About this piece
The Shimano Exsence Blast Shad 170F is a big minnow designed to target sea bass holding beneath bait balls. It dives specifically to 80-100cm, a slightly deeper range than typical shallow-running minnows, enabling direct strikes from fish suspended below the surface. The floating type provides strong visual and vibrational appeal on retrieve.
