About this piece
The Shimano Silent Assassin 99S Flash Boost is an all-rounder sinking minnow designed to perform in various situations. Unlike simply adding weight to a floating model, this lure features a redesigned mold and body tuning for optimal sinking action. Its wobbling roll action combined with Flash Boost technology ensures continuous appeal during retrieve, drift, and fall. With Jet Boost for long casts and quick startup, it's a versatile tool for serious anglers.
