Description

The Duel Hardcore Heavy Minnow (S) is a sinking, lipped minnow measuring 70mm and weighing 16g, the smallest size in the Heavy Minnow line. It runs on a #3 split ring and a #6 treble, casts to 60m, and holds a working depth of 80-200cm with a strong wobble-roll action on medium-to-fast retrieves.

Built primarily for seabass, Duel also lists it as effective on flathead and for river and stream trout fishing, and its long casting range lets it reach water that standard minnows can't cover. Twelve official colourways are stocked, from natural sardine and gizzard shad patterns to matte pink and matte red-orange finishes.

Information

The swimming action

The Hardcore Heavy Minnow (S) is a sinking, lipped minnow with a fixed-weight body built for long-distance casting, driving a strong wobble-roll action through medium to fast retrieves. The compact size keeps it easy to control on light tackle, which matters when working tight, snag-prone stream and pond water at close range.

When to throw it

Built for saltwater sessions targeting seabass, bluefish, Japanese Spanish mackerel, flounder and flathead over open ground, where the heavier body helps punch through wind and hold its action across retrieve speeds. It also suits pressured stocked water where fish have already seen the more common presentations that day.

How to work it

A medium to fast, steady retrieve gets the strongest wobble-roll; it also casts far enough to search open water quickly between structure or drop-offs. Cover water methodically, working likely holding spots such as current seams and undercut banks before moving on.

The setup it likes

Suits an 8'6"-9'6" M to MH seabass spinning rod, a 4000 reel, PE1.5-2.5 braid and a 20-30 lb fluorocarbon leader, matched to its 60 m cast rating. Choose line strength to suit the water's clarity and the average size of fish present, favouring lighter line in clear, pressured pools.
