Anyone fish the Duo Realis SP jerkbaits? Saw one on Ebay that caught my eye. Bait is a 100mm silent suspending model.  I am a huge fan of silent suspending baits.

They are sort of a hybrid of a rerange and pointer 100 action-wise. Definitely nice baits.

I use them and they work.  I like the 130 size the most.  They have a lot of side to side flash.

I have some and like them too - they are in their own spot amongst the field.

 

I like Duo in general; their silent cranks were catching me cold water fish when nothing else was.

This one caught my eye.

I have that exact one in the 110 size. Great bait when they want a natural color. I've got probably 12-15 Duo jerkbaits in the 100-130 sizes and a whole bunch of smaller ones. They're killer baits. 

Excellent quality, price is always nice, and not once have I pulled up a fish on a Duo 110sp and thought “I wish I’d spent the extra on a vision 110 instead.”

 

My favorites are the 130. 

The Duo JB family is diverse.  The 100sp is kind of like a pointer 100, round with lots of flash and roll.  Unlike the rest of the bigger JBs the 100sp lacks a weight transfer system, but still casts very well.  

The 110sp is a little flatter, which makes gives it a little sharper action.  Its the least stable of all tehe Duo JBs ive fished.  If you work it too hard, it will blow out or hang the line.

the 120sp is a slightly longer flatter version of the 110.  The flat sides give it more of a side to action.  Its more stable than the 110.

I have no experience with the 130sp, but I'm told its just a larger version of the 120sp.

All of the bigger JBs other than the new Raz which ill be trying soon, and the 85sp have a heavier, more aggressive action than a MB.  They work well in combination with visions 110s, as if one doesnt work the other likely will.

I've been a huge fab of Duo for some time, everything they make is quality.  They are the only stock hooks that are in the same neighborhood of sharpness and quality of G finesse, Owner, Ryugi and so on.  While the finishes don't have the complexity of MB or variety of LC, they're very good.  Prism Gill, River Bait, Ghost Gill. Optishad, Morning Dawn, just so many good ones.

They used to be the best deal going for about 14$, but like everything they recently took a price jump going to 17$, which is a big difference when you're buying a half dozen at a time.
