Floating Lure DUO Realis Jerkbait 100 DR - 10 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Realis Jerkbait 100 DR is a longbill minnow hard bait specifically developed to reach deeper zones quickly while maintaining a highly attractive action. Its design makes it a formidable tool for targeting predators when they hold just below the surface or become wary of lures that are too noisy or too exposed.

• Deep jerkbait capable of reaching approximately 3 m depth.


• Longbill minnow profile with an extended bill for fast, controlled diving.


• Realistic action engineered to trigger strikes in heavily fished areas.


• Effective at all retrieval speeds, from steady retrieves to sharp jerks.


• Designed for predator fishing in freshwater and varied conditions.

This hard jerkbait stands out for its ability to remain attractive even when fish have been subjected to heavy fishing pressure. Where crankbaits are overused and stop provoking strikes, the Realis Jerkbait 100 DR offers a different, subtler action ideal for decisive wary fish.

Technical characteristics

The DUO Realis Jerkbait 100 DR belongs to the family of deep jerkbaits, featuring a long bill that allows it to quickly reach its working depth. It was designed to offer simple handling, including for anglers new to this type of lure, while remaining technical enough to satisfy specialists.

• Type: jerkbait hard bait of the longbill minnow type.


• Working depth: up to approximately 3 m, depending on line diameter and retrieval speed.


• Action designed to remain stable on steady retrieves as well as during twitching animations.


• Designed for use with spinning or baitcasting gear matched to hard lures.


• Suitable for prospecting mid and deep zones (breaks, bank bases, drop-offs, submerged structures).

Thanks to its specific bill, this deep predator jerkbait reaches its working depth quickly, allowing efficient coverage of large water areas. Its balanced action reduces hookouts and optimizes hooking chances, even on powerful strikes typical of jerkbait fishing.

Advantages and key strengths

The DUO Realis Jerkbait 100 DR is designed to offer maximum versatility and performance at the water’s edge. It adapts quickly to changes in fish mood and to different structure configurations.

Usage tips

To get the most from the Realis Jerkbait 100 DR, adapt your animation to fish activity and current conditions. The major strength of this deep jerkbait is its ability to stay effective regardless of the imposed rhythm.

• For prospecting: use a steady linear retrieve to sweep large areas quickly.


• On wary fish: alternate sharp jerks, pauses and slow retrieves.


• In deep zones: let the lure reach its running depth then maintain a steady pace.


• Adjust your line diameter to optimize depth reached and freedom of action.


• Vary cadence and intensity frequently to find the pattern of the day.

This longbill minnow jerkbait fits perfectly into a methodical prospecting approach: start with mid layers, then focus on depth breaks, steep edges and submerged structures where predators ambush.
