About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 72 is a heavy sinking minnow that leverages its substantial body weight to create an 'inertia slide' effect — a unique action not found in standard floating or sinking minnows. Unlike conventional lures that pause when retrieving stops, the D-Contact continues to twist and glide forward under its own inertia, maintaining motion even at ultra-slow speeds.
Key features
- Heavy sinking minnow design with pronounced inertia slide action
- 72mm body length optimized for controlled slow-roll retrieves
- #13 Wakasagi color pattern for imitating small baitfish
- Constructed to hold posture and slide forward during pauses
Best for
