The only lure I use for BIG trout

I've trout fished small SE MN trout streams for roughly 10 years. I started with spinners/cleos, but was never able to entice larger trout to bite (16"+). My first year using the 2 3/4" version, I caught a 23" brown trout, and several over 18". This lure drives fish crazy when you "dance it". Small jerks while retrieving it really mimics a dead or dying minnow, and big boys come from the depths to investigate. I pair this on my 5 ft Fenwick with a Pflueger president 6925 reel, along with 6 lb mono. On the days where fish act hungry, but never fully commit, I use the 2" version. The smaller presentation can entice more strikes. My go to is the 2 3/4" Brown, Brook, and green/gold models. Buy this lure, work on the "dance", and you will catch big Trout.

I have used the 2" size for years on both stocked and wild trout from Pennsylvania to Colorado and have yet to find anything that turns the trout on like the Pins Minnow. They flat out work. Tips: 1. Cut off the front split ring and tie directly to the line with a Rapala Knot - Way better action and easier to tune. 2. Be sure to replace the hooks when necessary with the EXACT same size and use a light wire treble - The action is awesome but very delicate.

Have had several hooks pull out of the lure and the eye that you snap to resulting in a useless lure. I attempted to contact Yozuri but they will not respond back. This has taken place on 3-5 lb walleyes. This would not be so bad except for the price. They are great lures but need a better anchor job where the hooks and eye are attached to the lure.

These cast well and hold up well. I've bounced them off a few rocks and no issues. True trout catchers! Gold flame and hot pink trout are special.
