SMITH D Contact 72 Minnow

The Smith LTD D-Contact 72  

The Smith LTD D-Contact 72: an essential jerkbait for trout. The very high density of this minnow allows it to evolve where others cannot. On the drop, it flutters by oscillating flank to flank, a deadly action for triggering strikes from holding fish. Moreover, it is silent, which is a real advantage on days when trout are wary.

Tips from our team of enthusiasts

The retrieve

• It is a lure to use with a jerky linear retrieve, i.e. by making small twitches with the rod tip while reeling in.
• This hard lure is also very effective on the drop, so don't hesitate to pause and let it flutter down.

The color

Our trout team's favorite

• The 03 for clear water
• The T4 for murky water

As for color, the starting point will be the environment. The clearer it is, the more you'll use natural colors; the more opaque it is, the more you'll use flashy or dark tones, even going as far as black. In very cold water, a bright yellow like the n°32 can really make a difference. This is a base to adjust day by day.
