Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F), 1/4oz C24 (Mirror) fishing lure #6622

Mirroring the flash of a panicked baitfish, the C24 Mirror color pattern on this Japanese-made minnow catches light through its translucent body with a subtle rainbow sheen. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7.5g), this Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F) is a staple for shallow-water applications, specifically designed for a diving depth of 2.6ft (0.8 m). Cataloged under product code 6622, the specimen features a dark blue dorsal side that contrasts with its holographic scales. Its floating construction is built for casting and twitching techniques when targeting perch or pike. The hardware consists of two treble hooks and a clear, integrated diving lip, all of which remain in great shape. This specific lure is well-preserved with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only very light signs of its age while maintaining the high-quality finish expected from Duel manufacturing.
