Description

The Duel Hardcore R9 90F is the standard-size model in Duel's Hardcore R-series of slim, roll-action floating minnows. At 90mm and 6g it uses Duel's New Magnet Weight Shift System (international patent) for stable casting up to 35m, and it swims at a 10–60cm running depth suited to harbours and rivers alike.

Its slim body handles every retrieve speed from slow to fast without spooking wary fish, making it equally effective as a natural-searching pilot lure for seabass and black bream (chinu) across a wide range of ground. Offered here in ten official Duel colourways.

Information

The swimming action

The Hardcore R9 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 10-60 cm depth range as a natural-searching pilot lure. Overcast conditions and a bit of surface chop generally improve results, since the lure is less likely to spook fish holding shallow.

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. Small pauses worked into the retrieve often convert a following fish that has not yet fully committed to the strike.

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 35 m cast rating. Adjust rod power and leader strength up for structure-heavy marks where a hooked fish needs to be turned quickly, or down for open, snag-free water.
