Suspending Lure DUO Spearhead Ryuki 70 MDSP - 7 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Spearhead Ryuki 70 MDSP is a hardbait specifically developed for river trout fishing. Engineered to face powerful currents, deep pools and marked flows, it allows efficient prospecting of zones often neglected by more conventional lures. Its design makes it a go-to for anglers who want to target fish holding lower in the water column without sacrificing swimming precision or line control.

This model stands out with its MD (Mid Diver) action, enabling it to evolve at an intermediate depth ideal for targeting trout on the riverbed or along breaks, and with its SP (Suspending) behavior. During pauses in the retrieve, the lure stays at the reached depth instead of rising immediately to the surface, giving wary fish more time to inspect and trigger a strike. This feature is especially useful on educated trout or during periods of low activity.

The Spearhead Ryuki 70 MDSP maintains excellent stability even in strong currents. Its tight, vibrating action remains clean without unwanted deviation. It holds its line, tolerates occasional bottom contacts well and is designed to reduce the risk of snags on obstacles. This dependable behavior lets the angler focus on presentation and drift while enjoying high sensitivity through the rod.

Benefits and strengths

One major strength of this trout hardbait is its ability to work where the biggest fish often hide: deep pools, strong back-currents, heads and tails of marked runs. Its mid diver action enables it to belly the bottom or follow breaks while maintaining precise control of the trajectory. Anglers can insist on high-potential zones without fear of losing control over the lure.

Its suspending nature is a real technical advantage. By pausing in the heart of the current or just upstream of a prime lie, the Spearhead Ryuki 70 MDSP remains still or nearly neutral, like a suspended baitfish. This natural attitude gives following trout time to complete their attack. This behavior is particularly effective when fish are wary, follow without striking, or feed near the bottom.

The lure also performs extremely well in tough conditions: high water, fast currents, gravel or rock-strewn zones. Its design reduces drop-offs and roll-offs, allowing full exploitation of every cast. For the angler, it represents a trout hardbait that offers an excellent balance of technicality, comfort of use and effectiveness, suitable for short sessions as well as long prospecting trips on large rivers.

Usage tips

The DUO Spearhead Ryuki 70 MDSP performs best on cast-and-retrieve in medium and large trout rivers. Cast slightly upstream or across the current, let it settle, then start the retrieve. A steady retrieve punctuated with pauses and short rod twitches will take advantage of its suspending trait and provoke reflex strikes.

For controlled drift fishing, let the lure work in the main flow while following the line with the rod. A slow retrieve with slight speed variations will often trigger fish holding near the bottom. Don’t hesitate to pause briefly in front of obstacles, rock piles or deep edges: that’s often when the suspending lure makes the difference.

To limit snags, adapt your casting angle and retrieve speed according to depth and current strength. Maintain constant contact with the lure to feel its action and detect the slightest strike or behavior change. A sensitive rod and a leader suited for snag-prone environments will further optimize the performance of this trout hardbait.
