Gary Yamamoto Hinge Minnow 5" — Jointed Perfection in a More Versatile Size
The Gary Yamamoto Hinge Minnow 5" brings the same deadly jointed action as its bigger sibling in a slightly more compact package — making it the go-to choice when bass are keying on medium-sized forage or when you need a bait that can do double duty across a wider range of conditions and presentations.
The two-piece hinged body produces a fluid, natural S-curve swimming motion that single-piece swimbaits simply can't match. Every twitch, pause, and slow roll sends the tail section kicking in a lifelike, wounded baitfish action that triggers strikes from bass that have seen everything else.

How to Fish It
Slow-roll it on a belly-weighted hook along grass edges, laydowns, and points. Let it sink on a slack line around shallow cover for a dying baitfish presentation that big bass can't resist. Pair it with an underspin for open-water suspended fish or burn it just under the surface during low-light feeding windows. The 5" size is especially effective when fish are a little more finicky and a slightly smaller profile makes the difference.
Jointed. Natural. Irresistible. The Gary Yamamoto Hinge Minnow 5" is the swimbait that earns its place in your box every single trip out.
