Duel, the overseas parent company of Yo-Zuri, has been the go-to name for Japanese anglers for over 50-years. Duel’s top-rated and technologically advanced hard baits are making their way back the US market with renowned acceptance. Constructed from exceptional components and crafted with an outstanding attention-to-detail, Duel is committed to providing anglers with the most effective and life-like lures possible.

The Hardcore series from Duel is a high end series of freshwater baits designed for the serious angler. Exceptional color patterns, finishes, feature rich details and the Internationally Patented Magnetic Weight Transfer System create a series of baits unmatched by any in the market place today!!!

The Magnetic Weight Transfer System feature improves casting distance and accuracy by placing the weight of the lure in the tail for long, accurate casts. Upon retrieval, the weights shift to the center of the lure, providing a well-balanced swimming action. Combine this incredible performance feature with the unique variety of holographic, natural and hi-vis colors and you have the most versatile series of freshwater lures ever created.

The Hardcore series includes a bait to cover every section of the water column and handle an array of challenging conditions. From Surface Cranks and Wake Baits to Lipless, Deep Cranks and Jerkbaits, these lures attract and trigger bites by even the most wary of gamefish.  The initial introduction of Duel hardcore Baits will focus on Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Pike and Musky.

The Hardcore Series will be avaialble in all North American markets in January of 2016.
