This particular series is a worthy economical option as with half the price of the duo's equivalent for lrf, you have very good results. The lure has good movement in slow and fast retrieval that you feel on the rod with PE 0.4 and below line. It also responds well to twitches and doesn't get tangled in the line. Overall, I recommend it for beginners as they won't cry over the money they will spend on inevitable snags.
