About this piece
The Apia Hydro Upper 55S is a compact sinking pencil bait designed for micro-bait patterns, particularly effective for sea bass and mebaru. Its matte finish reduces reflection, making it ideal for nervous fish and matching the 'kurukuru bachi' worm hatch in harbor areas.
Key features
- Sinking design with a variable tight roll action
- Matte finish reduces reflection for wary fish
- Floats up on retrieve, allowing approach to weed and rubble areas
- Surface wake teaser effect attracts fish eaters
- Slow roll on fall increases bite opportunities
Best for
- Sea bass (suzuki) in micro-bait patterns
- Mebaru (black rockfish) and other light game species
- Harbor and estuary fishing during worm hatch seasons
- Surface and shallow water targeting with a subtle presentation
