Smith D-Contact 50 #42 Lime Chart Yamame

A heavy-sinking minnow that revolutionized mountain stream trout fishing with its unique inertia slide action. The D-Contact packs dense tungsten weights into an ultra-thin body, delivering outstanding distance, depth control, and directional precision. Its innovative design triggers strikes where conventional minnows fail.

Key features

• Inertia slide: glides forward after a twitch stop instead of halting like typical minnows
• Reliable action across upstream, cross‑stream, and downstream presentations
• Rapid sinking and effortless depth control via retrieve speed and rod work
• Exceptional casting distance even into headwinds thanks to rear‑biased weight
• Thin body profile alters silhouette dramatically during wobble and roll for visual appeal
• Distinct holographic patterns paired with natural and attractor color options

Best for

• Native trout species such as yamame, iwana, and char in clear mountain streams
• Situations requiring long casts into deep pools or fast currents
• Anglers who prefer a single minnow for all current angles without switching lures
• Stealthy presentations using natural color patterns in heavily pressured waters
