DUO Backdoor Project Pokémon Fishing Pikachu

The Iconic Pokémon Pikachu as a Lure

The DUO Backdoor Project Pokémon Fishing Pikachu is a strictly limited hard lure with serious collector appeal and genuine fish-catching ability. Pikachu is the face of the entire Pokémon franchise, and that popularity carries straight onto the water. It makes every sense to pick up 2 - one for the display cabinet and one to actually fish with. On the predator fishing front, it targets virtually all surface-feeding predators, with a particular appeal to largemouth bass, perch, and pike. At 10.6 cm and 22 g, the proportions are spot on for both consistent action and larger fish.

An Easy-to-Work Jitter Bait with a Curved Lip

The DUO Backdoor Project Pokémon Fishing Pikachu is a topwater lure of the jitter bait type, defined by its characteristic curved lip. That lip drives a side-to-side wobbling action across the surface - all you need to do is wind it in slowly and the lip handles everything else, keeping the lure running perfectly on every retrieve. That makes it a great choice even if you're newer to surface fishing, as the action requires no input beyond a steady retrieve. The lure also features a metal tail in the shape of Pikachu's lightning bolt, connected to the main body via eyelets. This adds an extra layer of movement and makes the lure even more enticing. Two treble hooks on the body and one on the tail deliver an excellent hook-up rate. It is worth noting that the rear treble can occasionally catch the line - if that becomes a nuisance, it can be removed without any issue. DUO's expertise shows throughout: they have managed to preserve the look of the Pokémon faithfully while building a highly effective lure. The result is a Pikachu complete with its iconic lightning bolt tail - a collector's piece and a serious fishing tool in one.
