Shimano N Pinkback OCEA Bomb DIP 170F Flash Boost — Offshore Topwater Lure

Overview

Engineered for offshore and nearshore game fish, the Shimano Bomb DIP 170F Flash Boost is a topwater lure designed to trigger aggressive strikes in a range of sea conditions. The lure pairs a cupped-face profile with Shimano's BOOST CONCEPT technologies, delivering heightened visibility, distance, and lifelike appeal when pursuing tuna and other fast pelagic species.

BOOST CONCEPT at a glance

• FLASH BOOST: suspended foil flashes to mimic a wounded baitfish and grab attention during the retrieve
• JET BOOST: weight-transfer system for longer, more accurate casts
• SCALE BOOST: multi-pitch holograms reflect light in multiple directions for added visual allure

Design and action

The Bomb DIP 170F FB measures 170 mm (6.7 inches) and features a distinctive cupped-face to disrupt water flow and generate a loud splash. A Bubble Chamber creates a visible bubble trail that helps predators track the lure as you reel, even in chop. On pauses, FLASH BOOST emits a brief flash to maintain lure visibility and provoke follow-ups from curious fighters.

Performance across conditions

Whether you’re casting in calm bays or battling rough offshore water, the Bomb DIP remains buoyant and easy to control. The Jet Boost weight-transfer system enhances casting distance and precision, making it easier to reach boils or cover water quickly when the action heats up.

Durability and setup

Equipped with two ultra-sharp treble hooks, the Bomb DIP 170F FB balances durability with reliable hookups. It’s designed for intuitive use, so both seasoned anglers and newcomers can tie on, cast, and retrieve with confidence.

Color options and versatility

Three color options help you match water clarity and lighting. The N Pinkback variant provides a brighter profile for high-contrast conditions.

• Three color options to suit water and light
• N Pinkback finish for improved visibility
• Effective in both calm and choppy water

Who should consider this lure

Anglers pursuing tuna and other aggressive pelagics offshore, or nearshore predators that respond to a bold, splashy topwater action, will find the Bomb DIP 170F FB to be a versatile addition to their tackle. It pairs well with shoreline structure, reefs, and tidal movements when the bite is on.
