Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri 3D VIB, 2/5oz fishing lure #9777

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the internal prism structure of this Japanese-made lure creates a lifelike depth when viewed from any angle. This Yo-Zuri 3D VIB, carrying product code 9777, is a refined example of the brand's engineering, weighing 2/5oz (12g) to facilitate effective casting and sinking to variable depths. The 5/5 condition highlights the integrity of the translucent body, which transitions from a rich bronze-gold back to pearlescent flanks marked with two distinct yellow vertical slashes. Built as a noisemaker or "rattlin," the lure’s hardware includes two silver-finished treble hooks and robust split rings designed for secure sets when targeting species like zander, perch, or pike. The light-refracting properties are further enhanced by a fine scale pattern molded directly into the internal surfaces of the clear plastic walls.
