Crankbait engineering beyond barriers, beyond frontiers, beyond beliefTo set yourself apart from the herd in the crankbait market, a - company has to take serious its understanding of hydro-dynamics,
- materials and components. It must also have excellent balance,
- castability, defection, unique yet proven vibration and low line-tension
- during retrieves. In 2014, DUO exceeded these challenges and set a
- bench mark in the process with Realis Crank G87 20A, a true super crank
- and a true pinnacle of lure engineering.
G87 20A’s crank development was carefully put into motion by DUO’s - R&D team. The need for a crankbait that could truly dive beyond the
- 20-foot mark and accurately reach its target has been deeply desired by
- professional anglers. To make a lure dive deep is not a huge challenge.
- But to make a lure dive and remain balanced, travel (like an arrow)
- through the air minimally influenced by cross winds and stay within
- strike zone longer with minimal reeling tension requires precise
- engineering. DUO’s chief designer, Mr. Masahiro Adachi has exceeded
- expectations.
“During the two year project, our R&D results set the bar for - floating deep diving cranks. While most anglers are happy if their deep
- crank can make a 130 feet cast and blown away when they reach 150 feet,
- G87 20A consistently hit 200 plus feet with 12 pound test. Testing
- against some of the top deep cranks presently used by touring pros, we
- outdistanced some of them as much as 80-feet. Although our lure is
- advertised at 20 feet, Mr. Adachi’s efforts pushed our lure to surpass
- 27-feet deep in a single cast and retrieve on 12-pound test”, says
- Swendseid.
This superior diving ability can be attributed to the most advanced - weight transfer system in deep diving cranking soon to be used on the
- professional bass circuits. G87’s enlarged magnetic ballast carriage
- hides the casting bearing outside the body cavity, where it`s held by a
- magnet made of Neodymium, a material considerably stronger than the
- usual magnesium, necessary due to the size of the bearing.
The 20A’s body is approximately 3 inches in length and weighs at 35 - grams (1-1/5 oz), with a heavy weight appearance you would think heavy
- resistance and heavy line tension (during the retrieve) would be
- apparent traits but it’s the opposite. Mr. Adachi was able to reduce
- hydrodynamic drag from the bait. Mr. Adachi was seeking to create a
- vehicle that could be pushed distance and driven deep into the darkest
- abyss without a hint of labor.
The G87 was created for B.A.S.S. Elite, FLW and JB Tour anglers - seeking the most efficient deep cranking tool invented. When the
- professional angler actually fishes the G87 it will nothing like they
- ever experienced.
The G87, has walked right through what most have called the final - barrier in crankbaiting and pioneered a new one. Not only is it the
- first of its kind in the world -the G87 created a new pinnacle, a new
- frontier in crankbait engineering.
