A new 120mm sinking pencil has been born from the Athlete series for conquering shallow surf. Flatfish games from the surf are currently booming in popularity. While various lures are available, has there ever been a lure that can achieve long casting distances in any situation for anyone, and can also entice fish slowly without scraping the bottom in shallow surf?
General sinking pencils maintain a horizontal posture and fall slowly. However, when targeting flatfish lurking on the seabed, the key to success lies in how quickly you can reach the bottom and entice them slowly. The Athlete 12SSP was developed with a strong focus on flatfish games from the surf, and its design differs significantly from traditional sinking pencils, featuring a rearward center of gravity. This ensures a stable flight posture during casting, consistently achieving long casting distances. Despite its 120mm body size, its casting distance rivals that of metal jigs. Upon landing, it falls vertically from the rear in free fall, allowing you to reach the bottom immediately and begin swimming.
The action is a wide-sweeping roll action with a slow retrieve, which transitions into a wobbling roll action as the retrieve speed increases. Due to its rearward center of gravity, the action is pronounced, and the retrieve resistance is moderate, giving the impression of using a minnow rather than a sinking pencil. Furthermore, during a curved fall with tension applied, it performs a subtle rolling fall with a slight downward tilt of the rear, allowing for enticing falls. To effectively detect the characteristic upward bites of flatfish, a 3-hook system is equipped, utilizing the 120mm size. With this action and casting distance, it is sure to be effective not only for flatfish but also for yellowtail and seabass.
