The Yo-Zuri L-Minnow is the most famous wobbler among the baits produced by the famous Japanese company Yo-Zuri (DUEL). During its existence on the market, the wobbler has earned a wide range of love and respect from anglers, has become a living legend and a hallmark of the Yo-Zuri (DUEL) company. Yo-Zuri L-Minnow bait is caught perch, pike, lipstick, salad, trout. Arguably, you can catch almost any spinning fish with this wobbler. Let's talk about this wobbler in more detail.
What the Yo-Zuri L-Minnow wobbler looks like
Wobbler shape
The body of the Yo-zuri L-Minnow is made of high-quality, dense plastic, which is not afraid of the teeth of a large pike, or hitting rocks or driftwood underwater.
The body shape is elongated, as it should be for minnow class wobbler, but at the same time a bit plump. This body shape makes it very attractive to various types of predatory fish.
Tongue
The tongue is semi-circular in size, placed at an angle of about 45 degrees to the body of the bait. The length of the tongue is optimal in relation to the length of the wobbler.
Thanks to the tongue, the behavior of the bait in the water accurately reproduces the swimming movements of a live fish. The wobbler is easily kept at the desired depth by changing the speed of winding the line and the position of the rod.
Coloring
A large selection of colors suitable for the most diverse fishing conditions is another big plus of this bait, which is why it is so versatile and popular among fishermen. The Yo-Zuri L-Minnow is effective in open water almost any time of the year, starting immediately after the spring thaw, catching fish on hot July days and continuing to catch fish well into the fall when predator activity decreases.
The quality of the coloring is satisfactory, the paint has peeled off a little, but not in whole pieces, in the place of scratches caused during fishing. Even with a partial loss of coloring, the wobbler continues to work well and catch fish.
Many have an enhanced holographic paint coating and expressive voluminous eyes.
Most popular colors: M92, M37, M99, M100.
Yo-Zuri L-Minnow long casting system
Inside there is a special cavity inside which weights move. When casting, the weight falls on the rear, tail part of the bait, thanks to which the wobbler flies far and accurately. When we sink it, the weight shifts to the front of the lure and starts working immediately, at the first turn of the reel. The weight not only increases casting distance, but also creates sound vibrations that attract fish from afar.
L-Minnow Hooks
The Yo-zuri L-Minnow tees are a no-brainer, to say the least. First, their size is a little too small for this size bait, and secondly, the tees wear out very quickly and start to rust. I would suggest changing the tees right away to higher quality tees like Owner and going a size or two bigger. With such hooks, the wobbler will sink a little faster, its flight characteristics will improve, and the work will not deteriorate at all.
Casting and working the Yo-Zuri L-Minnow in the water
The Yo-Zuri L-Minnow has a wonderful active and stable game on a smooth cast. The weight placed in the inner cavity of the bait creates a noise that additionally attracts fish. Although the name of the wobbler includes the word "Minnow", it works like a Crank wobbler on a smooth line. The amplitude of the mid-frequency wobbler's movements is quite wide, which is not characteristic of minnow wobblers, which usually play sluggishly on a smooth lead.
The lure shows itself interestingly during twitching, as it begins to thrash from side to side, mimicking a wounded fish with surprising accuracy. He shows himself perfectly during twitching and fully justifies the "Minnow" in his name.
It also holds strong current well, maintaining stable performance even under heavy current.
Yo-Zuri L-Minnow is one of the most popular shad fishing baits. When catching shad, the best results are shown by even casts at a medium pace. There are cases when shad catches up with the wobbler, but does not dare to attack, in such cases it is necessary to stop the passing, often at the moment of a pause, baiting occurs.
When catching pike, good results are shown by an even casting at a slow pace, sometimes it is useful to slow down the casting a little, the pike often grabs the bait on pause. Sometimes the best results pike fishing show stop'n'go passing
Good control of the wobbler allows you to catch fish in hard-to-reach places. the bait lures even an inactive predator out of hiding. But when fishing in such places, you should remember that the wobbler sinks and quickly reaches its working horizon, and with pauses it can sink even deeper. Therefore, you must not forget about the obstacles on the bottom.
