About this piece
The Smith D-Contact 50 is a heavy sinking minnow designed for trout stream fishing. Its innovative inertia slide action, driven by a dense tungsten weight, allows the lure to keep moving forward even when paused, enticing wary trout. The compact 50mm size and extreme casting distance make it ideal for targeting native trout in challenging mountain streams.
