About this piece
The Smith D-Insight53 is an ultra-thin flat-sided heavy sinking minnow designed to trigger strikes with a unique inertial flat-roll action. Its large roll angle and minimal forward movement allow prolonged attraction in a single spot, while high-speed retrieves produce a vibrating swim. Packed with a thin, high-strength new-concept lip, it offers stable casting without fluttering and reaches a deeper tracing range than the D-Contact by about 20 cm.
