Museum Archive: Vintage Yo-Zuri/Duel Yo-Zuri SS Minnow, 1/4oz CR fishing lure #6712

Shimmering blue and silver scales accented by dark mackerel-style stripes define the finish on this shallow-running minnow. This Yo-Zuri SS Minnow, identified by product code 6712, carries the signature deep red eyes that are a staple of their classic designs. At a length of 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), it is specifically weighted for casting toward aggressive hunters like pike and perch. The floating design is engineered to swim at depths between 4" and 15" (0.1 m to 0.4 m), keeping the bait in the strike zone just below the surface. A small, clear diving lip ensures the lure stays high in the water column, avoiding snags in grassy shallows. The side of the body features crisp gold "YO-ZURI F" branding, and in this 5/5 condition, the original treble hooks and nose split ring remain in excellent shape.
