DUO
Japan brand DUO was established as a fishing tackle distributor in the year 1995 when president Hisahiro Matsushita went independent and started his own company. The lure business of the 90''''s was severely influenced by the Japanese recession. However, never compromised its principles and did not give up on the initial concept of making products of the highest quality. -Adhering to this principle, even at a time when the majority of companies switched to foreign factories for cheaper labor cost, did not abandon the production in Japan for the inferior production in the overseas market.
Two years after the launch of the company, sales revolving around products created at the hands of Mr. Masahiro Adachi, one of the most acclaimed young designers in the country, were commenced.

A multi role jerk-bait far-seeing the future of fishing
The flagship of Realis big rip baits. Being known for its versatility
to cover water quickly or to be target orientated on the go, has made
the Realis Jerkbait 120 a super tool among big bait users.
The heavy flash emitted from the 120 is significant in comparison to
other ripbaits its size. This comes from the lures extremely tall
profile and ability to rotate its body 180- degrees (belly up). This is
easily attained by imparted light rod twitches. The 120 seconds as a
rip-bait, easily "ripped" without heavy rod tension.
Another powerful attribute is its innate ability to avoid any linear or
aimless drift. Linear drifting is displayed in a jerkbait without the
ability to stop immediately thus leaving the angler less control when
working the lure near or next to specific targets. The 120SP is
different. As anglers have mentioned, "It can stopped on a dime",
flicked or twitched in a radius of inches. It's side to side "tack" or
walk is also inches apart. Realis Jerkbait 120SP is so well balanced the
lure can be burned during retrieve like a crankbait without "crumping"
(failing) during its travel.
The multiple actions and versatility are capable in the 120SP due to
high- end componentry hidden in its durable frame structure. The lip
edges on the 120SP are thin yet strongest in the industry due to three
reinforced locations.
Large tungsten ballast rides on a sophisticated track and carriage
system noted to "seat" tungsten bearings firmly even at extreme angles
ensuring the lures dominate action at anglers initial imparted action
without any danger of bearing breaking loose and killing the action.
