Product Details and Uses

Ocean Born Flying Pencil 160 SK – 16cm 90g

The Long-Range Hybrid: Cast Further, Catch More

The Ocean Born Flying Pencil 160 SK (Sinking) is the “heavy artillery” of the lure world. Designed by legendary tackle engineer Patrick Sébile, this lure was built to solve the ultimate angler’s frustration: fish breaking the surface just out of casting range.

At 16cm and 90g, the 160 SK is a sinking powerhouse. It features patented side wings that provide lift in the water and stability in the air, along with low-friction ribs (similar to the dimples on a golf ball) that reduce air resistance.³ This allows you to punch a massive bait into a stiff headwind and reach the predators that others simply can’t.

Why the Flying Pencil 160 SK is a Game-Changer:

Unmatched Versatility: By simply changing your retrieve speed or rod cadence, you can make this lure pop, spit, “walk the dog,” or slow-swim just beneath the surface.
Sinking Stability: The SK model allows you to count the lure down. If the fish aren’t hitting the surface, you can work it through the mid-water column where the big predators often linger.
“Big Game” Hardware: Ready for the fight of a lifetime, it comes rigged with 4X extra-strong treble hooks and heavy-duty split rings.

Where to Use the Flying Pencil 160 SK in the UK

Offshore for Bluefin Tuna: As Tuna fishing explodes across the South West and Wales, the 160 SK has become a top-tier choice. Its 90g weight is perfect for heavy boat setups, allowing you to launch into feeding frenzies from a safe distance.
Deep Tidal Races (The Alderney Race & Channel Islands): In areas with massive currents, the sinking 90g weight helps the lure stay “in the zone” without being swept away. It mimics a large, panicked mackerel perfectly.
The “Atlantic Surf” of Cornwall: When the swell is huge and the wind is onshore, most lures fail. The Flying Pencil 160 SK cuts through the gale, reaching the deep gullies behind the breakers where Double-Figure Bass patrol.
Specimen Pollack over Wrecks: Use the sinking action to drop the lure deep over offshore wrecks. A slow, swimming retrieve back to the surface is often too much for a big Pollack to resist.

The Gerry’s Fishing Verdict:

This is a “pro-level” lure for anglers targeting the biggest predators our waters have to offer. It is a true hybrid—a stickbait that pops and a popper that swims. If you need to “reach the unreachable,” the Flying Pencil 160 SK is the tool for the job.
