HARDCORE
The sister company of famous lure brand Yo-Zuri is Duel Hardcore, now known only as Hardcore. They offer a great selection of Japanese hard baits and have many loyal fans. For 2020, anglers will find more designs, including topwater lures, lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits, and more crankbaits.
HARDCORE CRANK 3+ 70F AND CRANK 4+ 75F
The Hardcore lineup features tons of different crankbait options from finesse shad-shaped baits to squarebills. New for this year are two deeper diving options the Crank 3+ 70F and Crank 4+ 75F.
Both are round-bodied baits with an internationally patented Magnetic Weight Transfer system for better casting. They feature a specialized coating to protect the finishes from abrasion due to cover and teeth and against the sun's damage, called "Power Coat."
The 3+ will reach depths between nine and 11- feet and the 4+ will get down 12- to 14-feet deep. The actions of these baits have a high-pitched, rolling and wobbling during the retrieve.
Both baits weigh in at 3/4-ounce with the 3+ being 2 3/4" long and the 4+ coming in at 3" long. Both are offered in six different colors.
HARDCORE FLASHI'N VIBE 65S
This new lipless crankbait has a unique wide body for deep water fishing. It is head-weighted to get it to fall with a downward action and unique swimming action. It features a tungsten rattle chamber for more drawing power and the baits have a Triple Mirror Body for a flashier look.
The bait has a loud vibration and weighs in at 3/4-ounce for deep water fishing. It comes in eight fish-catching colors.

HARDCORE CRANK SR 65F, HARDCORE SHAD 75SP AND HARDCORE CRANK MR 60F
Hardcore added three more crankbaits to their stable. The new Crank SR 65F was built to have excellent buoyancy and to deflect off of underwater cover. It will dive to depths of three to five-feet of water. It is a squarebill design that weighs 1/2-ounce and will be an excellent choice for shallow-water power fishing. It is available in five colors (Crawfish, Citrus Shad, Ghost Pearl Shad, Green Silver, Natural Bluegill, and Black Back Chart.)
The Hardcore Crank MR 60F also features the "Power Coat" finish to protect it and the same proven magnetic weight transfer system mentioned in the other new Hardcore lures. This bait will dive down to depths of up to eight-feet. It is a 1/2-ounce bait and available in all of the same colors as the Crank SR 65F minus Black Back Chart. The one additional color is called Blue Back Chartreuse.
The Hardcore Shad 75SP is a shad-profiled crankbait with a unique flexible lip called the Flex-Lip design to reduce drag and give it a tight wobble during the retrieve. It will be ideal for colder waters but can be used at any time of the year.
