Yamamoto 3.5in Hinge Minnow PRO Blue | Rolling Action Lure

A versatile action lure built for modern anglers

The Yamamoto Hinge Minnow PRO Blue is designed to deliver an inviting rolling action that attracts attention in a variety of water conditions. Its jointed tail produces a dynamic motion that remains lively even on a straight retrieve, helping you cover water efficiently and stay in the strike zone longer.

In addition to motion, the bait is engineered for control. Laminated top and bottom sections are paired with independent weighting, producing a smooth roll that responds to your retrieval pace. Shoulder flanges slow the bait slightly, giving you a more deliberate presentation at the moment a fish is watching.

Offered in a range of sizes and colors, including 3.5, 5, 6, and 7 inches and 10 Yamamoto colors, the Hinge Minnow lets you match conditions and target areas with confidence. PRO Blue, along with the broader color lineup, provides options for clear and stained water alike.

Practical use tips

Try slow-to-moderate retrieves along weed edges, drop-offs, and pockets where cover meets open water. The lure's motion can help you maintain a consistent presence as you explore new water. In stained or clearer water alike, the action can attract attention and invite following bites.

• Experiment with pace to find the triggering speed for your spot
• Cast close to structure, then work the bait along edge lines and breaks
• Pair with a mid-range rod for better feel of the rolling action
