Soft Lure FISH ARROW Flash J Squid 3.5"" - 9 cm

Product Highlights

Designed by the brand FISH ARROW, the Flash J Squid is a soft squid-imitating lure engineered to trigger strikes from even the wariest predators. Its very soft material gives the tentacles exceptional mobility, which activates at the slightest stimulus, even during slow retrieves or in light currents.

The lure’s hollow body offers great modularity. It allows insertion of a small bead, a discreet weight, or a liquid or gel attractant. This internal architecture enhances the lure’s seductive power by combining visual, vibratory and olfactory signals for an even more natural and convincing presentation.

Versatile, the Flash J Squid soft squid lure adapts to a wide range of rigs: standard jighead, blade sinker, drop shot setup, teaser ahead of another lure or use with rigs such as fireball, madai or inchiku. It thus becomes an ideal solution for both saltwater and freshwater fishing, from shore or from boat.

Technical Specifications

• Soft lure made from very flexible material, giving the tentacles a realistic vibrating action at the slightest line tension.
• Hollow body allowing insertion of a bead, a small weight or attractants to customize the presentation.
• Detailed cephalopod silhouette, specifically designed to imitate a squid or small cuttlefish, natural prey for many predators.
• Designed to be rigged on a jighead, blade sinker, drop shot, used as a teaser or paired with fireball, madai or inchiku rigs.
• Lure intended for vertical fishing, cast-and-retrieve, trolling or jigging under the boat, depending on the chosen rig.
• Suitable for targeting marine and freshwater predators that feed on cephalopods or elongated soft prey.

Advantages and Key Features

The primary strength of the Flash J Squid lies in its extreme softness. The tentacles move in a fluid, erratic way, creating a very lively action even when animation is minimal. This ability to work at low speed is a decisive advantage when fish are picky or inactive.

The hollow body offers a second major advantage: the possibility to adjust density, noise and scent diffusion. By inserting a colored bead or a small rattling bead, the angler increases visual and sound attractivity. By adding an attractant, you obtain a highly enticing soft squid lure that encourages solid strikes and reduces refusals.

Its wide rigging versatility allows it to cover many situations: working near the bottom with a jighead, slow vertical fishing with fireball, rapid prospecting with a blade sinker, discreet presentation on drop shot or serving as a teaser ahead of a jig or another lure. A single model thus enables varying approaches according to fishing conditions.

Finally, FISH ARROW’s manufacturing quality ensures a durable lure, able to withstand multiple strikes while retaining softness and mobility. This is a valuable asset for intensive anglers looking for a performant and reliable soft lure over many outings.

Usage Tips

For use on a standard jighead, it is recommended to thread the lure straight along the axis to preserve swim stability. A sawtooth retrieve, alternating short pulls and controlled drop phases, particularly highlights the tentacles of the soft squid lure.

In drop shot rigging, position the Flash J Squid a few dozen centimeters above the weight, then animate it with small twitches of the rod tip while keeping the weight in contact with the bottom. Vibrations transmit immediately to the tentacles, which undulate very attractively in place.

Used as a teaser ahead of another lure, it increases the silhouette volume and simulates a small school of prey, which can trigger strikes from following fish. On rigs like fireball, madai or inchiku, it perfectly complements a slow, near-bottom presentation by adding a soft, lively signal.

Do not hesitate to fill the hollow body with an attractant suited to the targeted species. Apply sparingly but regularly during the session to maintain constant diffusion. Vary retrieve speed and swim height to find the cadence that produces the most strikes.
