Description

The Duel Hardcore R7 70F is the smallest model in Duel's Hardcore R-series of slim, roll-action floating minnows. At 70mm and 4.5g it uses Duel's New Magnet Weight Shift System (international patent) to fling itself well beyond its size for a bait this compact, and it swims at a shallow 10–50cm running depth.

Its understated roll action and slender profile are designed to draw strikes from wary, pressured fish that shy away from stronger-moving lures, making it a genuine seabass option as well as an effective pick for black bream (chinu). Offered here in eight official Duel colourways.

Information

The swimming action

The Hardcore R7 is a slim, roll-action floating minnow from Duel's Hardcore R series, using Duel's New Magnet Weight Shift System for stable casting distance. Its slender silhouette produces a natural rolling action, understated rather than aggressive, designed to draw strikes without spooking wary or heavily-pressured fish.

When to throw it

Suited to shallow ground, harbours and rivers where fish have seen plenty of lures and shy away from stronger-moving baits, working the 10-50 cm depth range as a natural-searching pilot lure. It also suits low-light periods around dawn and dusk, when fish move shallower and closer to structure to feed.

How to work it

A steady retrieve at any speed from slow to fast keeps the roll going without spooking fish; use it to search new water before switching to a more aggressive lure if a natural presentation isn't drawing bites. Change the retrieve speed through the cast to find what triggers fish on the day, since preference can shift between sessions.

The setup it likes

Suits an 8'6"-9'6" M seabass spinning rod, a 3000-4000 reel, PE1-1.5 braid and a 16-20 lb fluorocarbon leader, matched to its 30 m cast rating. Back the drag off slightly for close-range work around structure, and check the leader knot regularly given the abrasive ground this style of fishing covers.
