Chief Designer

Each DUO lure is based on a hand-carved original by CEO and Chief Designer, Masahiro Adachi, one of the world’s best lure designers. Adachi's designs made their debut in the early 1990s, stunning the world of lure enthusiasts with his innovative engineering and deep understanding of fish and their biology. Adachi's lures are made by blending his research, lure design, and knowledge of fish feeding habits to create truly world-class lures.

How are duo lures designed?

Step 1

Hand-carving a master sample

DUO’s CEO and Chief Designer, Masahiro Adachi, creates new lure models himself. The hand-carving process allows him to build strength and a natural centre of gravity into the design.

Step 2

Precision carving an electrode

Based on the hand-carved model, a pure copper electrode is eventually made, contoured to the exact profile of the original with extremely high precision.

Step 3

Creating the inverted profile for production

The electrode is precision scanned to 1/1000 3D tolerances, way above industry standards. An inverted body profile is then produced. Final brushing and softening of the surface is done by hand.
