DUEL - HARDCORE LG SHAD 50mm 4.5g F1204 SINKING FISHING LURES

Duel Hardcore LG Shad 50mm 4.5g F1204 Sinking Fishing Lures

The Duel Hardcore LG Shad is a compact sinking shad crankbait for light game fishing where casting distance matters more than lure size. At 50mm and 4.5g it matches juvenile baitfish, while Duel's New Magnetic Transfer weight system lets it be thrown to a stated maximum of 30m on light tackle — a real advantage from a bank or breakwater. The lip holds a running depth of 150 to 200cm even when retrieved from an elevated position, which is exactly where most jetty anglers stand.

Model & Size: F1204 / 50mm - 4.5g. Type: Sinking. Colours: HBPC, HGR, HPI.

How To Fish It

• Straight retrieve — Wind at a steady medium pace to hold the lure in its 150–200cm band. Keep the rod tip low from a high platform.
• Countdown — Let it sink for a set count, adding a second each cast until you find the fish.
• Stop and go — Wind three or four turns, then pause and let the lure drop. The falling profile draws strikes from followers that will not commit.
• Long-range search — Fan casts across open water from a jetty or breakwater to cover ground quickly.
