Smith D-Contact 50 #14 Ayu

Smith D-Contact 50 #14 Ayu is a heavy-sinking minnow that revolutionized native trout fishing in mountain streams. Its inertia slide action and ultra-thin body, combined with a dense tungsten weight, deliver unmatched distance, depth control, and directional stability.

Key features

• Inertia slide action entices fish with a unique gliding motion after twitches.
• Tungsten weight of density 18 allows long casts and rapid descent to target depths.
• Ultra-thin body profile creates dramatic visual shape changes during wobble and roll.
• Black ring and chemically sharpened hooks maximize flash attraction and hookup.
• Cross/downstream twitching without blowing out ensures versatility in all current angles.

Best for

• Native trout (yamame, iwana) in clear mountain streams and headwaters.
• Heavy-current areas where deep presentation and long casts are essential.
• Anglers seeking a compact, heavy-sinking minnow for precise depth control.
