What is the difference between the floating and sinking Crystal Minnow?

The floating version stays near the surface and is worked with twitches and pauses; the sinking version drops and is better for deeper water or trolling. Match the sink rate to the depth you are fishing.

What sizes does it come in?

Yo-Zuri sells the Crystal Minnow in a range of lengths from small freshwater sizes up to larger saltwater models. Pick the size to match the baitfish where you fish.

Some Crystal Minnow models carry an internal rattle and others are silent. The rattling version helps in stained or windy water; the silent one suits pressured fish.

What fish is it good for?

It is a general minnow plug for bass, pike, striped bass, bluefish, salmon and similar predators. It works best cast or trolled around baitfish.

Should I replace the hooks?

Many anglers do, especially for saltwater or big fish. Upgrading to stronger trebles is a common first step.

Is it worth it over a plain minnow plug?

If flash and a lively dart matter in your water, the finish and action justify it. In murky water or around heavy cover, a cheaper plain plug does the job.
