About this piece
The Smith D-Contact is a heavy-sinking minnow designed for mountain stream trout fishing. It utilizes tungsten weights to achieve a compact, heavy body, providing exceptional distance, depth, and directional control. The unique inertia slide action entices trout with a sharp darting turn that transitions into a slow, sliding glide, triggering aggressive strikes.
