From Duel, one of the famous Japanese lure make, has big name HARDCORE ® Series for game fishing, and they have unique characters.
Now new Duel HARDCORE ® series are out in this 2019 – one of them is Shallow Runner here, for shallow area / just under the surface, rip-less minnow lure is out now.
Magnet Tungsten Balls makes Big Cast Distance
The biggest feature of this Shallow Runner is this – Magnet Tungsten Balls gives lures maximum cast distance with balanced swim styles.
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.
Mixture of Wobbling and Rolling Action
When you see the lure action it is kind of mixture of wobbling and rolling. Especially, it’s more wobbling when reeling faster, and more to roll when slower.
And twitching and jerking, that also has interesting uneven action that may attract fish to bite your lures. Could be very fun to use!

New Holograph Flashes More than Ever
Personally this flashing is one of the most important factor for lures to attract fish… of course you may already know it.
And this new Duel HARDCORE ® Shallow Runner has new type of holograph body that flashes better than old types. Official site also says the paint is tougher, and body is stronger than old ones, sounds really good.
