Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Arc Minnow Glow, 1/3oz fishing lure #14203

Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this Japanese-crafted minnow features a distinct luminescent finish designed for visibility in deep or murky waters. The Arc Minnow, identified by product code 14203, is a discontinued vintage lure from Yo-Zuri/Duel that remains a staple for many light-tackle enthusiasts. Its weight of 1/3 oz (9 g) is balanced for casting, while the small, angled diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 4 ft (1.2 m). Visually, the specimen showcases a realistic baitfish print, complete with a defined scale pattern and gill details, accented by a striking red eye. In dark conditions, the body emits a steady green glow, a characteristic that remains fully functional. The hardware includes two original treble hooks attached with stainless steel split rings. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally well-preserved and maintaining the integrity of its original finish and components. The floating buoyancy keeps the lure at the surface until retrieved.
