DUO’s REALIS is a crankbait series designed for targeting the mid-water column under high-pressure conditions, combining a compact silhouette with a soft rolling action. The flagship model, the REALIS CRANK MID ROLLER 40F, measures 40 mm, weighs 5.3 g, and features a fixed-weight, floating configuration designed to run at depths of 1.2–1.8 m. Its compact body creates a bite-sized profile, while its erratic rolling action efficiently searches a wide area.
An internal weight structure helps achieve casting distance, and the lure is compatible with both spinning and baitcasting tackle. It is primarily designed to be steadily retrieved through the mid-water column, offering a feel similar to a shad and making it easy to maintain a consistent running depth. The diving depth and action can be adjusted through retrieve speed and line setup. When contacting the bottom, its buoyancy helps prevent it from jumping too aggressively and keeps forward movement controlled, allowing anglers to trigger reaction bites through bottom-knocking techniques. Taking advantage of the ease of use provided by its fixed-weight design and its compact body suited to modern fishing environments, it is versatile for everything from mid-water searching to targeting specific depths around cover.
