Axia Bullet – 80mm – 21.3g

Axia Bullet – 80mm – 21.3g

Product Details and Uses

The Axia Bullet is a “user-friendly” pencil lure that requires very little technical skill to master. On a straight retrieve, it produces a natural, rhythmic side-to-side wobble that perfectly mimics a swimming baitfish. If you want to increase the aggression, a few sharp twitches of the rod tip will cause it to dart erratically, sending out flashes of light and vibrations that trigger a predator’s “fight or flight” response.

Its sinking nature makes it much more versatile than a standard surface lure. You can begin your retrieve immediately to keep it in the top foot of the water, or allow it to sink for a few seconds to target fish holding slightly deeper. This makes it an essential tool for “searching” the water column when fish aren’t visibly breaking the surface but you know they are in the area.

Why the Axia Bullet 80mm is a Tackle Box Essential

• Compact Power: At only 80mm, it perfectly mimics small baitfish, yet the 21.3g weight ensures elite-level casting distance.

• Sinking Pencil Action: Allows you to fish at various depths, making it effective in both calm estuaries and rougher open-coast surf.

• Effortless Side-to-Side Wobble: A highly attractive swimming action that works effectively even on a simple, steady wind.

• Stable in Current: Unlike many light pencil lures, the Bullet’s density helps it stay “buried” and stable in fast-moving tides or heavy swell.

• Premium Hardware: Fitted with high-strength split rings and sharp, saltwater-resistant treble hooks that are ready for immediate action.

Examples of Where to Use the Axia Bullet

• Estuary Mouths: The perfect size for matching the small fry found in estuaries. Use the weight to cast into the main “run” where Bass are waiting to ambush prey.

• Surf Beaches: When the wind is in your face and you need a small lure to reach the “white water” behind the breakers, the Bullet provides the necessary aerodynamic “punch.”

• Pier & Harbour Walls: An excellent lure for “walking” alongside structure. Let it sink alongside pilings for Pollack, or retrieve it quickly across the surface for passing Mackerel shoals.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

The Axia Bullet is a secret weapon for “Night Bass” fishing. Because it has a stable, vibrating wobble on a slow retrieve, it creates a “footprint” in the water that Bass can easily track in the dark. Try a very slow, steady retrieve with the occasional long pause—the lure will flutter as it sinks during the pause, which is often when a following Bass will finally inhale it!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How deep does it sink? It is a “short-sinking” lure, meaning it has a moderate sink rate. It’s designed to be worked primarily in the top 1–4 feet of the water column.

• Can I use this for “Walk the Dog”? While it’s primarily a sub-surface wobbler, you can achieve a “sub-surface walk” with short, sharp downward twitches of the rod tip, making it look like a panicked sandeel.

• Is it suitable for light lure rods? Yes, any rod rated up to 28g or 30g will handle this 21.3g lure perfectly, giving you maximum “feel” through the blank.

• What’s the best color for clear water? In very clear water, natural silver or sandeel-style patterns are best. If the water is a bit “mucky” or overcast, a brighter finish or one with high-contrast sides can help the fish lock on.
