OVERVIEW
The ZACRAWL YAJIROBEE JR. inherits the spirit of the YAJIROBEE in a compact 65 mm body. When the full-size model is too bulky for the situation, the JR. allows a more delicate approach while keeping the intense surface appeal that made the original famous.
Its sweet crawl sound at mid speeds comes straight from the original, which has captivated countless bass, while a ball weight adds a soft knock with every movement. A high-specific-gravity balance gives it casting distance far ahead of other lures its size and helps it hold on to bites.

PERFORMANCE
ACTION & DESIGN
01
An aluminium wing designed only for the JR.
The JR. has its own aluminium wing, shaped for a high-response action. It works perfectly with high-gear reels, so you can fish it at the pace you prefer.
02
The original's sweet crawl sound
At mid speeds the wing plays the same sweet crawl sound as the full-size YAJIROBEE, and an internal ball weight adds a soft knock during the action, giving fish two reasons to come up.

03
High specific gravity, long casts
The weight balance is set to a high specific gravity. It casts far beyond other lures of the same size and helps the lure firmly capture bites.
04
A more delicate approach
When the full-size YAJIROBEE is too big for the water or the mood of the fish, the JR. delivers the same surface appeal in a smaller profile. A spare original wing (YBJ SPARE WING) is available.

DEVELOPMENT
THE YAJIROBEE SPIRIT
A downsized monster hunter
The original ZACRAWL YAJIROBEE was developed by lure designer R. Nakanishi for Australian Murray cod and tested from the Amazon to European pike waters. Its sweet crawl sound and dead-slow action made it a world standard among noisy wing lures.
The YAJIROBEE JR. condenses that know-how into a 65 mm body with its own aluminium wing and a high-specific-gravity balance, bringing the YAJIROBEE's appeal to situations where a smaller, more delicate lure gets the bite.
