The Yamamoto Hinge Minnow is exactly what you expect from the most premium soft bait brand on earth. THE ultimate rolling minnow. A jointed, or “hinged” tail section allows the Hinge Minnow to roll, even on a straight retrieve which makes it easy for beginners and adds a constant fleeing action any time the bait is moving. Flanges run the length of the shoulders of the Hinge Minnow help slow the bait down, while its laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting creates the perfect rate of roll.
