About this piece
The Smith D Contact 50 is a heavy sinking minnow that uses a tungsten weight system to achieve a unique sliding action. The "への字" (he-no-ji) shaped back allows for fluttering and darting movements on twitches, while the fixed weight provides sharp action that transitions smoothly to slow retrieves. This versatile lure also performs well on the retrieve.
