About this piece
The Smith Style Area T2 40mm is a specially tuned floating minnow designed for the Magic Jerk technique, which entices trout by quickly sinking the lure below their line of sight, then lifting it upward with line tension. This T2 (Type 2) model adds even more buoyancy and appeal compared to the standard Style Area Tune, making the Magic Jerk method more versatile.
