Design, feel, and practical use

The glossy body and thoughtful weight distribution give a solid in-hand balance. The 140g weight helps reach deeper zones where squid commonly roam, while the streamlined profile reduces water drag during retrieves, aiding consistent tracking in currents.

In real-world fishing, anglers often employ steady retrieves or short pauses to mimic fleeing prey. The SHIMMERFALL BF140FSSQ supports repeated casts and adapts to a range of water conditions, from calm bays to tidal channels, without losing form.

Tips for use

• Cast, sink to target depth, then maintain a steady or varied retrieve to entice bites
• Experiment with slow pauses and short bursts to simulate natural movement
• Match retrieve speed to light, wind, and current for effective depth control
