Quick take
A small floating minnow that mimics trout and panfish baitfish in shallow water.
The Yo-Zuri Pins Minnow Floating Diver is a 2 3/4 inch hard minnow bait in a hot pink trout pattern, built to float at rest. It is aimed at trout and panfish, and its weight transfer system helps with casting. A holographic foil finish adds flash along the bait's body in the water.
