About this piece
The Shimano Exsence Silent Assassin 129S Flashboost is a sinking minnow engineered for aggressive shore game and offshore fishing. Its innovative Flashboost technology uses a spring-suspended mirror plate inside the body to produce rapid, continuous flashing—even when the lure is still—enticing strikes during pauses and in strong daylight. The lure features Shimano's ultra-realistic Crazy Scales hologram, with the Strong Scales variant in color 007 F Black for enhanced visibility. The body has been completely redesigned for increased strength, allowing it to handle the power of a 5000XG reel and PE2 line without losing its swimbait action.
