The success of fishing largely depends on the chosen bait, every fisherman knows this. This is especially true for spinning fishing, where the appearance of an artificial fish and its behavior in the water can attract a predator or, conversely, alert and even scare away.
That is why wobblers predominate in the arsenals of spinning anglers - the most accurate copies of small fish of one type or another.
Today, the most popular products are the products of the Duel company, which produces fishing products under the Yo-Zuri brand.
A few words about the brand
Duel is a Japanese company that develops and produces high-quality tackle and lures.
These are innovative fishing products known all over the world. Fishermen from many countries have already appreciated the performance of Yo-Zuri wobblers, which are superior to their closest competitors in almost all respects. These include the unique geometry of baits, developed using computer technology, balance, external resemblance to the objects of a predator’s hunt, additional acoustics, the detecting properties of vanadium hooks and much more.

As they say, there is something for every taste, body of water and predator.
General characteristics
Yuzuri wobblers have several series , each of which is developed using computer modeling. The lures are perfectly balanced and have a unique shape and action. They are suitable for both fresh rivers and lakes and salt water reservoirs.
of Yo-Zuri wobblers include:
- Plastic models with holographic 3D coating have high reflective properties.
- Sharp, high-quality hooks are made of vanadium. Their stings are chemically sharpened, so no predator will fall off such a hook.
- The silencing blade of the wobblers is thickened and has high strength. This avoids blade breakage during hooking and increases maximum loads during biting.
- Most models imitate a small fish, which is the best way to attract a predator.
- The color range of Yuzuri lures is very diverse, which allows you to choose a model that matches the color for certain conditions.
- Each wobbler is equipped with a small faceted weight. When it moves inside the bait, during wiring, noises are created that are attractive to predatory fish.

Thanks to all these qualities, wobblers from the Japanese manufacturer Duel have become widely known and popular among anglers all over the world.
Features of Yo-Zuri wobblers
In appearance, the bait is no different from similar products from other manufacturers, so many beginners prefer to buy cheaper Chinese analogues. However, in practice it turns out that they do not catch anything at all or catch it extremely poorly. Over time, the understanding comes that you have to pay for quality. So the first Yo-Zuri wobbler appears in the box, then the second, and by the end of the season there is already a whole family of them. How are they better than similar budget products? There are more than enough advantages. Let's list the main ones:
Material. Lures are made from special high-quality plastic, which ensures durability, good flight characteristics, and most importantly, attractive play.- Holographic coating. Gives the bait a natural quality that helps deceive the predator. In addition, the products are coated with several layers of paint, which significantly increases their durability.
- Balance. Wobblers are equipped with a special system that allows you to throw them not only far, but also very accurately.
- Hooks. Made of vanadium - a plastic and at the same time sufficiently durable metal that is resistant to corrosion. After chemical sharpening, they are able to withstand any physical impact, including the active resistance of large predatory fish.
- Diversity. The choice of shapes, sizes and colors allows you to select an effective option for specific fishing conditions.
- Optimal price/quality ratio. Considering the fact that Yo-Zuri wobblers serve their owner for a long time and regularly, their cost cannot be called high.
Wobblers YO-ZURI
When talking about this Japanese import, it is worth noting: the shape, color and play of each model are initially designed in a special program. Here the brand has the palm. The same goes for selecting the type of plastic. And, of course, in realism.
Another benefit of the second “incarnation” of DUEL is the widest choice of colors and different noise chambers (there are different numbers of sound balls inside). And yet we agree: the described Japanese product is in some ways inferior to the masters in the manufacture of wobblers (Megablass, Zipbates, Evergreen). But the cost for the Japanese is much more affordable. In fact, it is available to any of our lovers to go after a predator. In terms of catchability in the fishing process, Japanese bait sometimes gives a head start to the bells and whistles of the listed companies. Here we will talk about 3 specific classes of the brand.
3D POPPER
Yuzuri wobblers have achieved perfection in this series. The named bait is the most famous Japanese topwater in the Russian Federation. Most Russian spinning enthusiasts have it. During the 3D test, Popper repeatedly confirmed his worth, fishing for perches of various sizes and pikes. Less commonly, it attracts asp and fat chub.
As you know, any popper is a thing with indentations in the front part that produce squelching sounds during play. The classic version of the named modification is available in only one size - 6 cm. With a weight of 7 grams. For shallow water this is an ideal miscalculation. Moreover, it is optimally balanced, which makes it fantastically stable at the time of posting.
Produced exclusively in a floating version. But let us separately note the 65F model. It is already 50 mm longer and is known for its progressive loading system (the ability to go deeper). And in the end a more seductive game. This product is designed for a fearless predator and high-speed fishing in spacious, untested water areas. That is, he is ready for the unexpected.
MINNOW
Another product under the YO-ZURI brand became the first of those that our compatriots, spinners, adapted for chub hunting. During the period of such tests, it has not lost its attractiveness for this representative of the ichthyofauna and continues to delight “fishers” with stable catches of other fish.
The classic type is stamped in three sizes - 33, 44 and 66 millimeters. All its varieties are designed to sink. This is why they have amazing range. The cunning little things behave stably in the current, never losing their play. Medium-frequency activity with a small range of motion will allow you to catch active and even less motivated game. In general, any fish that is ready to attack a “gadget” that comes into its field of vision.
ALIE MAGNET
Specifically for trolling, the Yuzuri wobbler is more suitable than others. For example, this family has the ability to attract a predator in the most incredible situations. Agile pike, impatient perch, mistrustful pike perch and even cunning asp have fallen victim to the baits of this model range. Chub, trout and lenok were caught more than once. The most popular series of the presented family are:
- F;
- Neo;
- WITH;
- M G Diet;
- 3G Minnow;
- Dee B.
This Yuzuri wobbler is for trolling and nothing else. It is well-balanced, stable on the fly, flies far, and most importantly, accurately. Different dimensions allow you to choose a model for potential circumstances or the specific size of the predator. Issues in original and catchy color concepts.
Wobblers Yo-Zuri for trolling
Fishing by trolling is carried out at medium and deep depths, so you need to choose a bait taking into account its submersibility. Typically, trolling wobblers are labeled DD, DR and SDR (high depth), as well as EDR (maximum depth). There are not many deep-sea wobblers among the Duel company's products. There are only a few models that show the best results in this type of fishing. This:
Crystal Minnow DD – clearly visible even in muddy water, plays stable, does not go into a tailspin, works effectively against pike perch;- 3D Crank is a wobbler-diver that dives to a depth of 4 meters and lures a variety of predators out of their hiding places;
- Dino Crank F724 – outwardly practically indistinguishable from a live fish, provokes a predator from a great distance due to strong vibration, maximum working depth is 2.5 meters.
Advantages and features of these wobblers
Wobblers "Yuzuri" deservedly enjoy respect. There are many reasons to consider Yo Zuri fishing wobblers one of the best in the business:
- All models are based on reliable plastic. The material is able to accurately imitate the play of a fish, provides long casting and stable retrieve. In practice, such baits last many times longer than models made from conventional silicone;
- All surface and deep-water wobblers "Yuzuri" are equipped with vanadium tees. They easily pierce the fish's lip and prevent the prey from escaping. Separately, it is worth noting the reliable fastening of the hooks;

