Overview
Diminutive, yet delectable, the Shimano WD-World Diver Flash Boost Jerkbait offers a deep-diving, bite-sized profile that is packed with advanced lure technologies. Utilizing Shimano’s patented Flash Boost technology, the Shimano WD-World Diver Flash Boost Jerkbait emits an brilliant flash during the retrieve and accurately mimics a wounded baitfish on the pause – a combination that’s sure to trigger a response from wary bass. Offering a smaller profile than most deep-diving ripbaits, the Shimano WD-World Diver Flash Boost Jerkbaits is built to reach suspending fish from 6-8ft. Backed by two sticky-sharp trebles, the Shimano WD-World Diver Flash Boost Jerkbait delivers a compact, flash-rich profile that is sure to keep a bend in your rod.

Decent....It's not as sharp as the World Minnow or Zumerno but it still catches them. It does tend to foul itself. It somehow gets the line around the back hook mid retrieve occasionally. It doesn't dive as deep as I'd hoped and only 2 hooks on a bait that size is odd. All that aside, it works.
Time and placeThese things catch fish in clear water. Are they better than a megabass. No. The action isn't as sharp. BUT they are seen a lot less than MB and in certain clear water situations I think they may produce better due to no rattles and maybe the flash. I threw it on braid to leader to make the action sharper

Comments: I'm a Shimano fan and uber-avid jerkbait fisherman. I keep trying the one I bought in pro-blue. It just doesn't get bit nearly as well as my Pointers, Duo's, Leviathans, Vision Jr +1's, and McRip 85's.

Comments: I simply cannot get this bait to react like other "high end" jerkbaits. No matter which rod or cadence I use, it falls short on reactive movement. The flash boost is AMAZING but I just can't get this thing to react to rod twitches like a megabass, jackall rerange, or pointer jerkbaits.

Comments: Shimano has just put out some really nice baits in these flash boosts .. loving the swimbait .. however when it comes to jerkbaits .. Megabass is still king .. these work, just not as well as Megabass 110s, etc .. it's a nice jerk bait / it is .. it catches fish .. but if you want the best throw in another $5 and just go Megabass .. of course, any seasoned angler will know this. But I like what Shimano has done here.. still, won't throw as far as a 110 or seem to pull bass in like a 110 .. but Shimano is def on the right path as far as jerk baits.
