Suspending Lure DUO Realis Jerkbait 160 SP - 16 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Realis Jerkbait 160SP is a large jerkbait plug for predators designed to entice the wariest fish. Its bulky body displaces a large amount of water, making it noticeable from a distance even when visibility is low or fish are sluggish. This strong presence in the water column makes it an ideal target for predators seeking a substantial meal.

Designed for dynamic animations, this hard predator lure excels during steady retrieves interspersed with pauses and sharp jerks. On rod strikes, its internal rattles hit the body walls, producing a pronounced sound that triggers reflex strikes. This combination of vibration, noise and water displacement makes it a formidable ally when fish respond to aggressive signals.

Equipped with three robust treble hooks, the Realis Jerkbait 160SP provides an excellent hookup rate. The three points of contact secure hookups even when predators attack the lure from the edge of their mouth or from the side. It perfectly meets the expectations of anglers seeking a reliable, high-performance jerkbait for many freshwater venues.

Benefits and strengths

The main strength of this jerkbait for large predators is its ability to select big fish. Its imposing size mimics a substantial prey item, prompting predators to move and strike. In heavily fished areas or places where fish have seen many small lures, this larger format often triggers dominant fish on the spot.

Its internal rattle system is another advantage. By striking the body walls during jerks, these rattles emit a characteristic sound that attracts predators and provokes strikes even when they are not actively feeding. This audible component combined with significant water displacement makes it a very effective prospecting lure for covering large areas and quickly locating active fish.

The armament of three sturdy treble hooks delivers excellent hookup and retention during the fight. This setup reduces drop-offs, especially on short or lateral strikes. Additionally, the option to easily remove the center treble to comply with local regulations keeps the lure versatile and lawful without compromising its overall effectiveness.

Finally, the Realis Jerkbait 160SP’s strong stability during animations enhances the quality of its swim. Whether you use a slow retrieve with pauses or sharp jerks to make it deflect and flash, this jerkbait minnow remains controllable and enjoyable to fish with, making it a serious choice for a tackle box dedicated to large predators.

Usage tips

To get the most out of this hard predator lure, favor a steady retrieve interrupted by variable pauses. Stops allow predators to focus on the lure and often trigger strikes when you resume reeling. Vary the pause length depending on fish activity: the warier the fish, the longer you can hold the lure motionless.

Jerkbait animation is central to the effectiveness of the DUO Realis Jerkbait 160SP. Give clear rod snaps to provoke abrupt reactions in the water column and cause the internal rattles to strike the body. This animation is particularly productive when fish are holding on structure or drop-offs and need strong signals to be enticed.

Also adapt your leader and rod-reel setup to the power of this large jerkbait. A rod with good power reserve and a responsive tip will facilitate sharp animations and keep the lure under control. Finally, check local regulations on your fishing area: if the number of hooks is limited, removing the center treble will keep you compliant while preserving a highly attractive lure.
