In boat seabass fishing, precision in every single cast directly determines the result.

As the boat drifts, conditions change moment by moment.
Casting into tight spots or along structure demands instant judgment and absolute accuracy.
What matters most is the ability to deliver the lure precisely to the intended line and impart the exact action you envision.

The Apis Series was developed with a strong focus on the process before the hook-up.
It is a shooting-focused series designed to push cast accuracy and lure control to the highest level, allowing anglers to execute their intentions with confidence in demanding situations.

The core concept of the Apis Series lies in its ability to precisely build the most critical aspect of lure fishing—the process leading up to the hook-up—exactly as the angler intends.

To achieve this, both models are designed with increased blank tension, delivering high responsiveness and crisp feedback.
The rod naturally loads with the weight of the lure and releases it cleanly at the intended timing, making it easy to execute accurate casts.

Special emphasis was also placed on maintaining a stable trajectory across various casting forms, including flip casts and side casts, ensuring consistent performance regardless of situation.

During lure operation, the blank’s firmness never becomes overbearing.
Instead, it faithfully transfers the angler’s input directly to the lure, allowing precise control over the intended action.

Through the rod, subtle information becomes clearly perceptible—changes in lure posture, the weight of current flow, differences in water pressure, and even the slightest irregularities that signal opportunity.
By delivering this essential information accurately to the angler, the Apis Series enables confident decision-making, whether maintaining tempo in fast-paced situations or methodically working through challenging conditions.

In recent years, rising water temperatures and increased fishing pressure have made boat seabass fishing progressively more demanding.
Under such conditions, the question becomes how precisely one can approach the fish, and how consistently that approach can be reproduced.

The Apis Series was developed with these challenges in mind—offering anglers a refined, high-precision tool that elevates both accuracy and enjoyment in modern boat seabass games.

SilverStream 72 Apis

• Length: 7ft 2in (Closed Length: 1138mm)

• Lure: 7g–28g

• Line: PE 0.6–1.5

• Weight: 101g

• Price: Please ask our authorized dealer in your region

The 72 Apis is a rod designed for anglers who place greater value on how they trigger a bite and how they construct the game, rather than focusing solely on the fight after the hook-up.

It excels at delivering crisp, high-tempo actions such as dog-walking with jerkbaits and pencil baits around 15g, as well as sharp, well-defined popping with poppers.
During steady retrieves, subtle twitches and short jerks can be applied effortlessly, allowing anglers to precisely create those critical, fleeting “bite-triggering pauses.”

At the same time, the 72 Apis is not simply a rod built on stiffness alone.
When working finesse lures such as straight-running, micro-vibration pencils commonly used during the bashi-nuke season, it offers exceptional sensitivity—clearly transmitting lure presence, water grip, and subtle feedback—while retaining enough forgiveness to support delicate retrieves.

While its core application is boat seabass fishing, the 72 Apis also performs exceptionally well in light casting scenarios targeting pelagic species such as Spanish mackerel and dolphinfish using jigs or blade jigs.
Additionally, it adapts seamlessly to technical shore casting in harbors and waterfront structures, where precise lure control and refined rod work are required.

SilverStream 71B Apis

• Length: 7ft 1in (Closed Length: 1122mm)

• Lure: 10g–35g

• Line: PE 0.8–2

• Weight: 107g

• Price: Please ask our authorized dealer in your region

This comparison table shows the bending characteristics of both Apis models under static loads of 500 g and 1 kg.

500 g Static Load

Under a 500 g static load, the 72 Apis exhibits a tip section that rebounds powerfully against the applied load, delivering an exceptionally crisp and sharp feel.
Tip deflection at the moment of release is thoroughly suppressed, enabling highly accurate pinpoint casts that precisely penetrate narrow gaps along structures.

While the tip retains firmness, the belly section is tuned with supple follow-through, allowing even lightweight lures under 10 g to be handled smoothly without casting trouble.
Despite its short length, the rod also demonstrates high-level long-cast performance by effectively utilizing its inherent tension.

In contrast, the 71B Apis, under the same 500 g static load, absorbs the load with a noticeably more flexible bend than the 72 Apis, offering outstanding compliance and follow-through.
The bend from the tip through the belly directly transmits lure water resistance and posture changes during retrieval to the angler’s hand, delivering precise control and enabling intentional lure manipulation.

During casting, the lure’s weight loads smoothly onto the blank, making release timing easy to judge.
Even in constrained or off-balance casting situations, the rod flexes responsively, allowing efficient, rhythmic presentations deep into tight structure zones or under docks—demonstrating the superior casting accuracy unique to baitcasting setups.

Comparison with RealCresent RC-75 (Reference at 500 g Load)

For reference, the 500 g static load comparison also includes the RealCresent RC-75, a model of similar length.
The RC-75 is designed for light to mid-class casting games, accommodating targets such as oversized ajing and mebaring fish, as well as chinning and seabass fishing.

Compared to the RC-75, the Apis Series is set at a distinctly higher power class, providing sufficient reserve strength to handle fights with lunker-class fish.
At the same time, its blank design preserves refined operability, establishing the Apis Series as a mid-class casting rod that maintains precise control even with lightweight lures.

While this article has focused primarily on boat seabass fishing, both models in the Apis Series deliver outstanding performance not only in boat casting but also across a wide range of shore-based games.

In delicate scenarios such as small rivers and inner-bay fisheries, as well as deep wading situations where maneuverability is critical, the Apis Series excels.
It also proves highly effective in medium to large rivers where tall bushes and dense trees restrict casting space—situations where long-length rods simply cannot be used effectively.

In these confined and technical environments, the compact length and precise controllability of the Apis Series truly come into their own, offering a level of adaptability and performance that defines its unique strength.

The Apis Series consists of two models that share the same core concept, while offering distinct differences in operational feel and approach performance.

SilverStream 72 Apis — A Model Designed to Trigger Bites Through Tempo and Contrast

• Ideal for anglers who prefer spinning tackle and want to develop the game with speed and rhythm

• Optimized for crisp, high-contrast actions such as jerks, dog-walking, and popping

• Well suited for light casting applications targeting Spanish mackerel and other small pelagic species

• Performs exceptionally in medium-sized rivers and structure-oriented scenarios where a balance of casting distance and pinpoint accuracy is required

The Apis Series was developed to connect an angler’s intent and precise rod work directly to real results—whether in inshore casting games such as boat seabass fishing, where every cast demands high-level control and judgment, or in shore-based games that require exceptionally accurate approaches.

By refining the process leading up to the hook-up to its absolute limits, the Apis Series enables anglers to execute a complete and highly refined sequence—from approach to bite—even in complex currents and under severe conditions.

Target, trace, and trigger.
To clearly and consistently execute this sequence, the Apis Series sharpens the angler’s senses and intent, elevating mid-class casting games into a more strategic, more reproducible, and ultimately more rewarding experience.

The SilverStream 72 Apis and 71B Apis are scheduled for release in late May 2026.
