Yamamoto Dagger Minnow

Created to sit between finesse presentation and high-gear reaction baits, the Yamamoto 4.75” Dagger Minnow shifts between a subtle sway and a sharp, high-pitch roll to entice bass in any mood. Tucker Smith’s design uses a symmetrical profile and a heavily salted belly to deliver a smooth, gliding sway and a natural rocking action on slow retrieves. When fish become wary, a series of quick twitches kicks the bait into an aggressive roll, blurring its silhouette into a frantic, attention-grabbing flash. Small raised bulbs on the tail produce a fine flutter that provides realistic secondary movement trailing the body. Constructed from a tougher plastic blend that boosts durability while preserving Yamamoto’s characteristic heavy salt load, the Dagger Minnow holds its ideal balance of longevity and life-like action cast after cast. When other minnow offerings fail to provoke strikes, the Dagger Minnow presents a distinct profile and motion that consistently generates bites.
