DUO Metal Garage Plate Vib – 20 g Vibrating Blade Lure

Product highlights

The DUO Metal Garage Plate Vib is a vibrating metal blade lure specifically designed for anglers who want to quickly cover large water areas. Its streamlined metal blade slices through the air and maintains excellent stability even in windy conditions. Ideal for shore or boat fishing, it offers long-distance casting capability particularly appreciated when fish are holding far from the bank.

Its vibrating blade design generates strong attractive vibrations from the very start of the retrieve. These signals travel far through the water and can trigger strikes from predatory fish, even when they are sluggish. The Metal Garage Plate Vib is therefore perfectly suited to fast prospecting of large or shallow zones, as well as deeper areas when worked in vertical presentations.

Another major advantage lies in its multiple attachment points. Depending on the chosen position, the lure’s behavior changes: it can swim tight and fast or adopt a more pronounced saw-tooth descent. This versatility makes it an excellent choice to adapt to current conditions, fish activity and the type of waterbody.

Technical characteristics

The Metal Garage Plate Vib belongs to the category of vibrating metal blade lures. Its dense metal plate provides excellent casting distance and a rapid fall through the water column. The blade shape is engineered to deliver maximum vibrations and a stable swimming posture during fast retrieves, without deforming or twisting.

The lure is fitted with several attachment eyelets located on the front and dorsal areas. These different tie-in points allow instant modification of the swimming angle and vibration intensity without changing lures. The Metal Garage Plate Vib is therefore particularly well suited to freshwater predatory fishing, whether cast-and-retrieve or vertical presentation over deeper targets.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of the DUO Metal Garage Plate Vib is its ability to reach fish held at long range or mid-water. Thanks to its compact metal construction, it casts far and accurately, allowing anglers to quickly cover large areas. For the angler, this means more time fishing productive zones and therefore more bite opportunities.

Its animation versatility is another strength. Using the foremost attachment produces a tight, highly vibratory swim, effective for quick prospecting on steady retrieves. Choosing the dorsal attachment yields a more pronounced saw-tooth trajectory, alternating pulls and releases, which often triggers strikes from following or wary fish.

The Metal Garage Plate Vib also excels in vertical fishing. Over predators holding deep or located on the fishfinder, it can be worked under the rod with short pulls and pauses, imitating an injured or fleeing baitfish. This approach is particularly effective on sandperch and other predators that form compact schools.

Finally, the build quality combined with DUO’s know-how guarantees a reliable, durable lure with consistent action. The angler thus benefits from a high-performance metal vibrating lure they can trust season after season.

Usage tips

To fully exploit the Metal Garage Plate Vib, adapt the animation to depth and fish activity. For quick prospecting of shallow or mid-depth zones, use the foremost attachment and perform a steady retrieve at varying speeds, sometimes adding short pauses to let the lure flash on the fall.

When fish are cautious or following without striking, switch to the dorsal attachment and adopt a saw-tooth presentation. Cast, allow the lure to sink to the desired depth, then animate with sharp pulls followed by controlled pauses. This alternation of sudden rises and vibrating falls often provokes bites on the drop.

In vertical fishing, position yourself above identified targets (breaklines, rock heads, fish arches) and let the lure sink to the desired depth. Then animate with small wrist flicks, alternating short pulls and pauses. Stay attentive—many strikes occur during the descent or pause, when the Metal Garage Plate Vib oscillates and emits strong vibrations.
