HAPPY RIDE 55F Explanation

Writer's picture: aplamodelaplamodel

This is an explanatory article about Happy Ride 55F.


This is a top water plug designed mainly for bream game, top chinning, etc. Even top water plugs are in the popper category. Because of its size of 55mm, popping occurs best when the tip of the rod is brought close to the water surface. However, when fishing from the shore, most of the time you will be fishing at a much higher angle than the water surface, so in terms of popping strength, you can think of it as being about the same as a pencil.



When it came to poppers for chinning, we often used ones with loud popping (strong sound and wave splash). However, the fishing results with pencil lures were overwhelmingly high, and when fishing, the lure was biased toward pencil baits. For me, the size is too big and I find it difficult to use. With that in mind, we designed the Happy Ride, which is a popper but also has the elements and size of a pencil plug. As soon as I can cope with the unique part-time job of Chinu, I can dock walk left and right while keeping the distance traveled. The protrusions that protrude from the body, called side wings, are particularly effective in reducing travel distance. In the first place, the mouth of a sea bass is smaller than that of a sea bass and has very hard teeth. Therefore, the suction range, amount of water, and suction power for one bite should also change.Therefore, a small plug has the advantage of being easier to fit into the small mouth of a dogfish, and by reducing the distance it travels, you can take action within the sucking range during a bite. It is also effective against Chinook that arrive at structures such as quays and obstacles, and you can appeal to them with a pin spot. Whereas with pencil bait, the distance it moves during action is long and the appeal is about 2 times, with Happy Ride, you can continue to take action 3 or 4 times. There are times when it is effective to take a break between feedings such as stop action and bring it into a part-time job, but there is an advantage that you can bring it into a part-time job by continuing to take action without giving up.



There is no ups and downs like a pencil bait, and it is possible to use a rod action similar to shaking, so we recommend that you use a rod action that is more delicate than a regular lure. .


I think it's effective for targeting fish other than Chinook, so please try using it for fishing that takes advantage of the lure's characteristics.
