Description

The Apia Hydro Upper 90S is a 90mm, 16g sinking pencil built around a rising concept rather than a conventional lipped design: its lip sits at a reverse angle, deflecting water downward on the retrieve so the body lifts toward the surface with a variable tight-roll action.

That lift lets it carry 16g in a 90mm body while keeping strong casting range, giving a subdued, bait-like swim rather than a showy wake-bait wobble. It suits tidal flats and shallow brackish lakes, and its castability also carries it onto open-coast surf and rocky-shore marks.

Information

The swimming action

The Hydro Upper is a rising-type sinking pencil: a reverse-angled lip drives water downward on the retrieve so the body lifts toward the surface, producing a variable tight-roll rather than a showy wobble, holding a stable, bait-like swim through the upper layer.

When to throw it

It suits tidal flats, shallow brackish river mouths and harbour margins where seabass and mebaru sit high in the water column feeding on micro-baitfish such as haku. Its castability also carries it onto open surf and rocky shore marks when a longer cast is needed.

How to work it

Fish it on a slow, steady retrieve so the reverse lip keeps lifting the body toward the surface, working V-shaped ripple patterns rather than a hard darting action. It doubles as a search bait early in a session before switching to something more subtle.

The setup it likes

A 7-8ft seabass spinning rod rated for light lures, a 2500-3000 reel, 8-12lb braid and a fluorocarbon leader of similar strength suit both sizes, stepping up leader weight slightly for the heavier model. Matching tackle in this range keeps the outfit comfortable to fish all session while still giving enough authority to control a fish once it is hooked.
