Quick take
A sinking hard minnow that dives on a count, designed for depth control on cast and troll.
This Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Twitchbait is a 2-3/4 inch lipless minnow that sinks slowly, so it works shallow water on a twitch-and-pause retrieve. It weighs a quarter ounce, comes rigged with power treble hooks and has a prism finish with an inner hologram sheet. Anglers working inshore shallows who want a darting minnow they can cast will find it a handy one to keep in the box.
