Smith D-Contact Type-II 50 #37 Orange Kin Yamame

The D-Contact Type II is a center-balanced, heavy sinking minnow that achieves a horizontal fall with a subtle wobble. Unlike the standard D-Contact, its added weight and balance shift produce a larger twitching action, triggering strikes from inactive trout in tough conditions. Ideal for deep pools, high water temperatures, and heavily pressured fish.
