About this piece
The Smith Soles 42S is a compact sinking minnow lure designed for precise depth control and a subtle, drifting S-shaped swimming action. Its 42mm body and 3.8g weight make it ideal for targeting finicky fish in shallow to mid-depth waters.
Key features
- Stabilizer on the head suppresses roll action for stable S-curve swimming.
- Head cup creates lip-like effect for excellent depth-holding without a lip.
- Sinking type with controlled fall rate for countdown depth targeting.
- Maintains near-horizontal swimming posture across a wide range of retrieve speeds.
- Equipped with #14 hooks for a clean, unobtrusive profile.
Best for
- Saltwater and freshwater light game fishing (e.g., mebaru, sea bass, trout).
- Fishing in shallow to mid-depth zones (20cm to 1m) with slow, steady retrieves.
- Situations requiring a subtle, natural-looking presentation with minimal water disturbance.
