The ultimate “down-cross” minnow
The later attached lip and ‘suspended’ (neutral buoyancy) weighting have allowed the Terrif DC12 to trace just below the water’s surface at various retrieval speeds. In addition, the lure tends to rise closer to the surface after turning, which is often where fish bite the most. One can also perform a side-to-side sliding action with some technical rod work. This replicates bait-fish on the run and can produce many bites for anglers.
Down Cross Performance
Ordinary minnows and lipless minnows tend to dive too deep and jump out of the surface, respectively, when there is a strong current against the lure. The angler will quickly appreciate this lure’s potential in the strong currents and during fast retrieval. The DC12 is a lure that can trace at a specific depth without regard to retrieval speed or current strength.
Conquering the Shallows
The DC12 was designed with the “down cross” performance in mind, so it is able to handle somewhat rough waters without jumping out, and precisely trace at a shallow range. It is not only great over shoaling beaches, but also in shallow boulder areas.
Japan brand
DUO was established as a fishing tackle distributor in the year 1995 when president Hisahiro Matsushita went independent and started his own company. The lure business of the 90''''s was severely influenced by the Japanese recession. However, never compromised its principles and did not give up on the initial concept of making products of the highest quality. -Adhering to this principle, even at a time when the majority of companies switched to foreign factories for cheaper labor cost, did not abandon the production in Japan for the inferior production in the overseas market.
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.
