DUO Rough Trail Blazin Sinking Lure 92 - 9.2 cm

Product highlights

The Rough Trail Blazin immediately stands out for its exceptional density. For a minnow designed for tuna fishing, this feature is decisive: it lets the lure cut through the air brilliantly and reach casting distances rarely matched. Whether fishing from a boat or shore, you thus cover a larger area and more easily reach distant feeding activity.

This tuna lure is particularly suitable when fish target small surface prey or just under the film of water. Thanks to its high density, it remains easy to propel with a sufficiently powerful rod, without having to drop to overly light models. You therefore keep a robust setup capable of withstanding violent runs from tuna and other large pelagics.

In fishing action, the Rough Trail Blazin performs ideally on a fast, straight retrieve. Its tight, steady swimming mimics a fleeing baitfish, triggering reflex strikes from predators on the hunt. Line hold remains stable even at high speed, a major advantage for casting in wind, current or swell.

Versatile, this high-density saltwater minnow meets the expectations of technical anglers and enthusiasts who want to target tuna with safety and efficiency.

Technical features

The Rough Trail Blazin is a dense minnow specifically designed for powerful saltwater fishing. Its construction addresses the demands of fights with large predators: repeated casts, fast animations, and high line tensions.

• High-density sinking minnow engineered to achieve very long casting distances.


• Suited for tuna and pelagic predator fishing when they are feeding on small prey.


• Optimal action on a fast, straight retrieve, without loss of contact or twisting.


• Stable behavior in wind, swell and current for reliable line hold.


• Designed for rod and tackle setups with sufficient power to control large fish.


• Available in multiple variations to adapt to many fishing situations.

Benefits and strengths

One of the Rough Trail Blazin's main strengths lies in its weight-to-size ratio: its high density allows it to maintain a profile close to natural prey while delivering casting performance comparable to a much bulkier lure. For the angler, this means a more realistic presentation even at long range.

Its ability to be worked very quickly in a straight retrieve without losing contact makes it a formidable tool to intercept fleeting chases. When tuna move fast and change zones in seconds, being able to cast far, retrieve quickly and keep the lure perfectly on line is a decisive advantage.

This saltwater tuna lure also lets you stay on comfortably powered rods without sacrificing distance. You therefore retain a good power reserve to control fish, shorten fight duration and reduce fatigue for both angler and fish.

Usage tips

The Rough Trail Blazin is most effective for casting fishing on active chases. Locate tuna or predator chases, position the boat (or your shore position) to avoid spooking them, then cast beyond the activity zone and retrieve at high speed through the school.

A fast, straight retrieve is the foundation: rod low, steady reel cadence, without marked pauses. You can, however, slightly vary speed or add brief bursts to imitate a panicked baitfish and provoke additional strikes when activity drops.

Match mainline and leader diameter to the size of the target fish while keeping a setup powerful enough to take full advantage of the lure’s high density. A well-set drag and firm but progressive hooking motions will help limit hook-offs on high-speed strikes.

Testimonials

“Since I started using the Rough Trail Blazin, I can finally reach tuna chases that seemed out of range. Casts go far, the lure holds the line perfectly on fast retrieves and strikes are often violent. A must-have in my box for all offshore trips.”

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this minnow reserved for tuna fishing?

Answer: The Rough Trail Blazin was designed for tuna fishing at sea, especially when they chase small prey, but its high density and fast retrieve action also make it an excellent choice for other pelagic predators that respond well to fast casting animations.
