Description

The Smith D-Contact 85 takes the heavy sinking minnow concept of the original D-CONTACT and scales it up for river sakuramasu fishing. At 85 mm and 14.5 g, its slim, tungsten-weighted body is built for long casts and a strong wobble-and-roll that continues into an inertia-driven glide between actions, luring fish with sustained, deliberate movement.

Its swim balance holds steady across a wide range of currents and retrieve speeds without blowing out to the surface, and depth is controlled through rod angle and retrieve rather than lip size alone, making it a purpose-built tool for working big pools and runs for large migratory trout.

Information

The swimming action

Scaled up for big migratory trout, the D-Contact 85's slim, tungsten-weighted body gives a strong wobble-and-roll that continues into an inertia-driven glide between actions, luring fish with sustained, deliberate movement.

When to throw it

Built for river sakuramasu fishing, it holds its swim balance across a wide range of currents and retrieve speeds without blowing out to the surface, suiting big pools and runs for large migratory trout.

How to work it

Depth is controlled through rod angle and retrieve speed rather than lip size alone, so work it deliberately through the pool and let the glide develop between moves.

The setup it likes

Suits a medium stream rod built for big migratory trout, a 2500-3000 reel, 6-10 lb main line and a fluorocarbon leader around the same strength.
