Sakura Flashkast 170 S: The Ultimate Long-Distance Predator Magnet

When the surf is pumping and the bass are holding just beyond the second breaker, you need a lure that cuts through the wind like a bullet and swims with irresistible intent. Enter the Sakura Flashkast 170 S.

Designed specifically for the demanding salt-water angler, this slow-sinking minnow is a masterclass in lure engineering. The Flashkast 170 S isn’t just about length; it’s about a refined, “rolling” swimming action that sends out intense vibrations and flashes, mimicking a panicked baitfish to perfection. Whether you are working a slow retrieve or giving it aggressive jerks, the internal magnetic mass transfer system ensures every cast reaches maximum distance, while the lead-free, stainless steel internal weighting keeps the lure perfectly balanced in turbulent water.

Built to withstand the most brutal strikes, the Flashkast features a Full Wire (integral wire) assembly. This means the line eye and the hook hangers are all part of one continuous stainless steel wire, ensuring that even if a trophy-sized fish crushes the lure body, you stay connected to your prize.

Where to Use the Flashkast 170 S

Shore-Based Bass Fishing: The 170mm profile is the “gold standard” for matching the size of sandeels and larger baitfish. Its aerodynamic shape makes it the go-to choice for reaching distant sandbanks or reef edges from the beach.
Rough Weather Conditions: Thanks to the magnetic mass transfer system, this lure excels when casting into a headwind. It maintains its trajectory without tumbling, giving you an edge when others can’t reach the fish.
Estuary Mouths & Tide Races: The slow-sinking nature allows you to “count” the lure down into the strike zone. Use the “rolling” action to your advantage in heavy current where predators are waiting to ambush prey being swept past.
Rocky Outcrops: The internal wire construction provides the peace of mind needed when targeting hard-hitting species like Pollack or Barracuda around jagged structures.

Gerry’s Tip: Try a “Stop & Go” retrieve. Because this lure is a slow-sinker, pausing for two seconds allows it to flutter down through the water column, often triggering a strike from following fish that are undecided
