About this piece
The Smith AR-Spinner Trout Model (4.5g) is a compact spinnerbait designed for trout and stream bass fishing, engineered by bass fishing pioneer Hiroyuki Motoyama after over a decade of development. Its ARS blade delivers instant rotation upon landing, creating strong vibration even in fast currents, and the low-center-of-gravity teardrop body reduces line twist.
Key features
- ARS blade starts spinning immediately on contact with water for rapid attraction
- Teardrop body shape with clearance between body and shaft minimizes line twist
- Rolling swivel shaft design further reduces line twist during retrieve
- Responds to rod twitches, enabling side-to-side slides for short-distance precision
- Equipped with a #10 treble hook and size #3P ARS blade
Best for
- Trout fishing in streams and rivers
- Smallmouth or spotted bass in clear, flowing water
- Pinpoint casting to tight productive zones in current
