About this piece
The Apia Hydro Upper 55S is a compact sinking pencil lure designed for light game fishing targeting mebaru, black sea bream, and micro-bait pattern sea bass. Its unique buoyant design allows it to rise when retrieved, enabling aggressive approaches around weeds and rocky areas while creating surface ripples that mimic baitfish movement.
Key features
- Sinking pencil with a negative-angle lip for shallow-water performance
- Tungsten weight system for exceptional casting distance and low center of gravity
- Variable tight roll action that also activates during slow fall
- Surface ripple generation to imitate top-layer baitfish
Best for
- Light saltwater game fishing (mebaru, black sea bream)
- Micro-bait pattern sea bass fishing
- Shallow rocky or weedy areas where floating minnows struggle
