Ocea Bubble Dip 180F Flash Boost (XU-P18W)

While keeping the original OCEA Bubble Dip 180F's action, the Flash Boost makes it even more appealing! The synergistic effect of the bubble chamber that draws bubbles firmly puts the target into predatory mode. It can be used with confidence not only for the main target of yellowfin tuna, but also for the power fight against large yellowtail amberjack.

The center of gravity shifting weight is supported by a through shaft and spring, which allows for stable long casts and quick swimming. Its casting performance is a powerful ally in luring patterns where it is advantageous to search a wide area. In addition, JET BOOST contributes to stabilizing the flight posture and increasing the initial speed when casting, so it is effective not only for long casts when luring, but also for school shooting, where casting accuracy is the most important.

The color lineup follows that of the Bubble Dip 220F Flash Boost. In addition to the seven proven colors, the lineup includes a total of eight colors, including the T Sardine Mint, which is based on the Tourin Sardine and has added visibility and appeal. You can freely rotate colors to suit the activity of your target and the field conditions.

The Ocea Bubble Dip 180F Flash Boost is a popper equipped with a flash boost on the Bubble Dip 180F, which has proven its worth in catching tuna and yellowtail. Sorry to keep you waiting! It has inherited the basic action and performance of the Bubble Dip 180F. It is not a large size among offshore poppers, but it has a jet boost with a spring set at the rear of the weight, so it can fly far enough. The bubble chamber, which generates fine bubbles and splashes to appeal to targets, is a great weapon. Furthermore, the flash boost has been installed, which has significantly improved the fish-attracting effect. It dives quite a bit, so in addition to the appeal of a popper's sound and bubbles, the flash boost will also appeal to you even underwater with its sparkling effect. Of course, the flash boost will make a strong appeal even if you stop it on the surface of the water.

The recommended situation is when a school of fish is present. It is especially effective when the sardines are being preyed upon by the tuna. I recommend using it close to the surface of the water to appeal to them with soft sounds and bubbles, and to make the lure visible so that they can bite. When preying on sardines, they often do not respond well to high-appeal lures, so a lure with moderate appeal like the Bubble Dip 180F Flash Boost is effective. I also think that the sparkle of the Flash Boost will make small baits look good. Since it is small in size, I think it is easy to use for fishing in Sagami Bay and other places. On the other hand, I think that it may not be appealing enough to use in the open ocean. In such cases, I recommend selecting the Ocea Bomb Dip 170F Flash Boost. It has good tidal bite and a loud popping sound that makes it appealing, so when there are waves or wind, the Bomb Dip 170F Flash Boost is a good choice when you want a high appeal. Even in the popper category, rotation is necessary.

The Bubble Dip 180F Flash Boost comes in a total of eight colors. The basic colors are the same as the Bubble Dip 180F, but the highly visible T Sardine Mint and A Orange have been added, and there are also N Green and A Rainbow models with green-colored Flash Boost plates. We hope you'll try out the various colors.
