About this piece
The Duel Hardcore Heavy Shot is a heavy sinking pencil lure designed for long-distance casting and subsurface retrieves. Its compact lip grips the water well, enabling fast straight retrieves just under the surface while the forward rolling (shimmy) fall action triggers strikes from sea bass, flatfish, bluefish, and rockfish in saltwater environments.
Key features
- Extreme casting performance with heavy weight and aerodynamic shape
- Small lip grips water for high-speed subsurface retrieve
- Forward rolling fall (shimmy fall) to provoke reaction bites
- Available in multiple sizes; this is the 125mm 40g variant
Best for
- Saltwater: sea bass, flatfish, bluefish, and rockfish
- Fishing in windy conditions or long-distance situations
- Fast subsurface retrieve presentations near the surface
