Smith D-Contact Type-II 50 #38 Orange Yamame Laser

The D-Contact Type II is a specialized center-balanced minnow designed for tough trout conditions. Featuring a heavier weight and unique balance, it delivers a horizontal, wobbling fall that triggers strikes from inactive, wary fish. Discontinued for years and revived in 2025 due to popular demand, it retains the classic "D-Contact Aki" color lineup (excluding #39).

Key features

• Heavier weight and center-balance for horizontal falling action
• Wobbling fall with slow sink rate despite added weight
• Larger, looser movement on twitches to provoke reaction bites
• Equipped with size #12 D-Contact hook
• Based on the proven "D-Contact Aki" series, revived in 2025

Best for

• Low-activity trout in cold water early or late season
• Deep pools and slow-moving water in pressured rivers
• Wary autumn yamame and finicky summer trout
• When conventional approaches fail and a subtle, enticing presentation is needed
