About this piece
The Smith D-Direct 55 is a heavy sinking deep minnow designed to reach previously untouchable deep zones in large pools and runs. With a 6g self-weight and an oversized lip, it forces a rapid dive to depths beyond 2 meters, then delivers a tight wobbling roll and sliding action to trigger strikes from deep-holding trout.
Key features
- Heavy sinking deep minnow with 6g built-in weight for fast descent
- Oversized lip forces rapid diving, reaching 2m depth in 3m of retrieve
- Inertia slide action between rod movements triggers reaction bites
- Bottom-deflecting lip design avoids snags on rocks and structure
- Silent weight system and unique holographic finish for subtle flash
Best for
- Deep pools and runs over 2m depth in trout streams
- Targeting large, wary trout holding near bottom in slow to moderate current
- Anglers needing to bypass the 'dead zone' above the fish's holding level
