Enhanced attraction for predator fishing rigs

The Flashmer Octopus 17 cm is designed for targeting large predatory fish with a highly visible and active presentation. Its long, streamlined profile imitates a larval squid, an important prey item for many marine predators. The supple and responsive material creates natural movement, while the wavy tentacles generate additional vibrations that help attract fish.

• Streamlined profile inspired by a natural prey item

• Can be used as a teaser above heavy lures
• Suitable for a wide range of sea and freshwater rigs

This octopus lure can be rigged above a jig, madai, inchiku or soft lure. It can also be mounted on a hook or assist hook to help predators focus their attack. Positioned in front of natural bait, it increases the attractiveness of surfcasting rigs, particularly when targeting flatfish.
