DUO Spearhead Ryuki 80S SW – saltwater sinking minnow for asp 80 mm 12 g

DUO Spearhead Ryuki 80S SW is first and foremost a sinking minnow offered in the saltwater-focused SW Limited range. In Lithuania, the 80S SW is one of the most popular larger asp minnows because its 12 g weight provides outstanding casting distance and its stable action handles fast current. It is also suitable for salmon, sea trout and large trout in powerful rivers, including Scandinavian waters.
Key features. The semi-long lip grips the water, while the flat body, low centre of gravity and fixed-weight design keep the lure stable in strong and changing current. Ryuki 80S SW retains its action at high retrieve speed and even when pulled directly against powerful flow. It starts working immediately and responds precisely to rod movements. The streamlined, low-profile body reduces air resistance, giving this fixed-weight minnow outstanding casting performance. Its 80 mm profile imitates larger baitfish and remains highly visible in current.
Action and application. When targeting asp, Ryuki 80S SW can be retrieved quickly and steadily, across the current or directly against it. Long casting reaches fish feeding well away from shore, while stable high-speed action matches the aggressive hunting style of asp. For salmon, sea trout and trout, use consecutive twitches, a controlled drift or a down-cross presentation. Its sinking body reaches the middle and lower layers, while the approximate 0.7–1.2 m running depth suits riffles, current seams and areas around larger stones.
Why choose it:
• 80 mm, 12 g sinking saltwater minnow;
• long and accurate casting reaches feeding fish at distance;
• stable action at high speed and directly against strong current;
• starts quickly and responds precisely to twitching;
• built for coastal predators, while widely used for asp and trout in Lithuania.
