Shimano's Exsence Counter Wake is now available in a larger 160mm size and is designed as a wake-style lure that has excellent casting performance. A typical scenario for this size lure is the konoshiro pattern, where sea bass are focused on feeding on large bait near the surface, making it particularly effective.
Traditionally wake style lures can be known to be challenging to achieve good casting distance with but the incorporation of Shimano's Jet Boost technology in the Exsence Counter Wake it ensures that the lure achieves excellent casting performance every time.

Technology & Features:
- 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.
- 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.
