What is it?
Duel Hardcore Shad
What does it do?
It’s an innovative, shad-shaped crankbait.
What sets it apart?
The new Magnetic Weight Transfer System really sets this lure apart. Typically, the shad profile is pretty small and can be hard to cast, especially accurately. The patented system allows for extended distance and pinpointed accuracy. During the cast, the BB-like balls move to the rear of the bait, and they lock into place towards the front of the lure during the retrieve.
How do I use it?
It’s a simple crankbait, but by using a lure like this, the angler can build confidence that the bait is hitting the right water and the targeted depths. By matching the hatch, as they say, the improved action the Hardcore Shad produces will dupe bass into battle.

Editor insight:
One can often be skeptical about lure innovations, but this one is impressive. The lure can be tossed a long ways, and accurately. And, the action is as advertised. This is a cool idea in a crankbait that has been traditionally difficult to throw on standard baitcasting equipment.
