SHIMANO XM-215U Exsence Slim Assassin 149S JetBoost #001 Kyorin Iwashi

The new "Slim Assassin 149S JetBoost" attracts seabass with "jerking" and overwhelming "flying distance"!

Based on the Slim Assassin 149F , which is the best model for producing a halfbeak pattern, a sibling model, the sinking specification "149S", has been added to the lineup. However, rather than sinking to keep a deeper range, it is said that it is for pursuing "extra" performance addition.

Even though it has a slim silhouette, it is equipped with a JetBoost to achieve a stable cast even in headwinds.
It features a lightweight body and a light swim with a good start.

Lock on the autumn seabass scattered over a wide area with an average flight distance approaching 65m!

The newly lined up 149S has the same basic structure as the 149F, and the target range is around 30cm just below the water surface even if the weight is increased, which is not much different from floating. So what are the benefits of weighting up? One of them is "flying distance", which achieves an average flying distance of 64.9m due to the synergistic effect of the slim body with low air resistance and the JetBoost mechanism. You can explore a wider area.

Just roll and move 100%

– The Slim Assassin 149S uses the JetBoost system, which uses an AR-C shell (foam material) instead of the usual AR-C.

Since the body material itself has buoyancy, the silhouette is made as slender as possible, but the JetBoost system and three treble hooks can be installed.
When it comes to a slender silhouette at 149 mm, it is difficult to secure buoyancy. With general ABS resin, this lure would not have been possible.

Moreover, because it is a lightweight AR-C SHELL body, it has high exercise performance, and even a light jerk can develop a wide range of dart and invite reaction bites.

High buoyancy due to foaming of body shell :

Sufficient buoyancy is secured by adopting AR-C SHELL, which has buoyancy in the material itself.

High buoyancy x high weight :

Combined with the AR-C SHELL, it is equipped with the JetBoost system, which has further evolved flight and swimming. 

It is generally said that it is difficult to make a lure react to a sea bass that is in a crazy state. The Slim Assassin 149S has a slim body that closely resembles the silhouette of a halfbeak, but has the potential to establish a halfbeak pattern with an exquisite sense of size that can be eaten with a single bite. It is a lure that can be expected to be active from late summer to autumn.

Also, because the form is long and slender, it is often thought that it is a model specializing in halfbeak patterns, but in reality it can also be used with sardine patterns and dotted gizzard patterns. A hologram "scale boost" that realistically imitates the brilliance of the scales of all bait fish that Seabass preys on is adopted, and two patterns of Crazy Scales and Strong Scales are used according to the color.

Lip design that balances swimming and flight posture :

Large lip and lightweight body make jerking easier

Furthermore, the "jerking" performance has been refined because it is sinking. In addition to the weight up, the square lip has been made slightly larger to improve water biting, and even sharp jerking can keep the predation range of seabass firmly.

Wide square lip specification with a shallow angle

Keep a shallow range and swim with a wobble roll.
