Big Name Casting Lure with Flash Boost
OCEA Head Dip from SHIMANO is one of the big name lure for big casting game fishing, which is tested hundreds of thousands of times for kingfish, tuna, GT and more by professional anglers and that became famous, especially for Tuna casting fishing in Japan.
It dives well, and swims really well, especially for Tuna boiling the big fat body makes good appeal and action that looks like real weakened baits attacked by fish, and have caught lots of big monster fish by anglers.
Now one of the biggest lure feature of SHIMANO in this year “Flash Boost” is featured to this big name lure.
How “Flash Boost” works – it has one flashy metal board inside clear part of lures, with easy-bouncing spring. When the lure moves by anything like casting, streamflows, waves, currents, retrieving, it then starts shaking and flashing. This movement keeps on and on even the lure stops, and the flashing can lead fish bites even the lure is stopped.
So, especially in the case when fish is not highly motivated to bite, leave it stay for a while after you cast the lure… The lure itself can bang bites for you.
This Flash Boost is also installed to Seabass lure Shallow Assassin 99F Flash Boost as well.
Weight Shift AR-C and Whole Body Wire
As it is designed to casting game fishing AR-C casting system is installed, which the tungsten weight inside lures change positions differently in casting / reeling to achive both longer casting distance and centre balanced swimmings.
