DUO
Merging form and function into perfect unity
Functional beauty exists and can even be extremely successful! If you don't believe the words, just take a Duo wobbler with you on your next fishing trip and see for yourself. The unity between form and function, however, is achieved through the difficult path of daily efforts, and Masahiro Adachi, chief designer and CEO of Duo International, knows this very well. As one of the most famous and respected bait masters in Japan, he does not use the usual drawings and software. Each of his projects starts with a kind of woodcarving, only on ABS plastic and only then comes the turn of precise 3D laser scanning. Because its models are original, it takes months to perfect them, but in the end the craft beginning and the design process with the complex game of real fish in mind lead to the so-called in creative language "Better Than the Real One" lures. Whether they are better than the real ones, we can judge only by the impartial "opinion" of the predators, and it is more than eloquent!
For its relatively short history, Duo boasts a legacy of wobblers that many well-known and older brands do not have - over 300 models of original high-quality lures, with tens of millions of units sold in the first 20 years alone. To follow traditions and innovate, not to give up handicrafts and to produce their products only in Japan, without outsourcing outside the country for cheaper products, to adhere to the true understanding of quality in the Land of the Rising Sun, known like Nippon Quality - it's all part of Duo's philosophy. Given their success so far and the recognition by the fishing industry in a country that is largely considered a leader in the production of lures worldwide, it seems that they have chosen a successful strategy!
The large and diverse family of Duo Realis lures can offer you a lot of action in both freshwater exploits and sea fishing. The name of the series suggests very clearly its design - the most realistic in appearance and game bait, whether it is silicone, pоpper or other highly effective wobblers.
Each model is equally successful in its "specialty" and the effect of the colors plus the natural action will very quickly bring you the desired predatory attention. Of course, the great design is well provided by the strength of the body and the sharpness of the hooks, so do not hesitate even for a moment how the fight will end - if something from the equipment misleads you, it will not be the bait!

Spearhead Ryuki series wobblers are exceptional fighters - originally created for trout fishing, the gang of "attackers" quickly proved their ability to swim well in the current and catch other freshwater predators. Their design and balance are particularly suitable for aggressive wiring, and their capabilities have been successful on the saltwater front.
Duo reacted and for some of the models created special SW series with colors for sea fishing, with the tendency to continue with the others. Depending on the size of the bait, sea predators such as dorado, sea bass, leerfish, barracuda, tuna and mackerel, easily succumb to the charm of Ryuki and bring new emotions in the hours spent with a favorite hobby.

The Duo Tide Minnow and Tide Minnow Slim series are extremely spectacular and effective wobblers for sea fishing of almost every pet tooth on the Greek coast, and not only there. The long casting distances are embedded in the DNA of each of the models, and the uncompromising balance ensures a stable flight even in stormy weather.
They are also great swimmers, with a dynamic, swirling game that makes them shine defiantly and far away with their attractive colors. Catching tuna, barracuda, sea bass, leerfish, bonito, dorado, phagri and other sea predators in their company is as successful as it is fun.

Two more of Duo's bands that can be written about for a long time, but it's best to see and feel them in action. With a long list of benefits, the Rough Trail Hydra is a one-way ticket to the mouths of trophy specimens of more than one sea predator, and the combined Jig-Minnow shape of the Rough Trail Malice is precisely balanced to avoid rapid sinking against its weight . He is an excellent actor on the theme of "helplessly released prey".
Depending on the size, BayRuf Manic goes crazy with its mind-boggling game of tuna, barracuda, sea bass, leerfish, mackerel, dorado, bonito and even asps if it's on hand for freshwater outings. Extremely effective wobblers for feats on the Greek coast!

Duo jigs are the same great masters of long flight as wobblers, as well as appetizing sinking. Each of them has a specific behavior, but on the topic of attractive and quality colors, detailed workmanship, realistic eyes and sharp hooks, all are equally well prepared to provoke and resist predatory attacks.
Duo Tetra Works Tetra Jig, for example, features a unique vertical fishing game and is an ideal replacement for the usual winter lures for ice fishing, while the Drag Metal Cast SSZ has an extremely thin, innovative body made of zinc capable of even greater casting distances and allows the capture of larger areas.

The well-rounded body of the Duo Beach Walker Guado will repel smaller fish from attack, but will provoke larger predators to strike, which is exactly its goal. The wobbler is intended mainly for fishing for flat demersal fish such as turbot, flounder, halibut, flounder and others.
Silicones Duo Realis V-Tail Shad and Tetra Works Burny promise new numbers for suspicious fish plus large doses of realism, and the little Tetra Works Toto 42S is an ideal wobbler for fishing in ports or places with a predominantly rocky structure and strong current.

The combat readiness of the original trebles and assist hooks of the Duo is very well known to any angler who cast with Spearhed Ryuki, Tetra Works or Tetra Works TetraJig. Sharp tips, efficiency and strength are preferred for replacement, including baits from other brands. In addition, the Tetra Works series are extremely precisely tuned and the use of hooks of a certain shape and weight is key to their game.