Computer graphics is the advantage of this wobbler
- It is based on holographic coloring, which provides a three-dimensional, realistic drawing. Without a thorough examination, even a person cannot always determine whether a fish is live or an imitation. Duel&Yo Zuri wobblers are painted in several layers to achieve realism, and such a system also reduces wear on the bait;
- The Yuzuri sinking wobblers have an interesting loading system - several tungsten balls. Thanks to the force of magnetism, when casting, the weight transfers to the tail, preventing the bait's head from changing its trajectory. In practice, this means +10-15% to the casting distance;
- all sinking, deep-sea wobblers are completely identical to the same models. High-precision manufacturing technology prevents the appearance of defects or differences between lures of the same model and color. This gives the fisherman a guarantee that he will not come across defective, ineffective bait.
- Wobblers Yo Zuri S are presented in a wide range. There are models for successfully catching different types of fish in certain conditions.

What is this
Yo-Zuri Minnow wobblers are one of the best baits. These baits are used to catch large and predatory fish using a spinning device. The main characteristics of wobblers include body shape, depth, degree of buoyancy, oscillation frequency, noise chamber, color, long-distance casting system. Such baits require the fisherman to have certain skills and experience, as well as excellent knowledge of the reservoir. When choosing a wobbler, you need to take into account three main points: the color of the water, the speed of the current and the depth.
If the water is cloudy and the pond is deep, give preference to bright wobblers. Slow-moving baits are suitable for pike, elongated ones for pike perch, and small ones for perch. A distinctive feature of the Minnow class of wobblers is the elongated body of the bait and the lack of play on a uniform retrieve. You need to fish with such baits using the “twitching” technique, which involves pauses and jerks in the process. With the help of twitching you can attract any passive fish. Most often, Minnow wobblers are used in shallow water, up to one and a half meters deep. In this case, it is better to choose a bait of neutral buoyancy.
Price
The Yo-Zuri wobbler cannot be classified as a budget accessory. Japanese quality, beautiful and neat appearance, a large selection of models, sizes, colors of lures - all this affects the cost of fishing equipment of the Yuzuri brand. The most inexpensive wobblers cost about 300 rubles apiece. There are models that are more expensive. The average price range is 550 rubles.
