SHIMANO
The Shimano Exsence Silent Assassin 80F/80S is the 8cm version of the most technologically advanced bass lure that Shimano has ever produced. Available in both the F (Floating) and S (Sinking) versions, it features the Flash Boost, Jet Boost and Scale Boost systems, and also has the most aggressive action of the entire Assassin family. If you want the ultimate bass lure, the Essence Silent Assassin 80 should be at the top of your list. The Jet Boost system guarantees excellent and improved casting performance compared to classic models, making it perfect when fish are feeding at a distance. The Flash Boost system allows you to increase attraction by reflecting the light, even when the lure is stationary, while the Scale Boost system generates a realistic effect that invites the prey to attack. Using a smooth, consistent retrieve, the Silent Assassin has a tight rolling action, but you can add an aggressive action using quick jerks or a gliding action using long jerks with the rod tip. The Floating version is fantastic for slower retrieves just below the surface, whilst the Sinking version is the bait to turn to when the fish are stationed in the lower part of the water column.
