About this piece
The Apia Hydro Upper 55S is a mini-sized sinking minnow designed for light game fishing, targeting species like mebaru (rockfish), black sea bream, and sea bass in micro-bait patterns. Its unique rising design when retrieved allows aggressive approaches to targets hiding near weeds and rocky bottoms, while the surface-rippling teaser effect strongly appeals to fish-eaters.
Key features
- Sinking minnow with a floating recovery design for weedless and rocky area approaches
- Surface-rippling teaser effect that strongly attracts predatory fish
- Variable tight roll action, also activating a slow roll on shimmy falls for extended strike opportunities
- Equipped with two DECOY Y-F33B #12 treble hooks
Best for
- Light game fishing for rockfish, black sea bream, and sea bass
- Shallow to mid-layer surface fishing where jighead rigs and floating minnows fall short
- Micro-bait pattern sea bass sessions and structured inshore environments
