Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-ZURI Duel CS Minnow, 1/4oz Trout fishing lure #13071

Dotted with a series of black spots along its iridescent flanks, the Trout pattern on this Yo-Zuri/Duel specimen captures a classic Japanese aesthetic. Weighing 1/4oz (6.5g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the CS Minnow (Product Code 13071) is a sinking, noise-producing model designed for deeper presentations. The long, clear diving lip is built for reaching greater depths than standard minnow lures. On the dark back of the body, the "CS Minnow" stamp remains sharp and legible, showcasing the brand's attention to detail. Its color palette transitions smoothly from a deep blue top to a pinkish-mauve mid-section, finishing with a silver metallic belly. This particular lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its original hardware and large yellow eyes with black pupils appearing completely intact. The sinking nature of the construction allows for targeted depth control in various water conditions.
