What Is the Flashminnow 125 YAWARA? The Flashminnow 125 YAWARA is a 125mm (5 inch), slow-sinking saltwater minnow, weighing approximately 20g (0.7 oz). It is built on the proven Flashminnow body, but the "YAWARA" designation signifies a new level of soft and controlled swimming motion—a trait especially effective when saltwater predators are inactive or targeting smaller, slower prey.
“YAWARA (やわら)” in Japanese means “gentle,” “soft,” or “flexible.” That concept drives this lure’s performance philosophy: it moves with calm confidence, suspends naturally, and provokes strikes not through aggression—but through realism. This is not a reaction-bait jerkbait. This is a controlled glide minnow, designed for slow retrieves, mid-range swimming, and precise directional control.

The slim, flat-sided profile enhances air-cutting performance, allowing you to reach fish that are feeding far off structure, across surf troughs, or near distant bait schools. This casting power is especially useful when fishing from the shore, where distance equals opportunity.
Where It Excels: Strategic Saltwater Environments The Flashminnow 125 YAWARA isn’t meant for “chuck-and-wind” fishing. It’s designed for anglers who work structure, read current seams, and pick apart key feeding zones with finesse. Here’s where it truly shines: Surf Zone and Open Shorelines Slow-roll just above the sand in the first or second trough, mimicking a wounded baitfish. It’s perfect for targeting halibut, sea bass, and corvina, especially when the water is clear and fish are spooky.
Harbors and Rock Walls Cast along man-made structures or jetty rocks. Use light twitches and long pauses to tempt sea bass, barracuda, or small yellowtail patrolling the edge of shadow lines. Tidal Creeks and Estuaries Deadly for snook, flounder, and sea trout in calmer backwater systems. Glide it through current breaks, channel edges, and near mangroves or oyster bars.
