About this piece
The Apia Chinupara Dodge is a specialized jig for black sea bream (kurodai) fishing, designed to minimize snags and improve hook-up rates. Its unique 'self-righting doll' system keeps the hook point facing upward, while the ultra-low center of gravity and weight balance reduce bottom hang-ups. This renewed version from the 2014 original adds playful new colors to match the black sea bream's omnivorous diet.
