SMITH F Select 51 Lure

SMITH F-Select 51 Floating Lure

A technical lure with a controlled swimming action

The SMITH F-Select 51 Floating lure stands out for its specific design, combining a flat head, rounded back and flat sides. This distinctive architecture gives it a unique density and behavior in the water, making it possible to prospect areas that other lures struggle to reach.

Its ability to work effectively along a long current line makes it a strategic choice for reaching distant spots or precisely following an opposite bank.

Effective on retrieve as well as on the drift

Very effective on a classic cast-and-retrieve, it develops a stable and attractive swimming action as soon as it is set in motion. It also accepts more abrupt actions, producing marked flashes of light thanks to its flat sides — a decisive advantage for triggering following trout.

In low water conditions or when facing educated fish, it proves particularly effective for achieving long natural drifts with minimal action. Once its swimming depth is reached, it can work on its own, with a taut line, during its slow rise back up.

A formidable ally for trout fishing in rivers

Designed for anglers seeking precision and control, this model allows you to effectively target:

• Distant current lines
• Difficult-to-access wooded banks
• Wary fish in low water
• Areas requiring a long and controlled drift

Its versatility of action and its ability to move cleanly through the targeted water column make it a reliable choice for fine trout fishing.
