Duo - Spearhead Ryuki 70S
Specifications
About this lure
The Spearhead Ryuki 70S is a 70mm, 9g sinking minnow designed for bigger rivers, fast flows, and deep runs where trout are feeding. Its flat-sided body and fixed weight design provide excellent stability and responsiveness, even in powerful currents.
The semi-long lip gives a strong water bite, allowing the lure to dig in quickly and maintain a crisp, natural wobble-roll. It casts long and true, and responds instantly to twitches or pauses, letting you work it with precision in complex current seams.
In New Zealand, the 70S is ideal for big browns and rainbows in larger rivers, hydro canals, and deep pools where smaller lures can’t hold their line. It reliably tracks mid-depth to bottom, making it a go-to when fish are holding deep but still chasing baitfish.

How to fish the Duo - Spearhead Ryuki 70S
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Spearhead Ryuki 70S upstream or across fast currents and let it sink through the water column on a controlled drop.
Work it with short twitches and pauses to trigger strikes from trout holding in deep runs and complex current seams.
The 9g weight and sinking design allow it to cut through powerful flows and track mid-depth to bottom without tumbling, maintaining a crisp wobble-roll even in heavy water.
Pair it with a 2-4 kg leader on a spinning or light baitcasting outfit; the semi-long lip and flat-sided body respond instantly to rod movement, so precision is rewarded in tight lies where bigger browns and rainbows feed on baitfish.
