Duo Soft Lure Realis Flinder Shad 3 inch F020

3 inch

The Realis Flinder Shad 3 inch is a paddle-tail soft baitfish profile.

The soft body is the main advantage here: it gives a more natural tail beat and softer mouth-feel than a hardbait, which matters when fish are following bait but not committing to loud plugs.

Rig it on the right jig head or bladed setup for the depth and current.

A steady retrieve keeps the tail working naturally, while small lifts, pauses, and drops make it look like a baitfish losing balance.

The slower you fish it, the more important rig balance becomes — too much weight can kill the natural swim.

It is strongest around sand flats, drains, reef edges, harbour walls, current seams, and bait schools.

It is not as durable as a hard lure and can get damaged by toothy fish, but the trade-off is a more believable baitfish action.

TARGET SPECIES: bass, sea bass, flathead, snapper, trevally, queenfish, and other baitfish-eating predators.
