Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel YO-ZURI CRYSTAL MINNOW (F), 2/5oz fishing lure #9766

A striking holographic finish defines the body of this 11 cm (4 1/4") lure, catching light across its reflective silver scales. This Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F), identified by product code 9766, features a classic red head design and was crafted in Japan for shallow-water applications. Weighing in at 11 g (2/5 oz), the floating minnow is engineered to reach depths of approximately 2.6 ft (0.8 m), making it a reliable choice for casting or twitching when targeting pike and perch. Its construction includes a durable diving lip and two stout treble hooks mounted on secure split rings. The silver holographic side panels provide a high-contrast visual alongside the solid red head, a color scheme long favored by saltwater and freshwater anglers alike. In terms of condition, this piece is rated a 4/5, with its reflective surfaces remaining bright and the overall hardware showing minimal signs of use.
