The DUEL LQ Darter squid lure has been named Darter due to the sharp, “sliding darting” motion it produces, which has proven to be effective for the curious and hungry squids.

The “Sliding Dart” motion is launched left and right, at an unprecedentedly steep angle, and with the effect that the 3D Lens technology produces, the brightness of the inner sheet doubles, while it is being diffused in all directions, attracting squid from a distance.

The DUEL LQ Darter squid jigs feature various technologies created by the Japanese company.

3D Lens International Patent Inner Sheet. The reflected light from the inner sheet passes through the 3D lens and resembles natural light, with a sense of life, aiming to attract squids and cuttlefish. If you take a closer look to the body of the DUEL LQ Darter, you will notice the 3-Dimensional, prism construction, that produces lifelike flashes. The hologram sheet has been built into the body of the lure. No matter how much the lure has been used, or bitten, the squid jig will continue to shine, without peeling off.

Patapata Fins. The slightest current, causes the fins to vibrate, creating a strong appeal, that switches on predatory instincts.

The Trick hook, feature a glowing ring, that is easily noticed in the dark. These hooks dramatically reduce snagging, as they bend moderately, resulting in a high recovery rate of the lures.

DUEL has also adopted a system, by which you can easily distinguish the UV color of the squid jig at a glance. Simply throw a UV flash light on the dot.

• Light Green – Luminous body
• Light Blue – Super blue luminous body
• Purple – Keimura body
• Yellow – Neon Flash Green body
• Red – Neon Flash Red body

The Neon Flash technology is a breakthrough as it completely changes the conventional concept of Egis color. It is believed that squids have an excellent ability to distinguish the shades of colors and the amount of light. When an angler thinks of “UV reflection”, he thinks of Keimura (a fluorescent purple color, which emits pale light when exposed to ultraviolet rays) and Glow (which stores the energy of Ultraviolet rays and emits yellow-green light). Fluorescent colors have the property of receiving the energy of ultraviolet light and converting it into visible light and depending on the wavelength of the color, the way it emits light differs from Red, and Green. The Neonflash fluorescent properties of the body make it appealing even in conditions where UV rays are difficult to reach, such as on cloudy days, or in murky tides.

Many anglers consider key factors for color selection, when it comes to Eging, such as “Water Clarity”, “Light Level”, “Water Depth” and “Time of Day”. The color luminescence properties of the body make it appealing even in conditions where UV rays are difficult to reach, such as on cloudy days, or in murky tides.

DUEL has developed new colors, to match each situation and with easy-to-understand names, it is possible to use them according to the situation, regardless of your level of expertise.

• Deepwater Green – A combination of natural green and a red base, that makes the silhouette of the lure stand out. The emitted light will also make low-activity squids that lurk in the deeper end of the water column, react.
• Mazume Orange – The highly visible Orange + UV body are effective at low light conditions.
• Sumishio Blue – The Glowing properties and Natural Blue of the lures carrying this color, are more effective in areas with clear water.
• Daytime Pink – A Purple Pink body with UV properties, produce an excellent effect during daytime.
• Nigori Lime – Even in murky waters where UV rays are difficult to reach, the colors of these lures increase their appeal and attract squids.
• Donyori Red – Uses a Neon Flash Red body that emits UV light to clearly display its silhouette. Even in cloudy conditions where UV light is weak, the silhouette effect increases the chances of attracting squids.
• Mogasana Brown – Uses a Neon Flash Red color that blends in with the brown seaweed and reefs often found in seaweed beds.
