    A local outdoors store used to carry a Yo-Zuri topwater bait.  I have no idea what it was called, and I cannot find them anymore.  I havent seen them in over 4 years, so I would guess they are discontinued.  The bait was around 2 3/4 to 3 inches long, cost about $8 and had a single prop on the back.  I have looked for this bait in every store from Seattle WA to Hobbs NM and I would promptly buy every bait and every color should I find them again.  Does anyone know the name of this bait, or ever used it?  Where I'm at, Smallmouth bass would ANNIHILATE this bait beginning around August 1st to around the end of August.  The last one I had was destroyed by a 2 pounder this summer, the back treble was ripped out!  I have yet to find another bait that mimics its action or results.  Any one else have good prop baits they would recommend?

    Did it look like this?

    Also...you could contact their customer service...and maybe at least figure out the model name you are looking for. Once you got the model name...finding a stash of them somewhere on the 'Net will be a whole lot easier

    The Yozuri prop minnow is one of my favorite lures.
