At Gerry’s Fishing, the Duo Realis Pencil 65 FW is celebrated as the finesse master of the topwater world. Measuring just 6.5cm and weighing 5.5g, this “little brother” of the Realis Pencil family packs the same tournament-winning characteristics into a compact frame.¹ Its unique spherical chin and internal steel balls allow it to perform an effortless “walk the dog” action that is incredibly stable, even in light chop.

Product Details and Uses

The Duo Realis Pencil 65 FW is a precision-engineered finesse tool for surface action:

• Effortless Surface Action: The defining feature of the Pencil 65 is its “spherical chin.” This rounded front-bottom design reduces water resistance during the twitch, allowing the lure to swing wide and slide across the surface with minimal rod effort. It is widely considered one of the easiest “walking” baits to master.

• Compact “Stealth” Profile: At 6.5cm, this lure is perfect for “matching the hatch” when fish are focused on small fry or insects. Its small size allows it to land softly on the water, making it ideal for sneaking up on timid fish in calm, shallow areas.

• Acoustic Attraction: The rear section of the lure contains free-moving steel weights. As the lure walks, these weights crash against the internal walls, creating a high-pitched “clack” that draws fish up from the depths or from within thick weed beds.

• Aerodynamic Casting: Despite weighing only 5.5g, the Realis Pencil 65 is aerodynamically shaped and rear-weighted during the cast. This ensures surprisingly long and accurate casts, allowing you to reach distant “surface breaks” without spooking the school.

• Premium Finishes: Like all Duo Realis lures, the Pencil 65 features high-definition, durable finishes that maintain their flash and realism even after countless encounters with toothy predators.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Pencil 65 is a “Finesse King” for Perch and Chub. Because it’s so easy to walk, try varying your speed. A fast “panic” walk mimics a fleeing minnow, while a slow, wide glide with long pauses is perfect for drawing a curious predator out of cover. In clear water, the high-pitched rattle is often the key to turning a “follower” into a “striker
