In homage to existing freshwater plugs, the Screw Drive has been evolved into a topwater plug suitable for SW big game. After extensive testing targeting big game species such as yellowtail amberjack, GT, and tuna, what we sought was an overwhelming appeal of "sound and bubbles" never before seen. The powerful sound that cannot be produced by poppers or even pencils is transmitted farther, deeper, and inward, while the "bubbles" it creates simultaneously leave a presence and a trail, mimicking fleeing baitfish. Through two years of field trial and error, we achieved body strength with a through-wire, stable flight distance, consistent action, and the rotational performance of the prop fins, which are our strongest weapons. The "screw bubble sound" unique to Screw Drive draws big targets in the sea to the water surface.

SW big game offers a new choice.

Is there only diving pencils and poppers as effective topwater lures for SW big game? Can these lures overcome all situations? These questions prompted the development of the Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST. The goal was to create a third appeal performance that cannot be achieved by diving pencils or poppers. The concept for the Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST was inspired by prop baits designed for large freshwater targets like muskies and pikes. By rotating the prop, generating water flow and sound, it can attract fish from a wide area, thoroughly built into SW specifications. The Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST has been elevated to a dedicated SW big game lure.

Swims even in rough conditions, with high appeal due to prop rotation

The basic concept of the Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST is a lure with a propeller attached to the rear of the body that grabs water and rotates to produce bubbles and sound. It maintains a stable action with a steady "poko-poko" sound during steady retrieve. It can also produce a popping action with a "gobbo" sound during short jerks. Additionally, because the weight is located at the rear of the body and the prop is always submerged, it is less prone to misaction even in rough water. Even in sea conditions where poppers or diving pencils might roll on the surface, it persistently remains on the surface and continues its action. In situations with high big fish potential but difficult lure operation, the Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST ensures you won't miss a bite.

Normal large, using two types of prop fins to produce a variety of actions.

Two types of prop fins, normal large and others, are included and can be easily exchanged. The basic size is normal. The normal size allows high-speed action. For high-speed winding effective for yellowtail amberjack and similar species, non-stop jerks, and fast-paced long jerks, the normal fin is recommended. The large size can produce even greater appeal than the normal size. It is effective for slow retrieves, slow-paced short jerks, or situations where broad and intense appeal is desired, such as targeting tuna or GT with large, vigorous actions, or for popping actions with limited movement distance.

High-level performance in both distance and strength, the two major elements required for SW big game.

The Screw Drive 180F / 180F FLASH HBOOST features a body divided into two parts, with a wire acting as an axis and a rotating prop attached. It meets high standards for both distance and strength, essential for SW big game. Initially, resistance from the prop during casting caused deceleration and wobbling. However, thorough testing of body shape and weight balance achieved a flight distance comparable to diving pencils without stress for the angler. The wire passing through the prop part ensures strength. It meets Shimano's proprietary strength standards for offshore casting.
