Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Arc Minnow, 3/4oz fishing lure #14274

Measuring a substantial 5" (13 cm), this discontinued Yo-Zuri Arc Minnow features a luminous "Glow" finish designed to maintain visibility in deep or murky water. Produced in Japan by Yo-Zuri/Duel under product code 14274, the lure is weighted at 3/4 oz (21 g) and engineered as a suspending minnow. This specific buoyancy allows the lure to stay suspended at depths of up to 6.5 ft (2 m) during the pause of a cast. The aesthetic details include a dark blue back over silver scales, complemented by realistic molded pectoral fins and striking red eyes. Rated at 5/5 condition, the specimen presents in excellent shape with three clean treble hooks and a clear diving lip. Its slender profile provides a lifelike target for a variety of predatory species when casting.
