About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 50 is a heavy sinking minnow designed for trout, featuring a tungsten weight with a specific gravity of 18 for exceptional distance, depth, and directional control. Its ultra-thin body and unique inertial slide action create a subtle, gliding movement that triggers strikes during the transition from fast to slow motion. This lure excels in upstream, cross-stream, and downstream presentations without popping out on the twitch.
Key features
- Tungsten internal weight (specific gravity 18) for extreme casting distance
- Inertial slide action: lure glides and twists on the pause instead of stopping
