Duel Yo-Zuri R1409-HGM 3D Inshore Fingerling 2-3/4in Green Mackerel

Overview

Meet the Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Fingerling, a suspending minnow built for shallow saltwater action. Part of the 3D Inshore Series, it carries the same compact body and precise wobble as the 3DS Minnow, but with saltwater-specific color patterns and top-tier terminal tackle. Available in two sizes—2-3/4 inches and 4 inches—with weights of 1/4 oz and 5/8 oz, respectively, the Fingerling is designed to fish tight to structure and hold up in demanding inshore conditions.

What sets it apart

• A suspending minnow that sinks steadily into the strike zone and can be guided along edges, channels, and submerged cover
• Two size options offer flexibility from tight-to-structure drops to longer casts in shallower flats
• Tight wobble on a straight retrieve and a quick, darting action when twitched for irregular, lifelike presentations
• Small lip on the smaller model and a round, elongated body with a diamond-shaped lip for distinct actions
• Patented 3D prism finishes with internal paints that resist chipping and wear, keeping color and reflections vibrant

Colors and finish

The Fingerling features 14 proven patterns designed to trigger bites across a range of saltwater conditions. Colors include Green Mackerel, Bone, Silver Black, Redhead, Mullet, Ayu, Ghost Shad, Sardine, Chartreuse, Black Gold, Peanut Bunker, Real Glass Minnow, Real Mullet, and Real Pilchard. The combination of 3D prism and vivid hues helps create eye-catching flashes in bright sun and dim water alike.

Inshore versatility

Designed to target inshore gamefish such as Seatrout, Snook, Striped Bass, Red Drum, Spanish Mackerel, and more, the Fingerling excels when fished along structure, over flats, or near pilings and weed edges. The suspending design helps time takes during pauses and allows a wide range of retrieves—from steady to twitch-driven—without sacrificing action.

How to fish it

Cast toward structure or ambush points, then let the lure suspend briefly before a controlled retrieve. A short twitch can trigger a darting response, while a deliberate pause often invites a strike from nearby fish. Close to cover typically yields the most aggressive takes, though a longer, steady glide can cover larger zones effectively.

Usage tips

Experiment with pace and pauses to match water clarity and current. For structure-rich waters, keep the lure near edges and pilings; in open flats, a slightly longer cast with a balanced retrieve often pays off. The two sizes give you options to tailor depth and action to local conditions.
