Shimano Exsence Strong Ass AR-C Flash Boost is a series of saltwater lures designed primarily for sea bass fishing. Their slim profile, excellent casting performance and pronounced action make them well suited to actively covering large, shallow areas.
On a steady retrieve, the lure produces a tight swimming action with strong side flashes. When twitched, it makes pronounced long glides, allowing the angler to easily vary the presentation and trigger predatory fish.
The SHIMANO AR-C casting system improves casting distance, which is especially useful when fishing from shore. FLASH BOOST technology produces additional flashes of light, while the Kyorin 3D hologram imitates the appearance of fish scales. The lures are also fitted with treble hooks suitable for saltwater use.
The range includes the floating 125F weighing 25 g, with a running depth of approximately 40–70 cm, and the sinking 125S weighing 27 g. Both versions measure 12.5 cm.
Although developed primarily for saltwater fishing and sea bass, the series can also be used in freshwater for pike, larger perch and zander.
