About this piece
The Apia Baleine 160FL is a floating hard lure designed for saltwater shore fishing, particularly targeting seabass. It features Apia's proprietary Linear Engine weight transfer system for exceptional casting distance and a stable, near-horizontal swimming action that mimics a wounded baitfish. The lure covers the surface layer down to about 50cm, with a head-up floating posture on the pause that triggers predatory strikes.
