DUO Realis Jerkbait 160S SW – sinking jerkbait minnow 160 mm 35 g

DUO Realis Jerkbait 160S SW is the largest sinking model in the Realis Jerkbait SW Limited family, designed to imitate substantial forage and target big predators. Its large 160 mm flat-sided body creates a bold profile, intense flashing and strong water disturbance. Although developed primarily for saltwater fishing, its size, weight and robust construction also make it an excellent choice for trophy pike.
Key features. The moving-weight system shifts mass toward the tail during the cast, allowing the 35 g lure to fly far and remain stable in windy conditions. On the retrieve, the weights return to the working position for balanced action. The broad flat-sided body and precisely tuned lip generate sharp side-to-side darts, high-pitch rolling and strong flashing. Despite its 160 mm profile, the lure responds to surprisingly light rod input.
Pike twitching. This model performs best with twitching: one or two short, distinct rod snaps make it dart widely from side to side, followed by a pause that lets the sinking lure drop and remain in the strike zone. Active twitching usually works the upper 1.5 m, while slower twitching, longer pauses and a controlled sink allow the lure to reach 3 m or deeper. Use faster combinations for active pike, or slower retrieves and isolated twitches for passive fish. The large profile helps select bigger predators, while robust size #3 trebles provide confidence when fighting trophy pike.
Why choose it:
• 160 mm, 35 g sinking minnow for trophy pike and large predators;
• sharp side-to-side darting and intense flashing when twitched;
• moving-weight system provides long and stable casting;
• large body displaces substantial water and stands out at distance;
• robust size #3 trebles suit demanding fights with big fish.

160S SW or 160SP? Realis Jerkbait 160S SW is a 35 g sinking model, offering better depth control, a lower presentation and stable use in wind.
