DUO Beach Walker Changer 105S: A Surf Lure That Changes Action With Retrieve Speed
minagiman
DUO’s Beach Walker Changer 105S is a surf lure whose action changes type depending on retrieve speed. Most lures just get stronger or weaker as you speed up or slow down. The Changer switches between two different actions, so one lure gives you several ways to fish. You could buy it in three colours and rotate just this lure all day, which suits anglers who like to travel light.
Key features
1. Easy to cast
The Changer is not a pure distance lure. Its weight sits near the centre and it has no weight-transfer system, so it does not chase maximum distance. Instead, it is designed to be easy to cast whatever your experience level.
2. Two actions, depending on speed
On a fast retrieve it swings; on a slow retrieve it switches to a shimmy-roll. That lets you change your approach to match how active the fish are, without changing lures.

How I would use it
- Search fast: wind quickly to cover water with the swing action
- Slow down for wary fish: drop to a slow retrieve and let the shimmy-roll do the work
- Use one lure, several colours: change colour rather than lure type as conditions change
My take
Two different actions from one lure, just by changing retrieve speed, is the big appeal. For surf anglers who want fewer lures in the bag, it is an interesting option.
