Suspending Lure DUO Spearhead Ryuki 80 SP - 8 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Spearhead Ryuki is a minnow hardbait for trout and predators developed to entice the wariest fish. Its refined design gives it a tight, highly responsive action that remains stable both in strong currents and in calmer areas.

Thanks to its compact profile and internal weight distribution, this minnow lure casts long and accurately, even into the wind. It lets you reach distant or hard-to-access spots where the biggest fish often hold. During pauses in the retrieve it stays in its strike zone, giving predators time to attack without suspicion.

This lure is engineered to excel both for slow fishing early in the season, when water is cold and fish are sluggish, and for fast, aggressive fishing when conditions are more favorable. It handles twitchs, jerks and firm pulls while maintaining a natural presentation.

Versatile and technical, the Spearhead Ryuki DUO suits experienced anglers as well as those looking to advance with a reliable, high-performance lure capable of tempting trout, perch, chub and other freshwater predators.

Benefits and strengths

The main advantage of the DUO Spearhead Ryuki is its ability to trigger very large fish, even in challenging conditions. Its balanced swim and holding ability keep it perfectly in predator zones while allowing precise trajectory control.

Early in the season, when you need to work each spot patiently, its ability to operate effectively at low speed makes the difference. It holds up to very slow retrieves punctuated by long pauses—particularly deadly on lethargic or educated fish.

When the water warms, the Spearhead Ryuki responds perfectly to more aggressive animations: repetitive twitches, sharp jerks, and fast retrieves interspersed with releases. These rhythm changes mimic a panicked baitfish and often provoke explosive strikes.

Another strong point is its habitat versatility. It performs well in small technical rivers as well as large rivers, canals or impoundments. Its ability to handle current makes it a valuable ally for river trout fishing, while its realistic profile also appeals to perch and other predators in stillwater.

Finally, DUO’s build quality ensures excellent durability: robust hooking points, precise finishes and repeatable swimming action from lure to lure. A major asset for anglers who rely on consistent, trustworthy references.

Usage tips

To get the most from this technical minnow, adapt the retrieve to conditions and fish activity:

• In cold water or on wary fish: favor a slow retrieve with long pauses. Let the lure stay in the same depth layer and work each promising spot (current seams, edges, structure).


• In warmer periods: use a lively retrieve alternating sharp pulls (twitches/jerks) and relaxes. Changes of rhythm trigger instinctive reactions from active trout and predators.


• In rivers: work the lure ¾ upstream or directly upstream, let it cross the current seam then animate it in return flows, covers and breaks.


• In stillwater or canals: sweep shorelines, structures, weedbeds and shaded areas, varying speed and pause frequency until you find the right tempo.

Also remember to adjust your leader diameter: a discreet fluorocarbon leader sized to the targeted fish improves the lure’s action and realism of the DUO Spearhead Ryuki.
