Quick take
A heavy 110 mm sinking minnow for stripers and saltwater species, delivering distance casts and strong rolling action.
The Duel Hardcore Heavy Minnow is a 4.3 inch sinking minnow that weighs 1.3 oz. Its weight gives it casting reach for covering open water, and it suits both slow and fast retrieves. Anglers fishing saltwater or bass water who want a compact, long-casting minnow can add it to the box.
Best for
- Casting over deep flats and channels
- Areas where normal minnows cannot reach
- High-speed retrieves through rough water
Skip if
- You need to fish shallow; lighter lures work better
- You want a tight, energetic action; try a smaller minnow
Strengths
- Extreme weight gets distance in strong wind and current
- Rapid sink enables deep structure fishing
- Wobble roll action at all retrieve speeds
Trade-offs
