Yo-Zuri Crystal 3D Minnow Sinking Lure – Sardine, 5-1/4-Inch / 7/8 oz | Duel

Meet the next generation of the Crystal Minnow family: the Yo-Zuri Crystal 3D Minnow Sinking Lure in Sardine. This 5-1/4-inch pattern is tuned for versatility across freshwater and saltwater, with a diving profile that reveals a lifelike presence under the surface. The lure integrates a brilliant internal 3D prism finish and Ultra Violet colors, designed to catch the light from multiple angles and entice strikes with a natural shimmer as it darts through the water.

The lure's body uses a durable ABS construction and a newer generation of Yo-Zuri's proven Crystal Minnow design. Sharper, stronger hooks provide improved bite-positive potential, while the sinking dive behavior helps reach mid-water columns where fish may be feeding. The approximate weight is 7/8 oz, a balanced choice for casting and light trolling, and the diver depth is around 7 feet when retrieved with a steady or varied pace.
