Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow SP13, 3/4oz fishing lure #12099

Weighing 3/4oz (23g), this suspending jerkbait utilizes the precise internal balance characteristic of the Japanese-made Yo-Zuri/Duel lineup. The SP13 model, listed under product code 12099, measures 5" (13cm) and is finished in a high-contrast green mackerel pattern over a reflective gold and orange body. Designed for casting and twitching techniques, the lure is rated for a diving depth of 2.6ft (0.8m) to 3.3ft (1m). The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a well-preserved holographic finish and clear, undamaged eyes. Its hardware includes two silver-tone treble hooks and a clear diving lip securely molded into the head section. This particular color scheme is designed for high visibility, combining dark vertical barring on the back with a bright underside to trigger strikes from pike and perch in varied lighting conditions.
