Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Minnow Floating 110mm: The Shallow-Water “Wake” Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, we highly recommend the Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Minnow 90mm for anglers working the skinniest of waters. This 12g floating lure is specifically engineered for a super-shallow diving depth of 0.6m to 0.9m (2ft to 3ft), though it is often utilized as a “wake bait” that can be worked almost on the surface. It is the perfect choice for grass flats, oyster bars, and beach troughs where a deeper diving lure would instantly snag.

The 3D Inshore Minnow features Yo-Zuri’s patented 3D Prism Finish and an internal hologram sheet. Because these reflective elements are housed inside the tough ABS resin body, the flash remains 100% effective even if the exterior is scratched by barnacles or the teeth of a trophy Striped Bass, Redfish, or Bluefish. Its strategic weighting ensures a quick-starting action, delivering a rolling movement on a straight retrieve and a sharp, erratic darting action when twitched.

Product Details and Uses

The 90mm 3D Inshore Minnow is a versatile “finesse” saltwater tool designed for precision shallow-water fishing:

• Shallow Water Versatility: This lure shines in environments where traditional minnow baits fail. It is an exceptional choice for fishing bridge shadow lines, dock lights, or extremely shallow oyster beds where predators often hide in ambush.

• The “Internal Flash” Advantage: Most lures lose their shine as they get worn down. The 3D Inshore series is different; the light-reflecting hologram is protected inside the clear body, ensuring it continues to send out flashes that fish can see from a great distance.

• Detailed Baitfish Profile: The shape and scale patterns are designed to mirror common inshore forage like Mackerel, Mullet, and Sardines. This realistic silhouette is crucial when fishing in clear water where predators have more time to inspect the bait.

• Balanced for Action: The fixed-weight center gives the lure excellent balance. This results in a “Quick Response” action, meaning the lure starts working the second your reel handle turns—vital for short-casting situations around structure.

• Saltwater Grade Ready: Outfitted with heavy-duty power treble hooks and high-quality split rings, this lure is built to handle the corrosive saltwater environment and the aggressive “head-shakes” of hard-fighting inshore species.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: For maximum effectiveness over submerged grass, use a “Twitch-and-Pause” retrieve. The lure will dart erratically to the side on the twitch and slowly float upward on the pause. This upward movement often triggers a strike from fish hiding in the grass who see the bait as an easy, injured target escaping toward the surface
