APIA BALEINE 100 FL Lipless Minnow 14g

BALEINE100FL: The ultimate Baleine lure for enticing bites An all-season lipless minnow Inheriting the natural action of the Baleine series, this lure has been refined to easily initiate action even at slow speeds and to be less prone to breaking down during fast retrieves. This lipless minnow from Apia offers further improved usability. The slightly head-down underwater posture allows for smooth action even at low speeds, improving the hooking rate. The body shape, which cleverly deflects water currents, maintains stable action even in strong currents and high-speed retrieves, and truly shines in cross-current and downstream fishing. Furthermore, it spontaneously wobbles in response to changes in current speed and retrieve speed, creating opportunities for bites both automatically and manually. With its easy-to-handle 100mm size, natural action, and high flight performance, this versatile model is effective in a wide range of situations throughout the year. It's already been five years since we released the Baleine 125F. Its high potential is gradually spreading among anglers, and we're receiving many happy fishing reports from all over the country. Furthermore, with the addition of the 160FL SPL to the 125F lineup, the situations in which it can be used have increased dramatically. I feel that the recognition and usage of it as a "lipless minnow" is also spreading nicely. When people think of me, they tend to think of "drift fishing" or "water fishing," but actually the Baleine series is a lure that was specifically designed for "retrieval fishing." This new model pursues "smooth retrieval," "ease of use" and "resistance to spooking fish" in retrieve fishing. The 100mm size is easy to use "anywhere" and "for anyone"! And of course, it is equipped with the unique "Linear Engine" weight transfer system. The best casting distance and flight stability in the 100mm class is a superb finish that you can understand without me having to say it...well, I ended up saying it anyway (laughs). Despite its bite-sized 100mm, it handles even high-speed retrieves with ease, and its presence becomes more pronounced the faster you reel it in. On the other hand, when retrieved slowly, it exhibits the alluring action inherited from its larger siblings. It blends naturally with the water current, preventing fish from feeling any suspicion. Small but incredibly reliable, the "Chibi Baleine" has arrived!
