About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 50 is a sinking minnow engineered with a tungsten weight system to deliver exceptional casting distance and fast sinking. Its unique "への字" (Heno-ji) body shape creates tight wobbling, darting, and sliding actions on twitches and jerks, then transitions to an inertia slide at slow retrieve speeds to trigger strikes.
Key features
- Tungsten weight system for long casts and fast sink
- Unique H-shaped body flat creates tight wobble and dart on twitch
- Inertia slide action triggers bites during slow-speed retrieve
- Efficient performance even on reverse retrieve
Best for
- Stream and river fishing for iwana (char) and similar trout species
- Situations requiring a slim, fast-sinking minnow with erratic action
- Anglers who prefer hard twitch-and-pause presentations
