What makes it click with anglers

Built around Yo-Zuri's Weight Transfer System, this lure achieves impressive casting distance for its size, helping you reach favorable structure and feeding zones. An ABS resin lip adds durability while enabling a controlled descent into the strike zone, all while maintaining the signature tight wiggle that draws in game fish.

Touted as a floating diver, the Pins Minnow blends surface presence with mid-water reach, allowing you to vary depth with your retrieve to match the mood of the water and the fish you’re chasing.

Key benefits

• Weight Transfer System enhances casting distance for its compact size
• ABS resin lip provides durability and effective depth control
• Tight wiggle action that appeals to a broad range of game fish
• Versatile across lakes and streams; suitable for both casting and trolling
• Has remained a top seller for over two decades in fresh and saltwater environments

When and where to use

This lure shines when fish are feeding in the shallows during spring and fall, often during morning and evening windows. Use it along weed edges, shoreline drop-offs, or current seams where baitfish concentrate. The compact 70mm profile makes it easy to cast along tight structure and navigate around cover.

In practice, anglers blend casting and trolling techniques to maximize depth control and action. With a steady retrieve, the lure’s wiggle tracing through the water invites curious bites, while occasional pauses or faster retrieves can trigger following fish.

Real-world scenarios

Imagine casting along a sunlit shoreline where weed edges meet clearer water, or trolling a slow, steady pass through a riffle where smallmouth or trout patrol. The Pins Minnow is designed to perform with a natural, lifelike motion that can entice bites without aggressive retrieves.
