About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 50 is a heavy-sinking minnow that transformed native trout fishing in mountain streams. Its innovative "inertia slide" action and tungsten ballast system enable remarkable distance, depth control, and precise directional movement. Designed for anglers who demand high performance in fast currents.
Key features
- Tungsten-weighted for a dense 4.5g heavy-sinking body that cuts through current
- Ultra-thin profile minimizes water resistance for long casts and deep plunges
- Proprietary inertia slide action triggers reaction strikes from wary trout
- Compact 50mm size perfectly imitates baitfish and aquatic insects
- Durable finishes like G Pink maintain visual appeal after repeated strikes
Best for
- Native trout (yamame, iwana) in clear, fast mountain streams
- Fishing deep pools and runs where light lures can't reach
- Anglers who prefer a sinking minnow for precise depth control
