DUEL - HARDCORE FINTAIL VIBE 70mm/80mm - F1020/F1021 FISHING LURES

Duel Hardcore Fintail Vibe 70mm / 80mm F1020 / F1021 Sinking Fishing Lures

The Hardcore Fintail Vibe is a sinking lipless vibration lure fitted with a soft fluttering tail, and that tail is the whole point of the design. A conventional vibe stops working the moment you stop winding; the fin tail keeps moving on the lift, the pause and the drop, so the lure stays alive through the parts of the retrieve where most bites actually happen. The vibration itself is deliberately restrained — a weaker, subtler signal aimed at fish in heavily worked water that have learned to avoid an aggressive rattle. A magnetic weight system balances the lure for straight casts and a tight, vibration-rich retrieve, while an anti-twist tail frame stops the tail spinning and prevents the rear treble tangling in it on a long cast or a fast wind. Available in 70mm 18g and 80mm 24g, both sinking.

Key Features

• UV fluttering tail — fin movement continues on pauses and lifts, and shows under UV or low light
• Magnetic stability — the weight system balances the lure for straight casts and tight vibration
• Flash-rich design — mirror finish and red-eye detailing mimic schooling prey
• Anti-twist tail frame prevents tail spin and rear-hook tangles
• Balanced sinking action for precise depth targeting in open water and vertical fishing
• Zoom casting performance — aerodynamic body for covering water quickly
• Durable Japanese components: power hooks, strong split rings and a robust body
• Two sizes: F1020 70mm 18g and F1021 80mm 24g

How To Fish It

• Lift and drop — Sink to the bottom, lift the rod to 11 o'clock, then follow the lure down on a controlled semi-slack line. The fin tail flutters the whole way down, and that is where most takes come.
• Straight retrieve — Wind at a steady medium pace so you can feel the vibration through the blank. If the vibration stops, you have picked up weed or the lure has fouled.
• Long-cast search — Fan casts from a breakwater or bank, counting the sink down, until you find the depth band holding fish.
• Vertical jigging — From a boat or over a hole, drop straight down and work short 30cm lifts on the spot. The tail keeps moving even when the lure is barely travelling.

Target Species By Region

• Southeast Asia — Barramundi (siakap), queenfish, trevally and mangrove jack around river mouths and breakwaters; toman (giant snakehead) and sebarau in deeper reservoir water.
• North America — Largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, striped bass and white bass on lift-and-drop, plus winter and hard-water vertical fishing.
• Japan & East Asia — Seabass (suzuki) shore casting, flathead (kochi) and hirame from sand beaches, and light shore jigging for small trevally and mackerel.
• Australia, Middle East & Europe — Australian salmon, tailor and mulloway; pike, perch and zander in European lakes and canals; queenfish and small trevally in the Gulf.
