The SHIMANO EXSENCE SILENT ASSASSIN 129F FLASH BOOST is a floating minnow featuring the proven 129 mm-class body and a Flash Boost mechanism that continues to flash even when the lure is stationary. Inside the body, a mirror plate is suspended by a spring, allowing it to move with subtle vibrations caused by rod action and water flow. This produces reflective appeal not only during the retrieve, but also when the lure is allowed to drift with the current.
It also features Jet Boost, which supports the moving weight with a through shaft and spring to help achieve high initial casting speed, stable flight, and a quick swimming action after splashdown. The 129F is a floating model measuring 129 mm in length and weighing 24 g, with a manufacturer-stated casting distance of 64 m. Its swimming posture is set at 12 degrees, and it is designed for easy control even in flowing water, with a specified flow speed starting at 47 cm/sec. It can be used with a steady retrieve as its basic presentation, while in current seams or areas where baitfish gather, stopping the retrieve and allowing the lure to drift while triggering strikes with the Flash Boost reflections is also effective. It is equipped with three #5 treble hooks.
