Xorus Asturie 130 Surface Lure130mm - 27g Floating

Overview

Overview

The Xorus Asturie 130 is a floating surface lure designed for long-casting sea bass fishing along the UK coast. Measuring 130mm and weighing approximately 27g, it features an aerodynamic, wind-tunnel-tested body built to maximise casting distance and accuracy.

Inside the lure sits an internal rattling system that adds audible attraction to its surface disturbance, helping draw feeding bass from a distance. The body shape and weight distribution have been specifically developed to allow anglers to work the lure across the surface or just beneath it, giving more control over presentation than a typical pencil-style stickbait.

Perfect For

The Asturie 130 is particularly well suited to bass anglers fishing coastal marks where casting distance and precise lure control make the difference between a missed opportunity and a hooked fish. It covers open water effectively from rocky shorelines, beaches and coastal headlands.

It can also be worked over shallow rocky ground, gullies, reef edges and suitable estuary stretches, provided there's enough depth to avoid snagging the trebles. Its ability to fish on or just beneath the surface makes it a useful follow-up option when bass are seen following a conventional surface lure without committing to a strike.

Technical Insight

The Asturie's streamlined, wind-tunnel-tested body is engineered around casting performance, with balanced weight distribution that helps it travel efficiently through the air on long casts across open water. This aerodynamic profile is paired with a wide, sliding walk-the-dog action created through rhythmic rod-tip twitches, producing longer, sweeping side-to-side movements rather than the short, sharp turns typical of a standard pencil lure.

A high rod-tip position keeps the lure tracking across the surface, while adjusting rod angle and retrieve speed can coax it to dip just beneath the waterline. Two Decoy treble hooks - a TS21 pattern beneath the body and a YS21 at the tail - provide the hook-up points for this action, rounding out a lure built specifically with UK sea bass fishing in mind.
