Crystal Minnow is the hands down No. 1 trolling lure, with a well deserved reputation for producing trophy fish. Indeed, my personal best striper, a 28 pound brute, couldn’ t ignore a gold deep running Crystal Minnow on a chilly February morning. Yet Yo-Zuri has a lot more to offer for California striper anglers beyond deadly trolling baits. They’ ve got pluggers covered too. Let’ s explore some of these exciting baits!

RATTL’ N VIBE

The Yo-Zuri Rattl’ n Vibe is a lipless vibrating style of lure that has a distinct rattle. The weight and BBs inside the Rattl’ n Vibe increase the distance the sound travels under the water, while adding casting weight and emitting a natural shad-indistress sound. This style of lure is well known striper killer and can be fished with different retrieves; fast, slow, stop-andgo, vertical jigged or ripping and falling action. The Yo-Zuri Rattl’ n Vibe actually swims down on the fall unlike most lipless crank baits.

HYDRO POPPER

Yo-Zuri is proud to announce the introduction of the new and improved Hydro Popper. This compact topwater Popper features an extra wide mouth which causes a very large splash which by Cal Kellogg

draws fish in from long distances. Perfectly weighted for long distance casting, the Hydro Popper is an ideal lure for fishing for striped bass. Yo-Zuri has upgraded the new Hydro Popper with a durable polycarbonate body, through wire construction and 3X strong treble hooks to give it the durability to handle trophy fish. This bait comes in eight colors and two sizes. The next time you’ re looking for an affordable, durable and versatile topwater lure, grab a Hydro Popper and start catching.

HYDRO PENCIL

The Hydro Pencil has been redesigned with added features and a lower price point. This versatile walk the dog style lure comes in two sizes seven color patterns. Perfectly weighted for long distance casting, the Hydro Pencil is a deadly striper bait. The large single cadence rattle calls fish in from long distances and the stunning painted finishes are too much for predators like stripers to resist.

FLOATING SURFACE CRUISER This versatile pencil popper can be fished with a stop and pop, walk the dog or skipping action on a fast retrieve.

Yo-Zuri has upgraded the new Surface Cruiser with their patented color change technology, Power Body and through wire construction to give it the durability to handle the biggest bass!

3D INSHORE TWITCHBAIT

The 3D Inshore Twitch Bait is a slow sinking lipless hard bait with excellent balance for quick starting action around cover. Designed to be fished in shallow water the 3D Inshore Twitch Bait is an exceptional choice for fishing the California Delta.

Pro-Cure Super Gels are sticky and stay on baits for a long time in both cold and warm water.

My favorite scent for stripers is anise, but threadfin shad is very good too. Over the years I’ ve had

Yo-Zuri’ s patented 3D prism finish sends out flashes of light which fish can see from a great distance. The internal hologram sheet never wears off and keeps on flashing even when the clear body is scratched. The deep bodied shape mirrors the threadfin shad that Delta stripers feed on.

The strategic weight position and flat sides give the 3D Inshore Twitch Bait an erratic darting action on a twitch and pause retrieve. Put it all together and you have a high quality Japanese hard bait at an extraordinary price point!

3622 great luck combining anise and crawfish as well.

You can certainly get by with only anise, but you might want to pick up two or three more flavors, since it’ s fun to experiment. When the water is muddy, I know several anglers that swear by using garlic scent. And of course Bloody Tuna has a strong following too.

For preparing baits like shad and sardines, Pro-Cure offers one of the finest brines available with their legendary Brine N’ Bite.

Old timers use rock salt, but a rock salt brine cannot compare to the benefits of using Brine N Bite. Like rock salt it toughens your baits, but unlike rock salt it infuses your baits with powerful amino acids that magnify the smell, flavor of your baits, and trigger an impulse in a fish’ s brain to feed. It tightens your baits scales, and helps keep baits fresh longer. Many guides have realized with Brine N Bite you can save your baits and fish them over the next few days.
