Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow S13, 1oz fishing lure #13746

A weight of 1oz (25g) provides this Japanese-made sinking minnow the density required for reaching substantial distances when casting into coastal winds. Measuring 5" (13cm), the Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow S13 is finished in a classic blue mackerel pattern, where dark vertical bars contrast against the brilliant holographic silver sides. The clear diving lip is designed for durability, paired with heavy-duty split rings and two sharp treble hooks capable of handling pike or large perch. Under the product code 13746, this Yo-Zuri/Duel creation showcases the high-quality craftsmanship expected from vintage Japanese tackle. The reflective body is complemented by realistic silver eyes with dark pupils, creating a lifelike profile in the water column. In its current 5/5 condition, the exterior surfaces and hardware are remarkably well-preserved, maintaining the original luster of the holographic foil. This model is specifically weighted for sinking applications, allowing anglers to explore deeper strike zones using steady casting or rhythmic twitching techniques.
