Wide Range of Approaches with Heavyweight Advantage

The primary advantage of heavyweight lures is their exceptional casting performance. The increased weight significantly extends casting distance, effortlessly reaching offshore points.

Capable of gripping the water firmly, the Seek 85 HW excels in fishing in fast-flowing rivers and is ideal for targeting seabass roaming the central areas around structures.

Recently, DUO staff member Hiromasa Sato reported a spectacular catch using the Seek 85 HW, emphasizing its effectiveness in capturing larger baitfish like saury and in situations with high pressure and varying light conditions.

Enhanced Range Control

Another notable improvement is the enhanced range control. The increased weight enables the Seek 85 HW to explore depths below the original 0~0.4m range, making it effective even when the target’s focus isn’t on the surface.

Continuation of the Signature “Seek Slide” Action

The unique “Seek Slide” action, synonymous with the Seek series, is faithfully inherited by the HW model. This action mimics the lifelike movement of a lively small fish, sliding its tail from the head pivot point. The horizontal eye design enhances the purity of the lateral movement.

The Seek 85 HW demonstrates excellent responsiveness, reacting to changes in tide and slack in the line to produce a slide action. This feature prevents seabass from losing interest and helps provoke bites.

The tail movement, designed to sway horizontally instead of the typical U-shaped tail wag, increases the purity of the lateral movement. This nuanced action variation acts as a trigger for bites and reactions.

In action, a steady retrieve is the fundamental technique, but in situations where seabass activity is low, temporarily changing the retrieve speed or adding short jerks can induce reaction bites.

The versatility offered by the Seek series makes it an invaluable tool for various approaches with just one lure. Incorporate the Seek series into your autumn seabass game for a range of effective strategies.
