Duo Rough Trail Blazin 70 S 7cm | 20g: The Compact Powerhouse

The Duo Rough Trail Blazin 70 S is the most compact entry in the Blazin lineup, packing the devastating power of an offshore weapon into a 7cm frame. At Gerrys Fishing, we find this 20g sinking jerkbait to be an absolute essential for shore anglers who need to match the hatch when predators are focused on tiny fry, without sacrificing the ability to reach distant marks.

Despite its small size, it is pure muscle, built with the same very solid construction as its larger siblings to withstand the power of very large predators.

Engineering & Ballistic Design

• High-Density Compact Profile: Packing 20g into just 7cm creates a lure with incredible density. This allows it to cast very far, cutting through headwinds that would stall traditional 7cm minnows.

• Front-Heavy Diving Balance: An internal weight occupies a large part of the internal structure, providing a front-heavy body. This ensures the lure digs in immediately upon retrieval, making it perfectly suited to strong currents and high-energy surf.

• Aerodynamic Sardine Shape: The body is meticulously designed to fly far, taking on a sardine-shaped silhouette that offers minimal air resistance during the cast and a realistic profile in the water.

• High-Speed Stability: Like the rest of the Rough Trail family, the 70 S can maintain very high retrieval speeds. It is engineered not to blow out or tumble, even when burned back to trigger aggressive reflex strike

Tactical Applications & Strategy

The Blazin 70 S is a technical tool for high-pressure scenarios where distance and small profile are both required. The Gerrys team suggests:

• Matching the Tiny Prey: When Bass or Sea Trout are locked on to small sprats or whitebait, the 7cm profile is the absolute reference. The 20g weight ensures you can still reach them if they are feeding far behind the first breaker.

• Estuary Mouths & Tidal Races: The front-heavy weight is formidable in fast-moving water. It allows you to prospect quickly through deep runs where lighter lures would be swept to the surface and out of the strike zone.

• The Jig-and-Rip Retrieve: Because it is a sinking jerkbait, you can let it sink into deeper pockets and then rip it back with sharp rod twitches. This creates a massive amount of flash and vibration for such a small lure.

• Punching Through the Gale: On days when a strong headwind makes lure fishing nearly impossible, the Blazin 70 S acts like a casting weight, providing the greater casting distances needed to stay in the game.

Gerrys Verdict:

The Duo Rough Trail Blazin 70 S (7cm/20g) is a high-value Japanese lure that solves the problem of small prey vs. long distance. Its solid construction and effective diving make it a must-have for shore-based power fishing. It is the perfect blend of finesse size and offshore strength
