Shimano Sephia Sepy Flash Boost Lure 1.8

Built for finesse squid fishing, the Shimano Sephia Sepy Flash Boost 1.8 keeps flashing and attracting squid even when the jig is sitting still in the strike zone.

The Shimano Sephia Sepy Flash Boost 1.8 is a specialised ultra-light squid jig designed for anglers targeting squid in calm water, estuaries, harbours, canals and shallow inshore structure. Perfect for technical egging sessions, this compact egi combines Shimano’s proven Flash Boost technology with an easy-to-work body that stays balanced and responsive through the entire retrieve.

Designed to swim steadily on a standard retrieve, the Sepy 1.8 also darts naturally with subtle rod twitches, making it ideal for pressured squid or slower fishing conditions where finesse presentation matters. The internal spring-loaded reflective plate continues to flash during pauses and drifts, helping trigger bites even when the lure is barely moving.

Its lightweight profile allows anglers to maintain better control in shallow water while still handling current and tidal movement effectively. Whether you're chasing calamari from the rocks, boat, marina or local jetty, the Sephia Sepy Flash Boost delivers a highly refined presentation that keeps squid interested longer.

Available now at Anglers Warehouse with fast shipping Australia wide.
