Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F) , 1/2oz C24 (Mirror) fishing lure #9841

Reflecting light with a brilliant holographic sheen, the Mirror (C24) finish on this 11 cm (4 1/4") jerkbait is a hallmark of the Japanese-made Crystal series. This Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow (F), identified by product code 9841, features a striking blue gradient along its back that transitions into iridescent, silver-scaled sides. Weighing 1/2 oz (15 g), the lure is balanced for casting and twitching techniques, particularly when targeting pike or perch. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks attached via split rings to the underbelly and tail. A clear, angled diving lip allows the body to reach depths of 4 ft (1.2 m). This specimen is in unused condition, earning a rating of 5/5. The signature Yo-Zuri eye with its dark pupil adds a lifelike focus to the narrow baitfish profile.
