Koduck Lure

This is a lure that swings its butt and creates actions that draw fish. The recommended actions for the Koduck lure are "slow retrieve" and "stop & go". The Koduck lure will perform a butt swinging wobbling action even on a slow retrieve. It will start diving on a steady retrieve. It will float to the surface during a pause. These are very attractive actions to attract fish!

DUO lures are all high quality that are designed and produced in Japan. Professional artisans create DUO lures with passion.

※There is a risk of damaging the top lure due to an impact with hard objects. Please be careful when casting.
※The paint on the beak may peel off due to impacts.
