About this piece
The Apia ARGO 105 is a saltwater topwater pencil lure designed by Hamamoto Kunihiko. Its twin-cup design allows anglers of any skill level to easily produce a variety of actions, from dog-walk to popper-style splashes and V-shaped ripples on a straight retrieve. The lure works just below the surface, maintaining water contact even in windy conditions, which improves hook-up rates.
