About this piece
The Smith D-Contact is a revolutionary heavy-sinking minnow designed for stream trout fishing. Its tungsten-weighted body delivers exceptional casting distance, depth control, and a unique inertia slide action that triggers strikes in fast-moving water. With a slim, irregular profile and realistic color patterns, it creates a vulnerable, flashing presentation trout find hard to resist.
