Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel YO-ZURI Sashimi Pencil , 3/5oz Gold fishing lure #11983

Ribbed texturing along the flanks of this 4" (10cm) Japanese-made topwater is engineered to provide a unique sound profile while it moves along the surface. Weighing in at 3/5oz (16g), the YO-ZURI Sashimi Pencil is built for stability and casting distance across open water. Identified by product code 11983, the lure features a gold color scheme that visually transitions into shades of green and chartreuse, mimicking the natural shifting hues of live baitfish. The construction includes a noisy internal rattle, categorized specifically as a sound-type lure to draw attention from predators like pike, zander, and perch. Because it is a floating model, the fishing depth is maintained at the surface at 0ft (0m). The specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its high-gloss finish, large 3D eyes, and sharp, corrosion-resistant treble hooks. Detailed gill plates and a dark-tinted head section provide additional realism to the profile.
