Ташкил кардан
The SHIMANO EXSENCE DIVE ASSASSIN lure comes pre-rigged with two #4 treble hooks. No complex assembly is required. To prepare for fishing:
- Inspect Lure: Before each use, check the lure body, hooks, and split rings for any damage or deformities. Ensure hooks are sharp and free of rust.
- Attach to Line: Securely tie your fishing line to the lure's front split ring using a strong fishing knot (e.g., Palomar knot, improved clinch knot). Avoid tying directly to the lure body as this can impede its action.
- Leader (Optional): For toothy fish or in clear water, consider using a fluorocarbon or wire leader for added protection and stealth.
Дастурҳои амалиётӣ
The EXSENCE DIVE ASSASSIN is designed for versatile retrieve styles. Its advanced features enhance casting distance, stability, and fish attraction.
Технологияҳои асосӣ:
- JET BOOST (Center of Gravity Transfer System): This system utilizes internal weights and springs that shift during casting, enabling exceptional long-distance casts and stable flight. Upon retrieve, the weights return to a central position, ensuring a balanced and rapid swimming action. This technology allows for both stable long-distance casting and quick, responsive lure movement, maximizing its effectiveness.
- FLASH BOOST (Unique Mirror Plate Continuous Reflection Structure): The lure incorporates a reflective plate suspended by a spring. This innovative structure causes the plate to vibrate and flash continuously, even when the lure is paused or during a slow retrieve. This constant flash effectively attracts target fish, even in low light or murky conditions.
- SCALE BOOST (Bionic Scale Design): This design features realistic holographic scale patterns that mimic natural baitfish. The 'Crazy Scale' pattern aims for ultimate realism, while the 'Strong Scale' pattern emphasizes larger, more pronounced scale patterns to enhance visual attraction and provoke strikes.



Fishing Techniques:
- Кастинг: Utilize the JET BOOST system for long casts. Aim for areas where target fish are likely to be present.
- Гирифтан: Experiment with various retrieve speeds and styles. The XM-D99U (floating) is effective with a retrieve speed of approximately 40 cm/s, while the XM-E99U (sinking) performs well at around 55 cm/s.
- Pause and Twitch: Incorporate pauses and twitches to activate the FLASH BOOST system, creating enticing flashes that can trigger strikes from hesitant fish.
- Diving Action: The DIVE ASSASSIN is a diving minnow. Its lip design allows it to dive to specific depths depending on retrieve speed and line diameter.

Мушкилкушо
If you encounter issues with your lure's performance, consider the following:
- Lure Not Swimming Straight: Check if the line tie eyelet is bent. Gently bend it back into alignment with pliers. Ensure no debris is caught on the hooks or lip.
- Poor Casting Distance: Verify that your line is not too heavy for your rod and reel setup. Ensure the lure is free of tangles before casting. The JET BOOST system should inherently provide excellent casting distance.
- Lack of Strikes: Experiment with different retrieve speeds, depths, and twitching patterns. Consider changing lure color or size based on water clarity and baitfish presence.
- Hooks Tangling: Ensure your leader or line is not too long or too light, which can cause tangles during casting or retrieve.
