In lure fishing, brief pauses between actions like retrieving and twitching create a tantalizing moment that captures a fish’s attention and entices them to strike!
Introducing "FLASH BOOST," designed to leverage those critical short pauses to attract more fish. A reflective plate, suspended inside the lure by a spring, continues to reflect light even when the lure is motionless, drawing fish in effortlessly.
There are various techniques for working the lure, such as stop-and-go, twitching, and jerking, all of which incorporate strategic pauses to maximise effectiveness.
This pause gives fish the chance to strike, but they can become wary of stationary lures, recognising them as fake. Cautious squid, for example, may ignore a sinking egi or jig.
Along with intentional pauses, there are also instances when the lure unexpectedly halts. This can occur when waves lift a sea bass minnow, when changes in river flow or tidal movement affect the lure's resistance, or if an offshore pencil lure is mishandled, causing it to stop.
In these situations, the fish that was chasing the lure may lose interest and turn back.
When fishing, anglers might hesitate to place their lure amidst a school of fish surfacing or allow it to drift through turbulent white water. Even if they understand that keeping the lure still can be more effective, they often worry that it won't attract fish without some movement.
Designed to address these challenges for anglers, "FLASH BOOST" sparkles as it floats, effectively attracting fish. This allows anglers to leave it in place with confidence, eliminating the worry of having to move the lure.
The secret behind the structure of "FLASH BOOST" lies in its mirror-like reflective plate, securely held in place by a spring. This design optimises the flash to attract the target while maintaining exceptional durability.
The reflective plate vibrates with every movement of the lure, scattering light in all directions. As a result, even when the lure is stationary, the plate continues to sway, producing sparkling flashes that consistently attract fish.
FLASH BOOST is highly effective across various fishing scenarios.
When targeting sea bass, FLASH BOOST continues to draw the fish's attention even if the lure momentarily halts due to wave action.
During offshore fishing, FLASH BOOST excels at enticing tuna, particularly when the pencil lure comes to a standstill.
In surf fishing for flatfish, FLASH BOOST enhances the likelihood of bites while the lure sinks or floats.
For eging, or squid jigging, FLASH BOOST significantly increases the effectiveness of attracting squid during the initial descent after casting.
This impressive performance is made possible by FLASH BOOST's unique technology, which simultaneously delivers two crucial elements for enticing squid: “posture stability” and “appeal.”
FLASH BOOST is incredibly user-friendly, requiring no special techniques to utilize. Even when the lure comes to an unexpected halt, its lifelike sparkle continues to captivate fish, ensuring consistent attraction. This feature makes FLASH BOOST an invaluable asset for both novice and seasoned anglers alike.
FLASH BOOST is a revolutionary technology that fulfills every angler's dream by captivating fish even when the lure is stationary.
The enhanced appeal significantly boosts the chances of a strike, enticing fish to bite the lure whether it’s sinking or floating. Even when the lure unexpectedly slows down, its captivating sparkle continues to draw in fish.
FLASH BOOST is Shimano's game-changing innovation for all anglers.
Shimano's innovative technology, ARMABOOST, significantly enhances the casting distance and accuracy of larger baits that were once thought to have limited range.
The lure folds mid-air like an armadillo, significantly enhancing casting distance and providing precision control. With ARMABOOST, anglers can cast larger baits farther with accuracy, allowing for the recreation of natural fish movements in the water.
Shimano's “JET BOOST” features a revolutionary center of gravity shifting mechanism that ensures stable long casts and quick starts for the lure. This innovative technology empowers anglers to achieve impressive casting distances and catch fish effectively, regardless of their skill level.
Discover Shimano’s innovative “SCALE BOOST,” which gives your lure a lifelike shine that attracts even the most cautious fish. By combining hundreds of scales with varying sizes, brightness, angles, and reflections, it creates an irresistible lure that no fish can resist.
Shimano's reel design concept aims for “eternally smooth reeling.” The result is HAGANE. Shimano honed its proprietary metal processing technologies with precision cold-forging technology and refined them over many years to develop reels that only Shimano could deliver.
