DUO Onimasu Masakage Slim 120 F 12 cm Floating Lure

Product highlights

The DUO Onimasu Masakage Slim is a technical, high-performance floating minnow designed for anglers seeking a refined hard bait. Its particularly slim shape reduces water resistance and enables a smooth, fluid action that closely mimics the natural behavior of a baitfish. This realistic presentation triggers bites from the most wary predators and improves hookup rates in heavily fished areas.

Thanks to its finely profiled body, this hard bait for predators also offers reduced air resistance. It thus achieves longer casting distances more easily, helping to quickly cover wide sectors and reach distant or hard-to-access spots. Whether from the bank or a boat, the Onimasu Masakage Slim allows efficient coverage of areas where active fish are holding.

Exceptionally stable in strong currents, this DUO hard bait maintains a steady trajectory while remaining highly responsive to subtle rod inputs. It withstands forceful animations without coming off the strike, making it particularly suited to fast retrieves or situations where you need to provoke an aggressive reaction from predators.

Technical features

Advantages and strengths

This floating minnow from DUO stands out by combining three major assets: long casting range, stability in current and very realistic action. This combination makes it a preferred ally to track a wide variety of predators across many holding positions.

Its ease of use is another strong point. Even with a steady linear retrieve, the Onimasu Masakage Slim produces an effective action that quickly attracts active fish. In the hands of an experienced angler it becomes a precision tool, able to adapt to complex presentations and frequent rhythm changes.

For sessions where fish hold in strong currents, this floating hard bait stays on line, does not come off at the surface and continues to perform where other lures saturate or fail. Its excellent holding in the water keeps the presentation in the correct layer even in the presence of turbulence or counter-currents.

Finally, its ability to achieve long casting distances lets you fish farther without overexerting, cover more ground and target less wary fish. This advantage is valuable on large sectors or when you need to reach an opposite bank, a shallow ledge or a distant break.

Usage tips

The Onimasu Masakage Slim performs well on a moderate-speed linear retrieve, letting the floating minnow work on its own action. This simple approach is ideal for beginners with the lure or for quickly probing an unknown area.

To trigger more hesitant fish, vary speeds and add pauses. Use the lure’s buoyancy to let it rise slightly, then resume retrieving: these rhythm changes convincingly imitate an injured or struggling fish.

In marked currents, position yourself to present the lure three-quarters upstream or three-quarters downstream and let it work in the current seam while simply controlling line tension. Its remarkable stability in current allows you to maintain control throughout the drift.

Don’t hesitate to experiment with different animations (twitches, sharp pulls, accelerations followed by pauses) to identify what triggers the most strikes depending on season, water temperature and fish activity.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this floating minnow reserved for strong currents?

Answer: No. While it excels in strong water seams thanks to its high stability, the Onimasu Masakage Slim remains very effective in calmer waters. It can be used for fast prospecting over large areas as well as precise work along edges, with slow or dynamic animations depending on conditions.
