DUO Drag Metal Cast 20 g Casting Jig

Product highlights

The DUO Drag Metal Cast is a compact casting jig designed for anglers who want long casting distance, versatility and effectiveness across a wide variety of predatory species. Its shape allows it to fly very far on the cast, even into the wind, reaching holding zones that are inaccessible with bulkier lures.

Once in the water, this metal lure stands out for its ability to adapt to many different animations. It can be retrieved on a simple steady retrieve, worked with jerking motions using sharp rod tips, or used in vertical jigging near the bottom to trigger bites from stationed fish. This high flexibility makes it an ideal tool to quickly scan an area and find the cadence that provokes strikes.

The Drag Metal Cast also excels on the fall: letting the lure drop on a semi-loose line gives it a particularly attractive action for pelagic fish, which often strike a lure in free fall. Its ability to catch fish both on the retrieve and during the fall makes it a versatile lure for saltwater and freshwater.

Easy to use and effective from shore or from a boat, it has become a true reference for many lure anglers who appreciate its consistency and reliability in very varied conditions.

Advantages and strengths

The primary strength of the DUO Drag Metal Cast is its ability to be cast very long distances. This casting performance allows anglers to cover maximum ground and reach distant feeding events, breaks or current seams where predators often hold. For shore anglers, this is a decisive advantage that opens many possibilities.

Its animation versatility is another major advantage. On a steady retrieve, the lure adopts a regular roll that imitates fleeing baitfish, ideal for provoking attacks from active predators. With more erratic, jerky animations using rod jerks, it produces sudden flashes and direction changes that stimulate the predatory instincts of following or wary fish.

Used in vertical jigging near the bottom, the Drag Metal Cast becomes a formidable tool to trigger bites from ambushed predators along structures, breaks or rocky reliefs. A few vertical tugs, punctuated by controlled pauses, often suffice to provoke a strike.

Its performance on the fall also makes the difference: allowing the lure to sink on a semi-loose line makes it flutter and oscillate in a highly attractive way. This phase is often decisive for pelagic or suspended fish that take advantage of the prey’s apparent vulnerability during the fall to strike.

Finally, its ease of use is appreciable: beginners quickly get results using simple animations, while experienced anglers can refine their presentations to maximize performance in every situation. It’s an effective and reliable lure that fits easily into any tackle box.

Usage tips

To exploit the full potential of the Drag Metal Cast, adapt the animation to fishing conditions and fish activity. At the start of a search, a medium-speed steady retrieve with occasional pauses often helps locate active fish quickly.

If you get follows without hookups, don’t hesitate to energize the presentation with sharper rod jerks followed by controlled drops. This alternation of pulls and free-fall mimics an injured baitfish and can trigger reflex strikes.

To target fish holding close to the bottom, let the lure sink to the desired depth, then work it in vertical jigging with short upward tugs while keeping light contact with the line. Pay special attention to the fall phases, which are often rewarded with strikes.

In snaggy or rocky areas, adjust retrieve speed and swimming height to minimize hang-ups while staying close enough to the bottom to interest predators. Also vary cadence and stroke amplitude regularly to find what works best on the day.
