Focused on the flight distance and resistance in the water, the head dip is an effective stickbait for various conditions. The Ocea Head Dip 175F has been designed with a focus on bluefin tuna and kingfish featuring a stable casting distance which is ideal for boat shore casting and boat casting. The strong water propulsion performance of Jet Boost has been redesigned from scratch to follow the small bait pattern for tuna and the standard size for kingfish.
The Head Dip is easy to swim and holds the water well with a strong presence made when swimming the lure as it breaks the surface of the water during the initial dive and post dive when the lure rises aggressively to the surface.
Jet boost tuned to gain superb casting distance with ease to cover more ground and allows the lure to spend more time in the water to hunt for the target species. The Head Dip 140 assumes such an environment, and has been tuned from the conventional "DUAL AR-C system" to Jet Boost in order to gain a solid flight distance. With this design change, even an underhand cast from the boat with a short stroke can obtain a smooth and firm centrifugal force at the time of cast and it is designed to deliver the lure to a point farther than rival anglers. .
Hook have been tuned according to the target fish species.
By default a #2/0 treble hook is rigged for standard sized kingfish and tuna but when targeting larger kingfish and tuna in autumn and in situations where waters are rough and the lure pops out, it is recommended to use a thicker shaft class hook such as the BKK Raptor Z to allow the stickbait to sit lower in the water column.
Technology
Center-of-gravity movement mechanism ,JET BOOST achieves both a stable long casting ability and quick swimming by supporting the center-of-gravity movement weight with a shaft and spring. Thoroughly verifying the three elements of creating momentum, a stabilised casting action and a quick swimming action, Shimano have created a stickbait that is easy to swim and use.
