which are prime feeding times for squids in specific locations. Their glowing parts ensure visibility and effectiveness in all lighting situations, providing you with an edge regardless of the time of day.
Gear Up for Success
Squid fishing is known for its simplicity, attracting countless anglers with its low-fuss yet productive nature. With just a rod, reel, a selection of jigs, and some leader material, you can fill up your bucket with squid. When it comes to outfit selection, opt for a light and balanced Shimano setup that allows for smooth casting and enables you to add enticing movements to your jigs.
Rod lengths between 6'6" to 7'2" are a safe starting point, such as the Shimano Jewel 721 1-4kg or Zodias 270UL paired with a 1000 to 2500 Stradic reel. This combination offers versatility and optimum performance. Power Pro braid between 2-5kg will suffice, although lighter options are preferable unless you anticipate frequently dislodging jigs from thick weed or similar obstacles. For leader strength, consider Ocea Fluorocarbon, striking a balance between stealth and durability.
To enhance your squid fishing experience, consider investing in storage systems like Shimano's Egi Case and Sephia Egi Pouch. These cases not only display your Flash Boost and Rattle jigs conveniently but also facilitate quick size and colour changes when necessary. They also offer protection for the delicate prongs on the jigs and enable easy drying and cleaning for storage. Additionally, it's useful to have a spare spool of leader and quality braid/leader snips like Shimano's JDM Pliers or Power PE Braid Scissors to handle any rigging or maintenance requirements. If you need extra reach for landing squids, an Environet or a dedicated extendable squid gaff can be valuable additions.
