Product highlights
The
DUO Realis Spinbait Heartbee 75S G-Fix is a
sinking propeller spinbait designed to entice the most cautious predators. Its distinctive feature is a concave throat under the body that channels water toward the ventral propeller. This unique design generates a subtle
metallic sound accompanied by discreet turbulence, ideal for triggering aggression from educated fish or during periods of low activity.
Thanks to a carefully worked mass distribution, density is concentrated toward the upper part of the bait. This internal balance ensures
exemplary stability on slow retrieves as well as on faster pulls. The Realis Spinbait Heartbee therefore maintains a natural, controlled action even in moderate currents, making it an excellent choice for methodically fishing a fish-holding area.
At the tail, the hook is fitted with a teaser that further increases visual attraction and provides a clear focal point. During pauses, this teaser continues to quiver in the current, allowing predators to
precisely target their strikes, even when the lure is stationary or only lightly animated.
Technical characteristics
Designed for technical fishing and meticulous prospecting, the
Realis Spinbait Heartbee 75S G-Fix brings together several elements that make it a versatile freshwater tool:
- Hard sinking lure with ventral propeller, suited to subtle and discreet approaches.
- Concave throat directing water to the propeller to generate sound and turbulence.
- Density concentrated toward the upper body to optimize balance and stability.
- Rear hook equipped with a teaser to enhance attraction.
- Effective action on slow retrieves, linear retrieves or with short twitches.
- Designed for freshwater predators (perch, zander, largemouth bass, pike in suitable conditions).
- Usable for both spinning and light casting, depending on the angler's setup.
All these features make this model a
versatile lure for fishing calm waters as well as rivers with moderate current, adapting to many technical fishing situations.
Advantages and strengths
The main advantage of the
Realis Spinbait Heartbee is its ability to trigger bites in difficult conditions. Where louder lures fail, its
subtle metallic sound and fine vibrations provide a different, more natural signal that reassures wary fish while arousing their curiosity.
Its stability on slow retrieves is a real asset for long-range prospecting or for focusing on a specific zone. The lure keeps its axis and action, which reduces lost hooks and improves success rate on timid bites.
The rear hook with teaser is another strong point: it improves lure visibility, creates a wounded-prey effect and encourages predators to aim for the rear where the hooks are located. This helps
increase hook-up quality and reduce missed strikes.
Finally, DUO’s careful design and high-quality finish guarantee a
durable lure, resistant to many intensive fishing sessions.
Usage advice
The
DUO Realis Spinbait Heartbee 75S G-Fix performs best with relatively slow animations. A steady retrieve punctuated with short pauses makes the most of the ventral propeller and tail teaser. Let the lure sink to the desired depth, then retrieve it steadily — a simple and very effective method.
For educated fish or during high fishing pressure, it is recommended to practice
finesse fishing: minimalist animations, extended pauses and slight speed variations. This presentation exploits the discretion of the metallic sound and micro-vibrations to persuade the pickiest fish.
In deeper zones or on breaks, alternate linear retrieves with small rod twitches to provoke direction changes and sudden accelerations. This technique is particularly effective for triggering reflex strikes from fish holding near the bottom.
Pair this lure with a light-to-medium rod with a sensitive action and a relatively fine line to maintain good control of the action and feel the slightest bite.
Testimonials
“Since I started using the Realis Spinbait Heartbee, I manage to get bites from fish I never caught with my classic lures. Its subtle action and ventral propeller really make the difference on heavily fished waters.” “Perfect for slow fishing along margins and holding areas, it allowed me to pull out nice perch and wary zander on difficult days.”FAQ
Question 1: Is this lure suitable for slow fishing in cold water?
Answer: Yes, its stability on slow retrieves and discreet metallic sound make it an excellent choice for technical fishing in cold water when predators are less active.
Question 2: Can it be used in rivers with current?
Answer: It can certainly be used in rivers, provided retrieval speed is adapted and current strength is taken into account to maintain a controlled action.
