About this piece
The Apia ARGO 105 is a saltwater pencil lure designed for sea bass (seabass/SUZUKI) targeting. Produced by Kunihiko Hamamoto, this floating topwater lure features a twin-cup design that enables various actions beyond the standard dog-walk, including popper-like splashes and V-shaped ripples on a straight retrieve. It maintains action just below the surface even in windy conditions, contributing to improved hook-up rates.
