DUO Realis Spin 38 11G SW – long-casting saltwater tail spinner 38 mm 11 g

DUO Realis Spin 38 11G SW is a Japanese-made sinking tail spinner. Although the SW designation identifies a saltwater version, the lure is equally useful in European freshwater. Its compact 38 mm profile resembles a small baitfish, while the dense 11 g body provides long, accurate casts from shore and reaches the required depth quickly when fishing from a boat.
Key features. A classically shaped metal blade mounted at the tail rotates smoothly during the retrieve, producing flash and vibration that predators detect through their lateral line. At the same time, the compact body displays a subtle side-to-side roll, creating a lively yet controlled presentation. Balanced drag keeps the lure easy to feel and helps maintain a linear swimming path.
Action and application. Realis Spin 38 11G SW can be retrieved steadily at slow, medium or faster speeds, counted down to a selected layer, or worked with lifts and pauses in a jigging-style presentation. Its sinking body can search different depths, with a stated working range of approximately 1.0–2.5 m, and it may be allowed to sink deeper when required. Two treble hooks improve the conversion of short, cautious strikes, making the lure especially useful in cold-water conditions.
Why choose it:
• compact 38 mm body and 11 g weight provide excellent casting distance;
• rotating tail blade creates flash and fish-attracting vibration;
• sinking design allows systematic coverage of different water layers;
• works with steady retrieves and jigging-style lifts and pauses;
• SW version suits saltwater and is effective for perch, asp and pike in freshwater.

The 38 mm / 11 g version is a versatile choice when a compact profile, good casting distance and control through approximately 1.0–2.5 m are required. The lighter 5–7 g models suit shallower water and lighter tackle, while the 14 g version is preferred for even longer casts and a faster sink.
