Shimano Exsence Shallow Assassin 99F

The Shimano Exsence Shallow Assassin 99F is an innovative jerkbait, equipped with the unique “Flash Boost” feature, making this lure a one-of-a-kind for inshore spinning for Seabass and Bluefish.

The specially designed lip, enables the Shallow Assassin to move marginally under the water surface (10 – 30 cm), achieving a realistic posture, even against water currents, or windy conditions, in shallow waters and estuaries.

Shimano incorporated two, important technologies in the Exsence Shallow Assassin 99F. The Jet Boost system, delivers unrivalled distance casting performance, to reach fish feeding on baitfish shoals at a distance. It incorporates a spring-loaded piston into the lure. During casting, the piston moves to the lure’s tail, shifting the center of gravity, resulting in the shot reaching record distances. As soon as the bait falls in the water, the spring pushes the weight forward, transferring the center of gravity again, so that the swimming motion becomes natural and balance is restored, as the retrieval commences. In the end, the Shimano Exsence Shallow Assassin can achieve very long casts, improved

The compact size of the Shallow Assassin 99F, also features the exclusive Shimano Flash Boost technology in the body for increased attraction. The Flash Boost technology features an internal panel, which shimmers continuously. This Shimano patented system, uses a reflective mirror, suspended by micro springs, which harnesses light and UV rays, to attract squid throughout the water column. Even the mildest touch on a Shimano Flash Boost lure will trigger the reflective mirror. As a result the body’s kinetic energy, produces the continuous flashing effect, which is highly effective to nearby predators. When the retrieve of the lure is paused, it is then that predators are most likely to strike. Flash boost technology allows the Shimano lures to be visible from a long distance, regardless if the water is murky, or conditions are low light.

Furthermore, to fool keen sighted fish, Shimano’s holographic Kyorin / Scale Boost scale pattern completes the attractive power of this innovative floating jerkbait.
