About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 50 is a heavy-sinking minnow that pioneered the 'inertia slide' action for mountain stream trout fishing. Its tungsten-weighted ultra-thin body achieves impressive casting distance and depth capability, while the unique slide and twitch action provokes strikes from wary fish. The #13 Wakasagi color pattern provides a natural yet attractive presentation.
