With the original 110mm on the market, which was easily controlled to dog-walk by any angler, we have added a model with more emphasis on the “bite”. In addition to the original characteristics of its castability, action and the sphere protruding from its face to improve the rotational performance, a smaller dog-walking action has been added to its values. It will not only be effective in searching a vast area, but will also produce you results in high pressure fields where a tighter approach is required. With the side-to-side dog-walking action inherited from the 110, the pencil 85 will produce a tighter action compared to its predecessor.
Casting performance
The design of the body form and positioning of the tail hook-eye, reduces the air resistance allowing a stable flight posture. This results in greater casting distance without being affected by wind or casting styles.

Splash & diving action
By retrieving the line slag stronger than usual when the lure reaches the highest point during the “dog-walking”, the lure splashes the water forward while diving.
Two knock rattle system
By the moving weight hitting the secured hard spherical weight in the tail section, it creates a high pitch clicking sound. This appeals to the bass in various water qualities from muddy to clear.

Two years after the launch of the company, sales revolving around products created at the hands of Mr. Masahiro Adachi, one of the most acclaimed young designers in the country, were commenced.
Now in its third decade, is widely considered one of the top brands of the industry in Japan, a country widely seen as the pinnacle of lure manufacturing.
Chief designer of DUO and current CEO, Mr. Masahiro Adachi is well-known for keeping true to the height of basic performance and also has a world reputation for producing magnificent lures in which simple beauty is combined with outstanding performance.
By the year 2016, range of products includes over 300 models and the amount of lures sold has reached over 20 million units. In addition, since 1999 the company has also been active in the field of OEM, supplying products to some of the top brands in Japan, as well as enjoying its own success.
