Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F), 1/4oz NM fishing lure #7909

Detailed with a classic rainbow trout pattern, the NM color code on this Japanese-made minnow features a vibrant pink lateral stripe set against a silver flank and a deep green back. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 1/4oz (7.5g), this Yo-Zuri/Duel Crystal Minnow (F) carries the specific product code 7909. The construction features a slim, arched body profile equipped with two sharp treble hooks and a small clear diving lip calibrated for depths of 2.6ft (0.8m). Intended for casting and twitching techniques for species like perch and pike, the lure showcases the signature holographic-style finish that reflects light through its translucent body. Black spots are precisely placed along the upper third of the lure, transitioning into a dark head section with a prominent white eye and black pupil. The exterior surfaces and original hardware are exceptionally clean, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. The underside is finished in a smooth silver, completing the naturalistic profile designed for shallow-water presentations.
