DUO Realis Pencil 85 Topwater Walking Bait

The DUO Realis Pencil 85 is a downsized topwater pencil bait developed for anglers who need accurate casting and controlled surface action around compact strike zones.

Its 85mm profile retains the fundamental performance of the larger Realis Pencil models while producing a tighter, finer-pitch dog-walking action. This allows the lure to remain around isolated cover longer instead of moving quickly away from the target.

Tight Dog-Walking Action

The rounded body geometry and balanced internal structure help the Realis Pencil 85 turn consistently from side to side with repeated rod twitches.

Compared with a wider-gliding walking bait, its reduced movement distance makes it especially useful around dock posts, vegetation pockets, laydowns and other confined areas where accurate lure placement matters. DUO specifically designed the 85 size for tighter pinpoint approaches in pressured ponds and reservoirs.

Stable Casting Performance

The aerodynamic body and moving-weight system help the lure maintain a stable flight posture during casting.

DUO also positions the rear hook eye toward the underside of the tail, helping reduce instability caused by wind or variations in casting technique. The result is dependable distance and accuracy from a compact topwater bait.

Splashing and Diving Action

In addition to a standard walking retrieve, the Realis Pencil 85 can produce a brief splashing dive.

As the lure reaches the top of its walking motion, a stronger rod input with controlled slack causes the body to push water forward and dip beneath the surface. This creates a sudden change in movement that can trigger fish following behind the lure.

Two-Knock Rattle System

The lure uses a two-knock rattle system in which a moving hard weight contacts a fixed rear weight.

This produces a sharp clicking sound intended to attract bass from a greater distance. The acoustic signal gives the lure additional presence in both stained and clear water.
