Shimano Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost 2.5 Squid Jig Lure

A hyper-realistic prawn imitation designed to trigger aggressive strikes from even the smartest squid.

The Shimano Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost 2.5 is purpose-built for squid anglers who demand the perfect blend of realism, movement, and cutting-edge innovation. Designed to imitate a natural prawn with striking accuracy, this lure features a translucent body, true-to-life shell texture and anatomical shaping that appeals directly to a squid’s hunting instincts.

Whether you're working shallow weed beds, breakwalls, or deeper inshore reefs, the Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost maintains irresistible action—even on the pause. The Flash Boost mirror plate delivers continuous micro-flashes that mimic injured bait, drawing squid in and holding their attention longer. Combined with the famed Clinch series balance and sink control, this jig lets you present your lure with precision and confidence in any condition.

Perfect for anglers chasing calamari, southern reef squid and arrow squid along Australia’s coasts, especially when the bite is slow or the water is ultra-clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Flash Boost technology better for squid fishing?
Flash Boost produces constant micro-flashes using a suspended mirror plate. Even when the jig is paused, it keeps flashing like a wounded prawn, holding the squid’s attention longer and increasing hook-up rates.

Is the 2.5 size good for all conditions?
Yes — the 2.5 size is one of the most versatile for Australian squidding. It excels in shallow water, sheltered bays and calm conditions where a more subtle sink rate and realistic profile are key.

What rod and line setup works best with this lure?
A dedicated egi rod (7'–8'6") paired with a 2500–3000 spin reel, PE 0.6–1.0 braid and a 6–12lb leader offers the best sensitivity and control for working the Clinch Prawn effectively.

How should I work this jig?
Use short, sharp lifts to activate the Flash Boost plate, then let the jig glide back down. Most squid strike on the fall when the lure appears most vulnerable.
