Yo-Zuri Mag minnows

[Shauno]

Hey guys,
While the sunjects hot about good bream lures, have you huys tried yo-Zuri Magnet minnows? they are a similar lure to those listed in the previous threads they have reasonable paint jobs, no flairy holographics but good standard baitfish and fluro colours the green mackrel is a favourite of mine. In fact I have used them almost extensively, especially early in my breamin life. I have causght 14 species on the 65mm GM (green Mackrel and about 8 so far, I think on my second fav colour IV (pilchard) the mullet colour is awesome too.
You guys probably already know but they have recently redeveloped these lures and the colour range has changed slightly so has the listed size. Yo-zuri rate them as a 70mm lure now instead of 65mm but I assure you that the size hasn't changed but just the shape around the head slightly.
Anyhow I have found them especially good in clear water I have found them best in the onk (local water in Sa) AT LOW WATER SIGNIFYING THERE MAX TROLLED DEPTH OF ABOUT 1.75M AND ABOUT 1.2M CAST SHOWING THEY ARE GOOD LURES FOR THE FLATS WORK YOU GUYS DO, i'LL HAVE TO COME OVER SOON AND ARRANGE A TRIP TO FISH SOME OF THE 50CM PRODUCING BREAMASOURAUS FLATS!!!!
CHEERS TRY THE LURES THEY CRANK!!!!!

One of the most ingenious lures ever made. It features Yo-Zuri's unique Magnet Weight Transfer System. An internal raceway houses two steel balls, one magnetized. On the cast, the balls roll to the tail of the lure for maximum casting distance. On the retrieve, the balls are magnetically locked to maintain a tight, balanced wiggling action.

Magnetic Weight Transfer System - on a cast, the magnet and steel balls shift to the back of the lure for maximum casting distance. On the retrieve, the balls are locked in the belly of the lure (via magnetic attraction) to provide a balanced, irresistible wiggling action that mimics an injured baitfish.

Highly detailed, etched, holographic finish complete with gill plates is ultra-realistic.

Durable saltwater treble hooks are extremely sharp for quick hooksets.

Stainless steel split rings are strong and corrosion resistant.

Thru-wire construction on all models adds strength and durability for fighting really big fish.

Large 3-dimensional eyes provide an easy target.


THE ARMS MINNOW ALSO LOOK COOL DON'T HAVE ONE MYSELF BUT IF IT'S YO-ZURI IT'S DESERVES A SPOT IN ONE OF MY BOXES!!!


ARMS MINNOW MICRO



The suspending Arms Minnow Micro features internal steel balls that increase casting distance, give off rattling vibrations and deliver a lifelike side-to-side action. The over-sized holographic eyes gather and reflect light and the "scaled" etched finish gives the lure a real bait-fish appearance. The Arms Minnow Micro will dive to a depth of 18 inches and is most effective worked with a jerk-and-twitch retrieve.

3D-holographic eyes.

Internal steel balls maximize casting distance and emit rattling vibrations.

Detailed etched finish.

Yeah used some mag minnows to good effect on tailor - cast like a rocket with the weight integration system. There are plenty of copies over in Japan and several sort of 5cm lures with weight integration as well... pricey buggers however.

They look really good ;) I like Yo Zuri lures a lot & the squid jigs too. I just got some Yo Zuri Arc Minnows which I'm going to try at night on some of the flats around here. They come with rechargeable light sticks that fit in a slot in the belly just behind the bib. Should be interesting to try anyhow.
