Product Information
Full details
The Yo Zuri Mag Speed is designed for dedicated saltwater anglers who need a reliable, high-performance sinking minnow to target aggressive predators throughout the entire water column. Its primary benefit is the combination of a significant 45-gram casting weight and an internal rattling mechanism that effectively mimics distressed baitfish to trigger strikes from deep-water species; however, due to its dense weight and fast-sinking rate, it is best suited for experienced anglers familiar with maintaining depth control in current-heavy environments.

FAQs
What is the primary target species for this lure?
The Mag Speed is versatile but is primarily used for targeting saltwater predators like Striped Bass, Tuna, Snook, and various Jacks.
Can I use this lure in freshwater?
While designed for saltwater, the lure can be used in large freshwater lakes for aggressive species like Muskie or Northern Pike, though saltwater maintenance routines should still be followed.
Does this lure float?
No, the Yo Zuri Mag Speed is a heavy sinking minnow designed specifically to get down to the fish quickly.
What is the best retrieval speed?
A fast, erratic retrieve typically triggers the most strikes, but it can also be worked with a slow, steady retrieve if the fish are lethargic.
Is the lure pre-rigged with hooks?
Yes, the product comes equipped with heavy-duty saltwater-grade treble hooks ready for immediate use.
Troubleshooting
Lure is catching on the bottom too frequently
Begin your retrieve sooner after the lure hits the water or use a faster reel speed to keep the lure higher in the water column.
Rattles appear muted or dull
Ensure the internal chambers are clear of debris; a quick rinse in fresh water can often clear internal buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent casting distance even in windy conditions
- Durable build quality suitable for saltwater environments
- Effective rattling mechanism for increased fish attraction
- Versatile sinking action covers multiple depth zones
Cons
- Fast sink rate can lead to snags in shallow or rocky structure
- Requires faster retrieve speeds to maintain specific depths
- Heavier weight may lead to fatigue during all-day casting sessions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, pair the Yo Zuri Mag Speed with a medium-heavy or heavy-action spinning or baitcasting rod rated for at least 1-3 ounces. Using braided line (30-50lb test) with a heavy fluorocarbon leader is recommended to ensure minimal stretch for better hook sets.
Maintenance:
- Rinse Thoroughly: Always rinse the lure with fresh water immediately after saltwater use to remove salt crystals.
- Dry Completely: Store the lure in a ventilated box after it is fully dry to prevent hook corrosion.
- Inspect Hooks: Regularly check the sharpness of the hooks and replace them if they show signs of pitting or rust.
