Quick take
A long-casting floating minnow with tight wiggle action, designed for distant approach to wary fish.
This 6 3/4-inch floating minnow from Yo-Zuri is built for anglers who want a long cast and a bait that runs in the top few feet of water. Its weight transfer system is meant to carry it far, even into a headwind. On a retrieve it dives roughly 1 to 3 feet, with a tight wiggle that suits mackerel and other shallow-running fish.
Best for
- Casting toward shoreline cover from distance
- Calm to moderate water conditions
- Anglers who need a lure that dives shallow
Skip if
- You fish very weedy water where treble hooks tangle
- You need maximum casting distance in strong wind
Strengths
- Weight transfer system launches the lure long distances
- Treble hooks with split rings hold up to hard strikes
- Tight wiggle mimics a wounded or fleeing baitfish
Trade-offs
- Floating design limits depth to 1-3 feet
- Treble hooks foul more easily in vegetation
- Polycarbonate body can crack with hard impacts

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
