About this piece
The Apia Mayol 80S is a deep-diving minnow lure designed specifically for boat sea bass fishing, developed under the supervision of Takayuki Kitazoe, captain of an Osaka Bay boat sea bass vessel. It targets fish lurking in deep structure zones with a maximum diving depth of 2.5m, combining rapid descent with a controlled sudden rise to trigger strikes.
Key features
- Sinking hard body with a tight pitch wobbling action for strong appeal at short retrieve distances
- Magnet重心 shift system (magnetic weight transfer) for wind-resistant, straight-line casts near structure
- Maximum diving depth of 2.5m to reach deep-holding fish
- Equipped with size #6 treble hooks (2 pcs)
Best for
- Boat sea bass (saltwater) fishing around deep structure and pilings
- Situations requiring deep, precise presentation with fast descent and sudden rise
- Windy conditions where stable casting and straight-line swimming are critical
