A Floating Minnow for Steady and Twitch-Pause Retrieves
The Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow Floating pairs a baitfish profile with side-to-side swimming action and a light-reflecting prism finish. This 5-1/4-inch, 5/8 oz model gives you several ways to work a cast, from a slow, steady swim to a twitch-and-pause presentation.
A clear-coated polycarbonate body features detailed gill plates, with saltwater-grade tin hooks and stainless steel split-ring hardware. Choose a color for the baitfish and water you are fishing, then vary your retrieve to find the pace that draws a response.

How to Fish It
Begin with a slow to moderate steady retrieve to feel the lure's swimming action. On the next cast, add short rod-tip twitches and pauses, taking up excess slack between movements so you stay connected to the lure.
Work along current seams, baitfish activity, or the edges of cover, allowing enough clearance to avoid snagging the hooks. Change one part of the retrieve at a time, such as speed or pause length, to find a repeatable presentation. Match your rod to the 5/8 oz lure weight, check the leader and hardware after fish or snags, and rinse and dry the lure after saltwater use.
