DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot 40 g Jigger Spoon

Product highlights

The DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot is a compact metal jig casting lure engineered to reach long casting distances while remaining easy to use. Thanks to its compact profile and flat sides, it produces powerful flashes and a very attractive action as soon as it hits the water.

This metal lure stands out with its treble hook mounted at the tail and fitted with a blade. This blade enhances the already strong visual signals during side-to-side descent while adding extra vibration. The result is a combined light/vibration stimulus that attracts predators even when the water is stained or light levels are low.

Designed for both saltwater and freshwater fishing, the Drag Metal Cast Shot covers a wide range of conditions and depths. It is equally effective for exploring coastal areas, beaches and estuaries as it is for large lakes, rivers or canals when targeting active predatory fish.

One of its major strengths lies in its animation versatility. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, you can fish it with vertical jigging, pulls, darting or simple straight retrieves without complex technique. It’s a versatile predator lure that adapts to your fishing style and fish behavior.

Advantages and strengths

The DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot jig casting offers many benefits for the modern angler seeking a single lure capable of covering numerous situations.

Its primary strength is its versatility. By simply varying retrieve speed, swimming height and pause rhythm, you can target active midwater fish as well as predators holding near the bottom. It allows you to quickly sweep large areas in search of bait schools and the predators that follow them.

Its dense, aerodynamic profile ensures very long casts. This lets you reach areas normally out of range, whether from shore or from a boat. You can prospect distant chases or deep breaks without excessive movement.

The Drag Metal Cast Shot’s flat sides generate a pronounced side-to-side action on the fall. Combined with the tail blade, this creates a mix of flashes and vibrations that triggers strikes both during the fall and on the retrieve. Strikes are often decisive, improving hook-up rates.

Finally, it is a lure that’s easy to use. Beginners appreciate its ability to catch fish on a simple straight retrieve, while experienced anglers can fully exploit it with sharp jerks, long pulls and controlled pauses. It fits perfectly into a fast-prospecting approach, whether to locate fish or to work a productive spot thoroughly.

How to use

To get the best results from the DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot, start with a long cast toward likely fish-holding areas: current seams, rockheads, baitfish schools or marked breaks. Let the lure fall to the desired depth while watching your line; many strikes occur on the fall.

A first approach is to use a stick-and-drop animation: a series of rod twitches to make the lure hop, followed by short pauses with the line semi-tight to let it plane and oscillate side-to-side. This action is particularly effective for triggering strikes from following fish.

In both saltwater and freshwater, a pulling technique also works very well: perform a long high-rod pull, then maintain contact while accompanying the fall. This technique helps prospect intermediate water layers and keep the jig in the predators' feeding zone.

When fish are scattered or inactive, opt for a straight retrieve varying only the speed. A fast retrieve can imitate a panic-struck baitfish, while a slower, steady retrieve often entices wary fish.

Always adapt your retrieve to conditions: wind, currents, depth and fish activity. Don’t hesitate to alternate retrieve styles during the same session to find the rhythm that produces the most strikes.
