About this piece
A heavy sinking minnow that compresses a decade of design expertise into a compact, fishable package. The D-Compact 38 from Smith offers a unique body shape with a "へ字" (arch) back and flat sides for enhanced flash, combined with a thin lip that balances sharp swimming action, water grip, and durability.
Key features
- Heavy sinking minnow with fixed tungsten weight for stable casting and quick sinking
- Wobble & Roll action with large wave motion at a 50/50 ratio for strong appeal on straight retrieve
- Short-pitch flash and inertial slide trigger bites even in small action zones
- Hard twitch produces sharp darting to reduce fish refusal
- Optimized water grip and balance prevent surface break-out in shallow or fast current
- Lightweight (2.5 g) with crisp feel for easy action control
Best for
- Trout fishing in streams, rivers, and lakes
- Shallow to mid-depth runs where precise depth control is critical
- Technical presentations with varied rod angles and line tension
