DUO Realis Shinmushi Series

DUO Realis Shinmushi is a series of precisely crafted cicada-style topwater lures that imitate insects falling onto the water surface – naturally, convincingly, and effectively. These lures have achieved massive success in Japanese fisheries and perform just as well in our waters for chub, perch, ide, or cautious trout. Key features include a solid body, soft legs, elastomer wings, and a unique action that combines subtle vibration and realistic “rolling” on the surface. Even upon impact, the lure generates sounds and ripples that immediately catch the attention of predators.

The Koshinmushi (smaller version) and Shinmushi (larger version) models cover a wide range of scenarios – from stillwaters to flowing rivers. Thanks to customization options (such as interchangeable legs or color parts), you can easily tailor the lure to your personal style. Realis cicadas are remarkable in that they work at ultra-slow retrieve or even when left still – a gentle twitch is enough to create subtle vibrations that reliably trigger strikes. For summer topwater fishing of insect-feeding fish, this is an absolute weapon.
