About this piece
The Apia Ramutara Badel 105 is a downsized floating minnow (105mm, 15g) designed to expand the effectiveness of the original Ramutara concept into smaller waters. Its compact body triggers bites even in tight spots where larger lures would be impractical, while maintaining a quick start-up and a fluttering, erratic action that appeals to predatory fish.
Key features
- Floating minnow with a slow-rising profile for precise depth control.
- Downsized 105mm length targets smaller venues and pressured fish.
- Variable wobbling roll action mimics a vulnerable baitfish.
- High-response design reacts sensitively to water flow even without steady retrieve.
- Equipped with #4 treble hooks for solid hook-ups on aggressive strikes.
Best for
- Freshwater bass fishing in small to medium rivers, creeks, and channels.
- Targeting monster-class bass in overlooked pockets like drains, pipe outflows, and reed edges.
- Fishing flowing water scenarios where a natural, drifting baitfish presentation is key.
- Pinpoint casting around bridge pilings and other isolated cover in larger rivers.
