Description

The Smith D-Concept 48MD is a 48 mm, 5 g heavy-sinking medium-deep minnow built around the maker's "Depth, Direction, Distance" concept — the D series' first medium-deep model. A moulded weight and a deliberately small lip give it a clean flight attitude, comfortable casting distance and a reeling depth of around 150 cm in still water on 4 lb line, and it runs with the D-Contact Hook #12.

Twitching brings a sharp flash-roll and inertial slide for strong bites, while lift-and-fall works the lure with a writhing, struggling motion, and it holds a tough, stable balance on the slow retrieve to draw out fish sitting out of reach of an up-current presentation — a flat-side minnow that covers shallow to bottom and up-to-down water alike.

Information

The swimming action

Twitching the D-Concept 48MD brings a sharp flash-roll and inertial slide, lift-and-fall works it with a writhing, struggling motion, and it holds a tough, stable balance through a slow retrieve — a flat-side minnow with more than one gear.

When to throw it

As the D series' first medium-deep model it reaches around 1.5m down in still water on 4lb line, built to cover shallow-to-bottom and up-to-down water where fish sit out of reach of a straightforward up-current presentation.

How to work it

Mix twitches for flash-roll and slide, lift-and-fall for a writhing action, and a slow steady retrieve when a stable, balanced swim is what's needed to draw out sitting fish.

The setup it likes

Suits a light-medium stream rod, a 2000-2500 reel, 4-6 lb main line and a fluorocarbon leader around the same strength.
