About this piece
The Yamanami A2 Minnow 52S is a versatile sinking minnow designed for native trout fishing from headwaters to midstream. Its low-center-of-gravity body delivers stable wobbling and a momentary horizontal posture on the fall, creating a feeding pause that triggers strikes from both active and lethargic fish. A reinforced lip reduces the risk of breakage while maintaining clean water flow for sharp action.
Key features
- Low-center-of-gravity design with tungsten and stainless steel weight placement
- Reinforced thick lip for durability without sacrificing action
- Sharp body profile from head to tail for clean water shedding

- Quick darting response with controlled slide after the dart
Best for
