The Duo Realis Apex Vibe Lipless Crankbait is the thoughts and actions of the world’s most consistent professional angler, Aaron Martens, combined with the creativity and refinement of one of Japan’s highly regarded lure designers, Masahiro Adachi. The Duo Realis Apex Vibe Lipless Crankbait is engineered with an aerodynamic fore-region to provide flight stabilization and accurate trajectory, a strategically arranged keel cavity to initiate low frequency acoustics and significant water displacement, and a high quality ABS construction with diagonal framing assures rigid and durable structure. It also generates a unique pulsation and fluid swimming action that creates a more thumping vibration, rather than a traditional rapid vibration, which attracts more bites from big lure-shy bass.
Perfectly balanced as well, the Duo Realis Apex Vibe Lipless Crankbait will swim keel-first at an angle when paused and will rest in an upright position on the bottom, allowing anglers to utilize multiple retrieve styles whether it's horizontal or vertical in both shallow or deep water. Armed with two razor-sharp treble hooks and available in a range of lifelike color patterns, the Duo Realis Apex Vibe Lipless Crankbait is sure to become a permanent fixture in your lipless tackle box.
Coldwater/Deepwater recommendThis is a very narrow/thing lipless with beautiful detail. It is almost between a blade bait and a traditional lip less crank..it's definitely a lipless but it excels when yo-yoing it or doing pauses on the retrieve. This is the lipless I reach for in Coldwater after the blade bite is off, for smallmouth, in deep open water along rocky points, and it also excels burning it thru grass with the narrow profile...ripping it out of grass often elicits a strike. I do reccomend this bait and use it mostly in the 60 and 68 sizes but they all have their uses. Anything AMart endorses hasnt steered me wrong. I do fish a similar style to him though. If you fish in the Northeast or anywhere w 4 true seasons and clear water...grab these baits

Cast’s great into windAnd that’s about the only positive thing I can say about it to be honest. It just doesn’t have that it factor and I throw lipless baits all the time and no matter how I work it I just can’t get bit on it. I could catch more fish on the $3.99 Cordell Super Spot. Looks good and puts out vibrations but I’m afraid I’ve thrown this one my last time.

Gets Bit??As much as I wanted to like this bait it just doesn’t get bit for me. I’ve tried fishing it every way possible and it casts great. Good vibration but doesn’t have the it factor.

Comments: I have two of the 62 sized baits. I don't know about them...honestly. They check all the boxes...make a cool sound, flutter nicely, burn great, look good...but I just do not get bites on them in the 4-5 trips I have used them. The guy in the front of the boat smoked me last weekend on a different rattle bait...all I had with me was this bait and I could not buy a bite on it. I'll keep trying them but not happy so far.

Comments: The APEX VIBE lipless is 68 is an awesome lure, extremely tight vibration, super thin compact body, cast well especially in the wind, and the vibration is intense. You can rip and flutter this bait easily. Awesome colors.

Comments: You can cast the bait a mile with the weight transfer system.The paint and color scheme is awesome but, for a square bill it ran a little slugish for my liking.Deflection was goodbut, not great.

Comments: It's a great bait. A Mart did a great job designing this. Similar to a TN is freefall. It is extremely thin so it slips through cover well. Fish spring, summer, or fall just use the right retrieve.

Comments:I have tried the 100 size and it swims with the tail straight up and the nose straight down. It is very un natural looking. Im sure it will probably catch fish, but I sure wont catch any on it cause I'm not gonna throw it.
