About this piece
The Shimano Sephia Clinch Flash Boost 1.8 (QE-X18W) is a compact squid jig engineered for targeting small cephalopods such as spear squid, swordtip squid, and the popular hiika (pygmy squid). Equipped with Shimano's Flash Boost and Scale Boost technologies, it delivers irresistible attraction even in low-light night conditions.
Key features
- Flash Boost mechanism: internal spring-suspended mirror plate creates continuous micro-flashing during pauses, falls, and drifts.
- Scale Boost holographic finish mimics realistic baitfish scales for enhanced underwater reflection.
- Sharp darting action on jerks, followed by a slow, seductive sink rate (3.5 s/m) to maximize appeal.
- Fine, ultra-sharp hooks ensure solid hook sets on soft-bodied squid.
- Compact 1.8-size body ideal for light tackle and small squid species.
Best for
- Night-time eging for spear squid, swordtip squid, and pygmy squid.
- Hiika (pygmy squid) games with ultra-light tackle in sheltered bays and harbors.
