DUO Realis Crank M65 11A

Crankbait Quality and Durability Built to Last

The DUO Realis Crank M65 11A is the deeper-running, 65 mm medium diving crankbait from the M-Line Series, developed through a collaboration between DUO and Hajime Murata, one of Japan's most renowned anglers. Five years of development went into creating a crankbait with a genuinely distinct character - specific properties that deliver outstanding performance on the water. Top-tier build quality meets exceptional durability: the internal design uses a beam-and-chamber construction with multiple internal chambers for high structural integrity, and the paint finish is built to withstand attack after attack without deteriorating. Because this is a crankbait designed to target larger predators, it comes fitted with especially strong treble hooks in size #4 - one size up from standard - to keep largemouth bass, zander, perch and pike firmly pinned.

Exceptional Running Stability

The DUO Realis Crank M65 11A is exceptionally well balanced. A fixed weight delivers a High Responsive Cranking Action and, combined with the aerodynamic body shape, produces excellent casting performance - ideal for covering large areas of water and presenting the lure to wary fish at distance. The weight is positioned at the lowest point of the belly to achieve the lowest possible centre of gravity, resulting in extraordinarily stable tracking. When the lure deflects off cover or other obstacles, it immediately returns to its balanced position and resumes its action without hesitation.

Attractive Action and a Distinctive Sound

After the cast, the DUO Realis Crank M65 11A dives rapidly and reaches its running depth of 2.5 to 3.5 metres quickly. At that depth it produces an outstanding action with tight vibrations and high water displacement. Despite this, the retrieve resistance remains deliberately low, keeping it comfortable to wind back at both slow and fast speeds. Alongside the appealing action, the lure produces a unique sound: rather than conventional rattles or beads, special brass plates are mounted vertically inside a sound chamber in the forward section of the body. A large steel ball also sits within the chamber, striking the walls to generate a distinctive, dull, metallic sound.
