DUO Press Bait HD 125 Sinking Lure - 12.5 cm

Product benefits

The DUO Press Bait 125 is a long-distance casting lure for saltwater fishing, engineered to reach fish where they hunt, often well offshore. Its design allows it to be cast very far, making it a top choice for anglers who regularly face headwinds, swell and coastal currents.

This lure was developed to maintain a stable trajectory both during the cast and retrieval. It easily handles fast animations, high speeds and rhythm changes, making it deadly on active pelagic fish. Whether fishing from a beach, jetty, rocks or a boat, the Press Bait 125 lets you cover a very wide area.

Another major advantage is its ability to swim at different depths. Depending on retrieval speed, rod angle and sink time, you can explore the surface, the mid-column or deeper layers. This versatility lets you adapt to current conditions and predator behavior.

Advantages and strengths

The primary advantage of the DUO Press Bait 125 is undoubtedly its ability to cast extreme distances. When bust-ups occur far offshore or you need to reach a specific spot, it gains you precious meters and presents the lure right where active fish are feeding. Windy days, often a source of frustration, become much more productive.

Its versatility is another major strong point. The Press Bait 125 performs well in varied environments: beach fronts, current lines, estuaries, rocky points, shallow flats or quickly dropping ledges. It suits both fast prospecting and focused work over marked areas by alternating pauses and accelerations.

Designed to target powerful marine predators, it absorbs violent runs and sustained fights without complaint. Tuna and other pelagics respond: its realistic profile and natural action trigger decisive strikes, even from wary or pressured fish.

In short, this lure combines three essential qualities for the sea: casting distance, stability in tough conditions and depth versatility. It is a true “Swiss Army knife” for coastal and offshore fishing enthusiasts.

Usage tips

To get the most from the DUO Press Bait 125, use it with a balanced setup: a saltwater rod with fast or fast-medium action and a sturdy reel spooled with a fine but strong braid. A fluorocarbon leader matched to target species completes the rig perfectly.

When casting, make full use of your rod length to exploit its distance potential. On the retrieve, a fast straight retrieve punctuated by short pauses works particularly well to provoke strikes from feeding fish. You can also alternate longer pulls with sustained retrievals to vary swimming depth.

In headwinds and onshore waves, the Press Bait 125 remains very stable. Keep the rod slightly low to reduce line windage and maintain constant contact with the lure. In strong currents, adapt retrieve speed so the lure stays active without stalling.

When bust-ups erupt at distance, aim for the edges of the activity rather than the center. Cast beyond the visible zone and retrieve across the feeding line. The long-range prospecting power of this long-casting saltwater lure will multiply your strike opportunities.
