Product Details and Uses

Ocean Born Flying Pencil 160 FL – 16cm 68g

The Surface Hunter: Reach the Unreachable

The Ocean Born Flying Pencil 160 FL (Floating) is designed for the angler who needs a large-profile surface lure that doesn’t compromise on distance. Engineered by Patrick Sébile, this lure features a unique aerodynamic design that allows it to “fly” through the air, making it one of the longest-casting floating stickbaits on the market.

At 16cm and 68g, the 160 FL provides a significant target for large predators. Unlike the sinking version, this model is highly buoyant, allowing for a wide range of topwater presentations. Its patented side wings provide lift and stability during the cast, while the low-friction ribs reduce air resistance, helping you reach feeding frenzies that are usually out of range for standard lures.

Why the Flying Pencil 160 FL is a Surface Essential:

Versatile Action: Depending on your rod work, you can make this lure “Walk the Dog,” skip across the surface like a panicked garfish, or pop and spit like a surface popper.
Maximum Surface Presence: The 16cm profile mimics large baitfish like mackerel, herring, or mullet, making it the perfect “big fish” trigger.
Tough-as-Nails Construction: Built to handle high-impact surface strikes, it features 4X extra-strong treble hooks and heavy-duty hardware that won’t let you down when a trophy fish hits.

Where to Use the Flying Pencil 160 FL in the UK

South West Coast Bluefin Tuna: As Tuna fishing becomes a staple of the UK summer, the 160 FL is a top-tier choice for working the surface. Its large splash and “skittering” action perfectly mimic a mackerel fleeing for its life.
The Atlantic Reefs (Cornwall & West Wales): This is a “specimen” lure. Use it when you are targeting Double-Figure Bass over shallow, turbulent reefs. The 68g weight allows you to stand back from the ledge and still reach the “strike zone.”
Morecambe Bay Channels: For our local anglers, this is a fantastic tool for searching the deep-water channels as the tide floods. The floating action ensures you can work it over submerged sandbars without snagging.
Scottish Sea Lochs: A brilliant search-bait for large Pollack and even Pike in the brackish margins. Its ability to “walk the dog” on the surface is a proven winner in calm, clear lochs.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict:

The Flying Pencil 160 FL is a “blank-breaker.” It’s the lure you tie on when the fish are active on top but just won’t come close to the shore or boat. It casts like a dream and is tough enough to handle anything the UK sea can throw at it.
