Apia Juicy

Description

Juicy is Apia's resin fishing blade, supervised by pro staff Shun Sasaki, valued for a transparency and lightness that metal blades don't have: being clear lets it appeal naturally through the transmission and reflection of light, UV-treated finishes stay effective in low light such as night or deep water, and its light specific gravity keeps it from dropping quickly so it can be worked on a slow retrieve. It's designed to be rigged onto jig heads, offset hooks or plugs as a freely-used component — the maker markets it as a super-versatile resin blade usable across many fish species rather than for one specific target.

This listing stocks three Juicy sizes. Juicy #3 1/2 measures 80mm including mounting hardware (38mm blade only) and weighs 0.85g including hardware (0.5g blade only), carried here in 4 of the maker's 5 colourways: #2 Silver Holo, #3 Gold Holo, #4 Keimura, #5 Clear. Juicy #2 measures 62mm including mounting hardware (25mm blade only) and weighs 0.5g including hardware (0.2g blade only), carried here in its full set of 6 colourways: #01 Clear Holo, #02 Glow Shirasu, #03 Krill Red, #04 Keimura Pink, #05 Tentoumushi Glow, #06 Silver Holo. A further colourway, Juicy #1 Clear Holo, is also carried per the distributor's own part labelling; Apia's current official site lists only the #2 and #3 1/2 sizes, so the #1's size and spec are unconfirmed. Japanese product name: ジューシー (Juicy).
