SHIMANO TP-ORCA Floating 160 Squid Lure — Long Cast, Erratic Pop & Dive Action

Overview

The SHIMANO TP-ORCA Floating 160 Squid lure combines buoyant balance with a purpose-built profile to cover water efficiently. Designed to float, it presents a lifelike silhouette across a range of depths and conditions, helping you reach productive zones without sacrificing control. This lure invites curiosity with its crisp line control and confident handling, making it a versatile addition to a modern tackle kit. While results can vary by environment, the design intends to offer a compelling presentation that can work across inshore and nearshore settings.

Smart design for longer casts

Air resistance is minimized by an aerodynamic shape, which helps you reach farther spots where fish often feed. The floating body remains buoyant in the water column, aiding a stable, predictable presentation even when wind or current challenge your aim. For anglers chasing distance, this design can expand your casting range and reduce fatigue over long sessions.

Internal weight for erratic pop and dive

The internal weight positioning generates an erratic pop and dive action during retrieves. This deliberate, lifelike motion mimics a fleeing prey, which can be more engaging in varied water conditions and around structure. The effect is subtle enough to avoid over-dramatization, yet distinct enough to attract attention from nearby fish.

Reliability on the strike

Ultra sharp, high-tensile-strength treble hooks are mounted to ensure strong hookups when a bite occurs. The hook arrangement aims to resist bending under typical casting loads and when fighting a fish, offering dependable performance through repeated use.

How this lure can fit into your kit

Floating lures like the TP-ORCA strike a balance between visibility and control, enabling a versatile approach from surface to mid-water depths. The 160 Squid variant provides size and buoyancy that can be effective across species and water conditions, making it a practical option for anglers building a multi-depth approach.

Practical notes

While the lure’s action is designed to be effective under a range of conditions, we recommend testing cadence and depth in your local waters to determine what works best for your target species and season. The TP-ORCA is built to complement a thoughtful fishing approach, not to guarantee outcomes, but to offer a compelling option for dynamic presentations on the water.
