About this piece
The Smith AR-S Spinner Trout Model 3.5g #12 COBR is a precision-engineered inline spinner developed in collaboration with bass fishing legend Hiroyuki Motoyama. After over a decade of refinement, it delivers instant blade rotation from the moment it hits the water, even in strong currents. Its low-center-of-gravity teardrop body and rolling swivel shaft reduce line twist for smooth, reliable performance.
Key features

- Rolling swivel shaft and body clearance design effectively reduce line twist.
- Low-center-of-gravity teardrop body shape ensures stable, consistent action.
- Responsive to rod twitches, enabling side-to-side sliding strikes at short range.
- #3 ARS blade generates strong vibration to draw aggressive strikes.
Best for
- Trout fishing in streams and rivers.
- Pinpoint casting to productive zones in current.
- Short-distance presentations requiring quick blade startup.
- All-season use in clear to stained water conditions.
