DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot Casting Jig 15 g

Product Highlights

The DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot is a metal casting jig created for anglers seeking a simple, effective and highly visible lure underwater. Its flat-sided design generates powerful flashes during descent and retrieval, perfectly imitating an injured or frantic baitfish. This strong visual signature triggers strikes from many predators, both in saltwater and freshwater.

At the rear, a treble hook is fitted with a blade, further increasing the lure's attractiveness. This blade adds additional light flashes and a distinctive vibration, very effective when fish are cautious or visibility is poor. The combination of the compact body and the blade creates a combined visual + vibration signal that helps fish locate the lure quickly.

Designed to be versatile and easy to use, the Drag Metal Cast Shot casts to very long distances and is easy to handle even for beginner anglers. It can be worked in multiple ways: sharp jerks, lift-and-fall retrieves, or simple steady retrieval. This great flexibility makes it an excellent choice for probing different water layers and adapting to the day's fish behavior.

Whether fishing from shore or boat, in coastal areas, estuaries, lakes or rivers, this versatile casting jig allows you to cover large areas quickly, reach distant feeding fish and effectively prospect deep or current-swept zones.

Advantages and Key Strengths

The first advantage of the Drag Metal Cast Shot is its ability to cast very far. Its dense, streamlined body reduces wind resistance, allowing you to reach feeding fish or marks beyond the range of bulkier lures. This long-range capability is valuable on large beaches, rocky points, breakwaters or large inland waters.

Its action on the fall is another major strength. Falling side-to-side, the jig produces a succession of flashes that imitate a small baitfish in distress. The blade enhances this signal and continues to emit bursts even as the lure slows, prolonging its attractiveness. Many strikes therefore occur on the fall, with the line semi-tight as the lure "glides" in the water.

The DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot metal lure also stands out for its wide range of working styles. A series of rod snaps interspersed with pauses gives it an erratic motion that entices active fish. In lift-and-fall retrieves, allowing the jig to descend on a semi-tight line makes it glide and sweep a wide area, ideal for prospecting uneven bottoms. On a simple steady retrieve, it remains very fishable while retaining its flashes and vibrations.

Finally, its ease of use makes it an excellent choice for starting jig fishing while staying technical enough to satisfy experienced anglers. Simply vary retrieval speed, swim height and animation rhythm to quickly adapt to current conditions.

How to Use

To get the most from the DUO Drag Metal Cast Shot, cast as far as possible toward areas likely to hold active fish: visible boils, current edges, drop-offs, rock heads, breaks or bait-holding marks. Let it sink while keeping slight tension on the line to feel any strikes during the fall.

A first approach is to use a jerk-style retrieve: after the drop, retrieve with rod jerks of varying amplitude, interspersed with short pauses. The lure will dart and fall in a fluttering motion, often triggering strikes from aggressive fish.

For lift-and-fall fishing, lift the jig off the bottom with a long pull, then let it fall back on a semi-tight line. It will glide through the water column while emitting flashes and vibrations, which is very effective for prospecting large areas and locating fish holding near the bottom.

For a simpler approach, opt for a steady retrieve at a constant or slightly varied speed. This method works well when fish are following but hesitant, or when you are new to this type of lure. Adjust the speed according to fish activity and desired swimming depth.

A suitable spinning or casting rod for lure fishing, paired with a smooth reel and quality line, will let you fully exploit the performance of this casting jig in both saltwater and freshwater.
