The Pro's:
There is a lot of hype about swimbaits these days and Yum decided to jump on the bandwagon and make there own swimbait, the Yum Money Minnow. The Yum Money Minnow is a very light weight salt impregnated plastic lure. It has very nice holographic eyes and has great tail action when retrieved. When hooked up correctly it is a far and accurate caster.
The Con's:
The Yum Money Minnow does not catch you money, In fact it takes your money. At a very steep $8-$10 range you can have five of these. They rip and tear easily, the shank weighted hooks that you need to use cannot be found easily, unless they are purchased online. They are so light weight that if you don't use an additional bullet or tungsten weight you will never cast it anywhere and you will be stuck with a topwater swimbait.
Is it a good buy?
Put your money away, I wish I did. This is a horrible buy and I firmly believe that once the swimbait hype is over with you will find these laying at the bottom of a bargain bin.

You do not have to use the YUM hooks designed for these baits. You can use any of the dozens of swimbait hooks out there from Mustad, Davis, Gamakatsu, Owner, Lake Fork Tackle, Falcon, etc. There are also special weight systems for these baits from KSH.
Lots of rigging options make these baits fun to fish and they do catch fish when, like any other bait, they are fished correctly at the right place/time.
This is the worst thing I've ever used the first time I put a hook in one it ripped in half. I will Never buy this junk again.
