Shimano's Bantam Jijil FlashBoost is an innovative finesse swimbait lure, meticulously crafted to mimic various common baitfish species. It now features Shimano's innovative Flash Boost mechanism and comes in a variety of new colours. The lure offers a distinct action, allowing for versatile retrieval techniques. A simple straight wind and pause retrieve creates a subtle gliding surface profile, while gentle twitches of the rod tip activate the Bantam Jijil's ultra-realistic hinged lure head, enticing aggressive surface hits.
The Bantam Jijil proves lethal for Australia's prized surface-feeding natives, including bass, estuary perch, mangrove jack. Especially so with Shimano's patented FlashBoost technology and Kyorin holographic scale.

Technology & Features:
- FLASH BOOST - This mechanism is fitted with a spring-loaded reflective plate suspended inside the body. It uses rod action and other vibrations, and further vibrates the lure with the spring to keep attracting the lure with small, sparkling flashing even during drifts when the lure is not moving.
- SCALE BOOST - Holograms mimic the realistic patterns of baitfish scales. Composite pitch holograms provide complex reflections in the water like the scales of real bait fish.
- JET BOOST - This is a center-of-gravity shifting mechanism that enables both stable long casts and rapid swimming by supporting the center-of-gravity shifting weight with a through-shaft and spring. The JETBOOST system has been thoroughly tested for three key elements: initial casting speed, stable flight posture, and rapid swimming. It realizes a long casting lure that can be fished regardless of the user's skill level.
