DUO Drag Metal Cast 40 g Casting Jig

Product highlights

The DUO Drag Metal Cast is a metal casting jig specifically designed to achieve impressive casting distances while remaining very user-friendly. Its compact design and refined profile allow it to cut through the air, punch through wind, and quickly reach predator-holding zones whether you fish from shore or from a boat.

Once in the water, this jig stands out for its great versatility. On a steady retrieve, it displays a very pronounced side-to-side rolling that throws strong flashes and convincingly imitates a fleeing baitfish. On the fall, it retains an especially attractive action capable of triggering pelagic fish as well as predators positioned mid-water. Its ease of animation makes it an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced anglers.

Technical specifications

The Drag Metal Cast belongs to the family of compact, high-density jigs. Its streamlined shape allows it to reach the desired depth quickly, even in current or wind, while maintaining a lively, irregular swim. Designed for lure fishing in saltwater and freshwater, it can be used for cast-and-retrieve as well as vertical fishing, making it a true Swiss Army knife for targeting a wide range of predators.

Its finishes are engineered to best reproduce the appearance and behaviour of small fish preyed upon by gamefish. When paired with appropriate terminal tackle for aggressive fish, the lure withstands repeated strikes and prolonged fights without difficulty. The range offers several variations to suit different depth, current and prey-size conditions, while preserving the same swimming signature that made this model renowned.

• Lure type: compact, dense casting jig


• Target waters: saltwater and freshwater


• Animation: steady retrieve, jerking, vertical jigging


• Swim action: pronounced lateral roll and attractive fall action


• Audience: anglers from beginners to experts seeking a versatile lure

Advantages and strengths

The main advantage of the DUO Drag Metal Cast is its ability to combine long casting range with effective swim action. Where many lures struggle to retain an attractive behaviour after a powerful cast, this jig maintains very lively animation both on the retrieve and on the fall. It lets anglers quickly prospect large areas and connect with fish sometimes far from the caster.

Another strong point is its technical versatility. The same lure can be used for fast trolling, slow retrieves near the bottom, subtle jigging under the boat or bumping along breaks. This variety of possible animations makes it a reliable choice to target predators with different hunting behaviours, whether they feed at the surface, mid-water or close to the bottom. Its simplicity of use allows the angler to focus on prospecting and reading the water without complicating matters with complex rigs.

Usage tips

To get the most from the Drag Metal Cast, start by exploiting its casting potential. Make strong casts toward promising spots (rocky points, surface bust-ups, breaks, schools detected by sonar) and let it sink while controlling your line. A semi-taut line allows the jig to develop its full action on the fall, often decisive with wary fish.

Then vary animations: on a steady retrieve interrupted by pauses, the lure produces an attractive roll and simulates an injured fish. When jerking, deliver sharp rod snaps followed by pauses to provoke sudden direction changes that trigger reflex strikes. In vertical fishing, let it touch bottom then animate it with small successive lifts and drops — ideal for persuading predators holding on the substrate. Don’t hesitate to adapt retrieve speed and swim height according to fish activity and signals seen on the sonar or observed at the surface.
