Available from Ajing Store, the TICT Flopper Bros 55 is a 55 mm, 5.3 g hard lure developed for Japanese light game fishing. Its compact body is designed to cast well, even when a light breeze makes smaller lures difficult to use.

Why Buy the TICT Flopper Bros 55?
The main reason to consider the TICT Flopper Bros 55 is its combination of casting performance and slow, shallow-water presentation.
Many lightweight lures excel in close-range finesse fishing but become harder to cast when the wind picks up. With its 5.3 g weight and 55 mm body, the Flopper Bros 55 is designed to help anglers reach feeding areas farther from the shore without moving to a much larger lure.
Its design also makes it useful when fish are feeding just below the surface and a fast, aggressive retrieve is not the best approach.
1. Excellent Casting Potential in a Compact Lure
The Flopper Bros 55 has a solid body and a relatively high weight for its length. This combination helps it achieve useful casting distance for a small saltwater hard lure.
That can be an advantage when fishing from breakwaters, rocky points and harbour entrances, where predators may be feeding beyond the immediate shoreline.
2. A Slow Swimming Action Just Below the Surface
The TICT Flopper Bros 55 is designed to swim close to the surface, even with a very slow retrieve.
This allows you to keep the lure in the feeding zone when fish are looking upwards for small baitfish. Instead of working it aggressively, start with a steady, slow retrieve and adjust the speed to the conditions.
3. A Horizontal Rolling Fall
When allowed to sink freely, the Flopper Bros 55 produces a horizontal rolling action that imitates a weakened or disoriented baitfish.
This is one of its most interesting features. A fish may follow a lure without attacking during the retrieve, but the pause and falling movement can provide a different opportunity to strike.

Weight: 5.3 g
Lure type: Sinking pencil

How to Fish the TICT Flopper Bros 55
You do not need an aggressive retrieve to make the most of this lure.
Slow and steady retrieve
Cast beyond the area you want to explore and retrieve slowly. Keep the lure moving just beneath the surface, allowing its natural action to do the work.
Retrieve and pause
Retrieve for a few turns, pause and let the lure fall freely. Resume the retrieve and repeat the sequence. Experiment with different pause lengths until you find what works for the fish in front of you.
Search a wider area
Use its casting potential to cover water around rocky points, harbour entrances and breakwaters. Once you locate feeding fish, concentrate your casts on the productive area.
Is the TICT Flopper Bros 55 Right for Your Fishing?
The Flopper Bros 55 is worth considering if you:
Fish shallow coastal areas and rocky shorelines.
Need a compact lure with useful casting distance.
Target fish feeding close to the surface.
Prefer slow retrieves and controlled pauses.
Want to add a Japanese hard lure to your LRF selection.
It is not the ideal choice for every situation. If fish are feeding close to the bottom, or you need to maintain a presentation in deeper water, a soft plastic or a lure designed for deeper fishing may be more suitable.
Choosing the right lure depends on the depth, current, wind and feeding behaviour of the fish. The Flopper Bros 55 is best viewed as a specialised tool for shallow-water presentations.
