Shimano Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost 3.0 Squid Jig Lure

Built to trigger aggressive squid strikes with lifelike prawn realism, continuous flash, and reliable sinking performance.

The Shimano Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost 3.0 is purpose-built for squid anglers who demand precision, realism, and consistent performance across varied inshore conditions. Designed to imitate one of a squid’s most irresistible food sources — a live prawn — this premium jig excels when fished over broken reef, weed beds, shallow edges, and deeper drop-offs.

Its translucent body and prawn-shell texture deliver a natural look and tactile feel, encouraging squid to latch on and hold. Shimano’s innovative Flash Boost system provides constant micro-flashes inside the lure, vibrating and reflecting light even when paused — a major advantage during slow drifts or when squid are hesitant. With its balanced 3.0 profile and controlled 3-second-per-metre sink rate, this jig offers excellent depth control and a confident, predictable fall that keeps you in the strike zone longer.

Whether you’re targeting southern calamari, arrow squid, or tropical cephalopods, the Sephia Clinch Prawn Flash Boost helps you convert more follows into solid hook-ups. Perfect your presentation, cover water efficiently, and fish with confidence on every cast.

Product Features

• Flash Boost Reflective Plate – Continuous flash to attract squid even on the pause.
  A suspended mirror plate uses vibration and rod movement to create ongoing flashes that draw squid in during active retrieves and drift periods.

• Translucent Prawn Body – Ultra-realistic visual profile in clear or stained water.
  Mimics the natural glow and shape of a real prawn, increasing your chances when squid are hunting close to structure.

• Rough-Texture Shell Finish – Encourages deeper, longer tentacle grabs.
  The tactile prawn-shell coating feels natural in a squid’s grip, improving hook-up rates when they commit to the strike.

• Balanced 3.0 Weighting – Controlled sink for precision zone fishing.
  The 3-second-per-metre fall rate keeps the jig suspended perfectly for targeting squid sitting mid-water or hugging the bottom.

• High-Strength Needles – Secure penetration with minimal leverage.
  Durable, sharp stainless needles help maintain solid hook sets on large calamari and aggressive arrows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I use a 3.0 size squid jig?
A: A 3.0 jig is ideal for general-purpose Egi fishing in 3–12 metres of water, offering excellent casting distance and a controlled sink rate that suits most Australian inshore squid habitats.

Q: Is the Flash Boost system helpful in low-light or dirty water?
A: Yes. The built-in reflective plate creates constant micro-flash, making the jig more noticeable when visibility is poor or when squid need extra encouragement to strike.

Q: How should I work this jig for best results?
A: Use sharp upward lifts to activate the Flash Boost shimmer, followed by controlled slack-line drops. Squid often strike as the jig falls naturally.

Q: Can I use this with my standard estuary rod?
A: While dedicated Egi rods offer the best action, most 7ft–8ft estuary rods with a soft tip and fast recovery will work well with a 3.0 jig.
