About this piece
The Apia Hydro Upper 55S is a compact sinking pencil designed for light game fishing targeting mebaru (rockfish), black sea bream, and micro-bait-pattern sea bass. Its unique negative-angle lip enables shallow-water retrieval while the tungsten weight system provides exceptional casting distance and a low center of gravity for stable swimming action.

Best for
- Light game fishing for mebaru, black sea bream, and similar species
