Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri Pin's Minnow 50F, 1/16oz fishing lure #23229

A weight of 1/16oz (2g) makes this floating minnow a precision tool for light-tackle enthusiasts targeting predators in shallow water. Produced in Japan by Yo-Zuri/Duel, the lure features a striking finish characterized by green and gold vertical bars layered over a chrome silver base. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), it sits in a versatile size range for both trout and perch fishing. The clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of up to 1.6ft (0.5 m), keeping the bait in the strike zone just below the surface. Identified by product code 23229, this Pin's Minnow 50F specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on its original hardware or finish. The classic eye design with a distinct white ring around the black pupil provides a focused target point, while the body profile remains exceptionally slim.
