About this piece
Smith Still Area T2 is a floating minnow tuned for the "Magic Jerk" technique, designed to trigger strikes from trout by rapidly diving below their line of sight and then rising vertically. The T2 variant increases buoyancy over the original Area Tune model, enhancing appeal and floating speed for higher water temperatures and active fish.
Key features
- Lightweight construction with reduced belly hardware and weight ball
- Equipped with a fine-wire Vanfook SP-11F #10 hook and #00 split rings
- Buoyancy increased for faster rise and undulating side-to-side motion during pauses
- Eye sticker and body logo removed to focus strikes on the tail hook
- Designed for use with PE or ester line for bite detection in stained water
Best for
- Targeting rainbow trout and other salmonids in ponds and lakes
- Magic Jerk fishing in warm water conditions or high fish activity
- Clear to moderately stained water where sight fishing is possible
