Floating Lure DUO Realis Crank G87 20A - 8.5 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Realis Crank G87 20A belongs to the select family of crankbaits capable of reaching great depths while maintaining a reliable and controllable swim. Developed within the Realis range, it is designed for demanding anglers who want to efficiently explore deep water layers where the largest predators often hold.

Thanks to its studied profile and optimized internal weight distribution, this hardbait for predator fishing sinks rapidly to the target swimming zone and remains stable there. Its deep lip and compact body generate a tight yet powerful action, ideal for triggering strikes from educated fish or fish positioned far from shore.

Designed by Japanese specialist Masahiro Adachi, the Realis Crank G87 20A is the result of extensive refinement of its aerodynamics, density and overall balance. The outcome is a high-performance deep crankbait that combines casting distance, diving depth and ease of retrieval.

With a line of about 12 lb, the DUO Realis Crank G87 20A is designed to reach depths close to 6.3 m, making it a particularly useful diving lure for prospecting drop-offs, holes and areas far from shore. This ability to descend so deep while remaining stable makes it a go-to tool for all deep predator fishing strategies.

Advantages and strengths

One of the main strengths of this deep crankbait lies in its efficiency at quickly reaching the fish-holding zone without requiring excessive effort from the angler. Its design reduces fatigue during long sessions, even when repeating casts and deep retrieves.

Its swimming action combines intense vibrations and directional stability, allowing it to maintain a steady trajectory while generating strong auditory and visual signals. This dual characteristic makes it an excellent choice to provoke strikes from inactive or wary fish.

The DUO Realis Crank G87 20A is also notable for its versatility in presentation: slow or fast straight retrieves, marked pauses, rhythm variations… it remains effective in many approaches, making it particularly useful to probe a deep area and adapt to fish behavior.

Finally, its meticulous design improves lure control: despite its deep-diving ability, it remains readable through the rod, enabling the angler to feel contact with the bottom, obstacles and substrate changes.

Usage tips

The Realis Crank G87 20A performs best when used to prospect deep zones: base of drop-offs, shelf edges, holes, channel banks, submerged structures… Cast beyond the target area, let the crankbait reach depth at the start of the retrieve, then maintain a steady speed.

To enhance its triggering power, do not hesitate to subtly vary the retrieve rhythm: slight speed changes, micro-pauses or brief bursts can provoke reflex strikes. Pay particular attention to the moments of contact recovery after a rhythm change, which are prime strike opportunities.

Match your rod-reel setup to deep fishing: a rod with sufficiently progressive action helps absorb the crankbait's vibrations while reducing hook losses. A medium-strength line optimizes diving depth while securing fights.

Finally, regularly check hooks and leader: deep fishing and repeated bottom contact can dull points or damage the line. Regular maintenance ensures effective hooksets and prolongs the life of your hardbait.
