Description

The Argo 160 is Apia's oversized model in the Argo topwater pencil line, 160mm and 48g, floating with a near-horizontal resting posture and magnet weight-transfer for stable casting distance. It steps up to a heavy-duty 3-hook (#2) setup using BKK FANGS-62UA hooks to handle large seabass, and it ships across a full 12-colour range spanning clear to matte finishes.

It excels during the Inakko (juvenile mullet) run and stays productive right through the season, with a rhythmic, lively action that draws reaction bites even without visible bait around. The weight is manageable on MH-class spinning tackle, and daytime sessions with this lure can produce the kind of explosive topwater strikes that keep anglers coming back for more.

Information

The swimming action

Argo is Apia's topwater pencil plug: a twin-cup nose throws a splash and V-wake on a straight retrieve, while magnet weight-transfer gives long, stable casting distance and a near-horizontal floating posture for a reliable dog-walk action.

When to throw it

A daytime and low-light topwater bait for seabass working baitfish on the surface — river mouths, flats and open coast — particularly effective during mullet and shad runs.

How to work it

Walk-the-dog with rhythmic rod twitches to keep the V-wake and splash going, pausing briefly between sequences; a straight retrieve alone will also produce the wake at a gentler pace.

The setup it likes

Suits a medium-power seabass spinning rod (M power for the larger sizes, ML for smaller), a 3000–4000-size reel, 12–16 lb fluorocarbon or 1.0–1.5 PE braid with a fluorocarbon leader.
