NEW SP-ORCA FB 150S SINKING STICKBAITS INTRODUCE SHIMANO’S ‘FLASH BOOST’ TECHNOLOGY TO ITS SALTWATER LURE LINE-UP
LADSON, S.C. – ICAST 2020 Introduction – Now Available – Taking the next step in its saltwater lure line-up, Shimano brings its innovative ‘Flash Boost’ technology to a new offering of SP-ORCA FB 150S sinking pencil baits. Offered in six colors primarily to target tuna and other pelagic species, the Flash Boost technology allows the lure to constantly emit an attractive flash.
The SP-ORCA FB 150S (150mm length – 5-7/8-inches; 72 grams weight – 2-1/2-ounces) has a side-to-side wobble while it sinks, while the ‘Flash Boost’ reflective foil suspended on springs inside the lure puts off a fish-attracting shine. “Essentially, the lure still maintains its action even when not being work,” said Adam Lytton with Shimano’s product planning team, “while the location of the Flash Boost is designed to mimic the actions of a dying, quivering baitfish.”
Equipped with Shimano’s Propulsion Weight Transfer System for exceptional long-distance casting, where an internal weight slides back during the cast and then springs forward when the lure hits the water. The SP-ORCA FB 150S offers anglers durability with its through-wire construction and all six SP-ORCA FB 150S pencil baits feature Shimano’s Kyorin lifelike holographic design. Colors offered include Blue Pink, Blue Sardine, Flying Fish, Green Mackerel, Halfbeak, and Injured Sardine.
“While bluefin tuna anglers will appreciate the effectiveness of the SP-ORCA FB 150S baits, they are equally deadly on other tuna species along with mahi and wahoo,” Lytton notes. “In all our field-testing, using low, slow sweeps of the rod seems to trigger the most action.” For more information on the new SP-OCRA FB 150S sinking pencil baits – and to buy locally, visit the Shimano web site http://fish.shimano.com.
