About this piece
The Shimano Exsence Koo XAR-C 130F is a floating pencil lure engineered to exploit the under-10cm surface zone for sea bass. Its innovative design delivers a tight rolling action that triggers bites when fish are keyed in on tiny surface prey. By combining unique range control with a natural baitfish profile, this lure excels in shallow water scenarios.
