Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-zuri Duel Fuze Banana Boat , 2/5oz 76 fishing lure #18220

Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length, this Japanese-made topwater specimen carries a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) and represents the precision engineering synonymous with the Yo-Zuri/Duel lineage. The color pattern, known as 76, utilizes a dark blue-to-black gradient along the spine that gives way to intricately scaled silver flanks and a faint orange tint on the underside. Listed under product code 18220, the Fuze Banana Boat is a dedicated surface lure built as a noisy, floating baitfish imitation for pike and perch. The hardware includes two robust treble hooks, and the condition of this particular piece is an exceptional 5/5. Notable visual details include the oversized, realistic eyes and the tapered, cigar-shaped body designed for long-distance casting. This Fuze series lure incorporates an internal rattle system intended to generate sound directly at the water's surface.
