Overview
A new and larger addition to the Shad family, the Duel Hardcore Shad 75mm is a bite-sized suspending bait capable of eliciting big strikes. An ideal choice for early and late season fishing when water temps are cooler, it delivers ultra-long casts, a tight wobbling action, and killer deflections thanks in a large part to its advanced magnetic weight transfer system. It’s precisely shaped bill also allows it to dive quickly to the desired depth so you can reach the strike zone faster and stay in it longer.
The Hardcore Shad’s impressive performance features are complemented by Duel Hardcore’s extreme attention to detail in the aesthetic features of this bait. A durable transparent bill is poised at the front of crankbait, while the body boasts an anatomically correct baitfish profile enveloped in a radiant paint scheme that can stand up to serious abuse. To help you make the most of every fishing adventure, the Duel Hardcore Shad Crankbaits are made with the finest internal and external components available to more efficiently wrestle your lake’s monsters into your livewell.

Comments: Great bait. The Duel Hardcore 75mm can be speed reeled or slow cranked and tracks true. This crankbait is a must have lure for a Herring lake Like Lake Murray and Lake Hartwell.

Comments: These replace the previous shad 75 sp suspending model of the now past. This sf slow floating model has less of a rattle than the sp. I swaped out hooks so it barely floats/suspends. Nice shad bait.

Comments: Good lure, caught smallmouth, large and spots. Works very well on rock points. Would recommend re-tying after a few catches, I learned the hard way.

Comments: I'm really liking these baits. I begrudgingly tried this Duel series because I got so tired of the very effective Lucky Craft 78XD's losing their paint far too quickly for a $16 lure. This $10 lure casts, works, and catches fish very well. Unlike that other option, these don't spew-off their paint like a silver Chevy truck from the 1980's. The fact that they are actually stocked, instead of being on back order for months (err, years), is also a big advantage.

Comments: I really like this bait it has nice action and with a small suspend strip it suspends well. It's a great cold water jerk bait.
