New Duel HARDCORE® Series – Mid Diver for Rock Fishing

As I have already introduced one of New Duel HARDCORE® Series lure, Shallow Runner here before.

And now another new coming lure from Duel – HARDCORE® Mid Diver, floating and rip-less minnow but dives more in between 40cm – 80cm depth, covering just under Shallow Runner range.

Magnet Tungsten Balls makes Big Cast Distance

This HARDCORE® Mid Diver has, as  well as Shallow Runner, new Magnet Tungsten Ball system is installed.

This is the weight shift system by tungsten balls contained in the body – when casting the ball moves to the back to make longer distance.

And when retrieving, head-down position will roll the ball down to middle part and the magnet sticks those 2 balls to make the best weight balance to swim.

This magnet gained 20% of strength so it won’t get loose easily.

Strong Wobbling action with Small Rolling

At the movie below, you can see at whole reeling speed it has strong wobbling action, flipping tails side by side.

It still rolls therefore new Holograph flashing acts well but when reeling faster, wobbling gets bigger so it will appeal really well even in the bubbles.

* Please turn on auto translate function as video is all in Japanese.

It can swim well to under your feet

This is also designed swimming very well until it comes just under your feet by rip-like plastic head, that catches water very well to keep the lure depth with action stream, even from higher place.

That is thought especially for rock fishing areas.

Therefore you can even have chance to get bites until just a moment when you really pull it up from the water.
