The DUO Realis Pencil 100 is a 100mm, 16.5g floating topwater pencil built to cover water fast and pull fish up from a distance. Its wide, rhythmic walk-the-dog action mimics a wounded baitfish struggling on the surface exactly the trigger that makes bass commit. A magnetic weight-transfer system loads the cast for long, accurate throws, and premium sharp hooks hold through explosive blow-ups.

Best For

• Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and schoolie stripers
• Aggressive topwater predators in open water, around docks, and over shallow flats
• Morning and evening low-light surface feeding windows

Best Fishing Techniques

• Walk-the-dog rhythmic rod-tip twitches with slack line for a wide side-to-side glide
• Pause-and-twitch let it sit after a walk sequence to trigger hesitant fish
• Long-distance casting magnetic weight transfer maximizes range on open flats and points

Best Conditions

• Calm to light-chop surface conditions
• Shallow to mid-depth flats, points, and open bays
• Early morning, late evening, and overcast low-light periods

Why This Lure Is Different

• Magnetic weight-transfer system for longer, more accurate casts than fixed-weight pencils
• Wider walk-the-dog glide path compared to slimmer pencil profiles
• JDM-grade finish and hook quality from DUO’s Japanese manufacturing

Pro Tips

• Use 2030 lb braid with a short fluorocarbon leader for maximum casting distance and sensitivity. Add 5-6 feet of mono for weary fish.
• Slow your cadence in cold water longer pauses between twitches trigger lethargic fish. Sometimes we just let it sit for minutes.
• Match color to baitfish: Chrome Tiger and Prism Shad in clear water; Ghost Minnow and Neo Pearl in stained or low-light conditions

Common Mistakes

• Setting the hook too early on a blow-up wait until you feel the weight of the fish
• Using too heavy a leader, which kills the lure’s action
