About this piece
The Smith D-Direct 55 is a heavy sinking deep minnow designed to reach unexplored depth zones and trigger strikes through an inertial slide action. Weighing 6g, it sinks rapidly while a massive lip forces a quick dive to target deep-layer trout directly.
Key features
- Heavy sinking deep minnow with 6g weight for fast descent
- Large lip creates forced rapid diving to reach deep dead zones
- Combines wobble & roll, slide & dart actions
- Excellent bottom-contact flat-roll avoidance
- Detailed construction similar to the D-Contact series
Best for
- Deep trout fishing in rivers and lakes
- Anglers targeting char (iwana) in deep pools
- Fishing hard-to-reach dead zones with precise depth control
