Introduction: Our next entry to the L.O.U.S. (lures of unusual size) series of crankbait reviews is a product from upstart Duo Realis. This company is as aggressive and cutting edge as they come where baits are concerned and their L.O.U.S. deep diving bait entry is no exception. Here now is our look at the G87 20A deep diving crank from Duo Realis.
Ive used this on a crank rod rated to 3/4 oz and while the rod obviously could barely handle the weight, the resistance from the bait really wasnt overpowering even when it reached 18 fow.
I agree and will second this product as a worthy addition. Good bait for the money and would make an excellent teaser for those looking to move up the weight spectrum. I figure depth for my setups to be about 17ft or so, which is fair enough, but one thing I will point out is I've had a couple 'what the' moments where I've lost the lure to being wedged when I was unable to back it out. Only thing I can figure is the angled lip. My conclusion is formed via comparative perspective in knowing a typical wedge scenario and how it feels to work free. Only sometimes I can't. That said, it's a fine product with pluses far outweighing this one negative. Good stuff.
