Description

The Taphios F is a shallow-range small minnow from H.A.L Co.'s KET label, built with a flat side and flat belly for a subtle, natural impact that keeps wary fish from getting wise to it. The F is tuned as a slow floater for stop-and-go “point” fishing, hanging in place to get eaten on the pause, and its body generates action automatically, adjusting itself to the strength of the current.

It is designed as a first-contact lure for harbour structure games as well as river and tidal-flat shallow games, and works equally well in ports, rivers, tidal flats and reefs.

Information

The swimming action

The flat-sided, flat-bellied body generates its own subtle wobble automatically, and the strength of that action adjusts itself to match the current. As a slow floater it hangs in place on the pause rather than rising quickly, giving wary fish a longer look before they commit.

When to throw it

A first-contact lure for harbour structure games and shallow river or tidal-flat sessions, where seabass are holding tight to walls, weed edges or current seams in skinny water.

How to work it

Work it with a stop-and-go point-fishing retrieve: wind it down to the target spot, pause, and let it hang there for the take rather than pulling it straight through.

The setup it likes

A 7-8ft L-ML seabass spinning rod, a 2500 reel with PE 0.6-0.8 or 6-8lb nylon main line, and a 6-8lb fluorocarbon leader suits this size of minnow.
