Description

The D-Contact 50 Type II is a 50mm, 5g hard-bodied minnow from Smith with a heavier, centre-balanced build that makes it fall horizontally and wobble as it sinks, rather than dropping tail-first like the standard D-Contact. Despite the extra weight the sink rate isn't faster, and twitches produce noticeably larger movement. It was brought back into production in 2025 after a hiatus, with a colourway line-up based on the original limited-edition "D-Contact Autumn" model.

It is built as a follow-up option for difficult trout conditions: low water temperatures that reduce activity, slack pools left by low water, heavily pressured rivers, and the finicky fish of early autumn.

Information

The swimming action

The heavier, centre-balanced build of the Type II makes it fall horizontally and wobble as it sinks rather than dropping tail-first like the standard D-Contact 50, and twitches produce noticeably larger movement despite a similar sink rate.

When to throw it

Brought back into production in 2025 based on the limited-edition 'D-Contact Autumn' colourways, it's a follow-up option for difficult trout conditions — cold water, slack low-water pools, pressured rivers and the finicky fish of early autumn.

How to work it

Use it as a change-up when the standard D-Contact 50 has been refused; the larger twitch movement and horizontal fall give fish a different look without changing size or line class.

The setup it likes

Suits a light stream rod, a 2000-size reel, 3-5 lb main line and a fluorocarbon leader of similar strength.
