Why We Imported This

The DUEL Hardcore series has earned a strong reputation among Japanese anglers for outstanding casting performance and lifelike swimming action. The internal weight transfer system gives this lure a casting advantage over conventional fixed-weight designs, making it particularly effective for shore-based fishing where distance matters.

Models like the Lipless Minnow 120F remain difficult to source locally in Australia. We imported this one because it performs — and the transparent sardine finish is one of the most effective clear-water colourways in the Hardcore range.
