Description

The Apia Baleine 160FL is a 160 mm, 43 g floating minnow built around Apia's own Linear Engine (PAT.P) weight-transfer system for long casting distances. It carries three size #2 trebles (BKK FANGS-62UA).

On landing, the lure settles to swimming trim at roughly a 5-degree tilt, reducing side-slip and holding a close-to-horizontal attitude while covering the surface layer down to about 50 cm. It is built for seabass anglers who want a natural, unhurried presentation with strong casting range.

Information

The swimming action

Baleine is a floating ripple-less minnow that swims just beneath the surface with a natural, gentle rolling action; the 160FL adds Apia's own Linear Engine weight-transfer system and settles to a near-horizontal swimming trim on landing.

When to throw it

A slow-presentation seabass minnow for river drift, slack water and areas of weak current, where an unhurried, natural profile outfishes faster-moving lures.

How to work it

Retrieve speed and rod position set the running depth (roughly 10–50 cm); add rod sweeps for a side-to-side darting motion, or fish it dead slow for the natural roll alone.

The setup it likes

Suits a light-to-medium seabass spinning rod (L–ML for the 125F, M for the larger 160FL), a 2500–3000-size reel, 8–12 lb fluorocarbon or 0.8–1.0 PE braid with a fluorocarbon leader.
