About this piece
The Smith D-Direct 55 is a heavy sinking deep minnow designed to reach unexplored depth zones. Weighing 6g with a fixed center of gravity, it achieves rapid diving to target deep-layer trout. Its inertial slide action, combined with wobble-and-roll and slide-and-dart movements, effectively covers dead zones while offering excellent bottom-contact deflection to avoid flat-side strikes.
