DUO Spearhead Ryuki 80S was developed for fast-flowing rivers and is used primarily as an asp lure in Lithuania and other European markets. Its 80 mm profile and 12 g weight closely match the baitfish targeted by asp, while the compact body supports long, accurate casts. It also suits salmon and, in Scandinavia, Arctic char and rainbow trout.
Key features. A flat-sided body, semi-long lip and low-centre fixed weight keep the lure stable in strong, uneven current. It starts working immediately, responds precisely to rod input and maintains its action at high retrieve speed. Its stable flight provides excellent casting distance and accuracy.
Action and application. On a steady retrieve, Ryuki 80S produces an active rolling action and distinct vibration; short twitches make it change direction sharply. The sinking body allows anglers to select the working level through countdown time, current strength, retrieve speed and rod angle. The lure remains effective against the flow, across it and on a controlled downstream retrieve.
Why choose it:
• 80 mm, 12 g sinking minnow;
• one of the most popular Ryuki sizes for asp fishing in Lithuania;
• excellent casting performance for reaching distant feeding fish;
• stable action at high speed and in powerful current;
• suitable for asp, salmon, Arctic char and rainbow trout.
Specifications. Model – Spearhead Ryuki 80S; length – 80 mm; weight – 12 g; type – minnow; buoyancy – sinking (S); weight system – fixed, low centre of gravity; hooks – two #8 trebles; approximate working range – 0.7–1.2 m; actual depth depends on countdown, current and retrieve speed; manufacturer – DUO Co., Ltd.
Retrieve options. For asp, a fast steady retrieve is often the first choice, especially through fast runs or against strong current. When casting across the flow, guide the lure through an arc while maintaining direct contact. For salmonids, use a steady retrieve with occasional short twitches and pauses. When retrieving downstream, increase reel speed so the lip continues to grip the water and the lure maintains its action.
Other Ryuki models. The core Spearhead Ryuki sinking range includes 45S, 50S, 60S, 70S, 80S, 95S and 110S. Compact 45–60 mm models are selected mainly for trout, while 70–95 mm sizes are especially popular for asp in Lithuania. The 15 g 95S presents a larger profile, and the 110S is intended for still larger prey. The 80S SW Limited retains the 80 mm and 12 g specifications but is a saltwater-oriented version with marine colours and corresponding hardware.
