Duo Realis Crank G87 20a - Green Smelt

To set yourself apart from the herd in the crankbait market, a company has to take serious its understanding of hydro-dynamics, materials and components. It must also have excellent balance, castability, defection, unique yet proven vibration and low line-tension during retrieves. In 2014, DUO exceeded these challenges and set a bench mark in the process with Realis Crank G87 20A, a true super crank and a true pinnacle of lure engineering.

G87 20A’s crank development was carefully put into motion by DUO’s R&D team. The need for a crankbait that could truly dive beyond the 20-foot mark and accurately reach its target has been deeply desired by professional anglers. To make a lure dive deep is not a huge challenge. But to make a lure dive and remain balanced, travel (like an arrow) through the air minimally influenced by cross winds and stay within strike zone longer with minimal reeling tension requires precise engineering. DUO’s chief designer, Mr. Masahiro Adachi has exceeded expectations.

“During the two year project, our R&D results set the bar for floating deep diving cranks. While most anglers are happy if their deep crank can make a 130 feet cast and blown away when they reach 150 feet, G87 20A consistently hit 200 plus feet with 12 pound test. Testing against some of the top deep cranks presently used by touring pros, we outdistanced some of them as much as 80-feet. Although our lure is advertised at 20 feet, Mr. Adachi’s efforts pushed our lure to surpass 27-feet deep in a single cast and retrieve on 12-pound test”, says Swendseid.
