Description

The Smith D-Direct 55 is a 55 mm heavy sinking deep minnow weighing 6 g, built with a fixed rear-weighted balance and an oversized lip to punch straight down through deep pools that shallower-running minnows can't reach. Its narrow profile and inertia-driven action produce a tight wobble-and-roll on the retrieve, with a distinctive drifting glide between movements as it settles into the strike zone.

Designed for tracing the dead zones below a metre of depth in big, slow pools, the D-Direct 55 is worked with a quick retrieve after the cast to drive it down fast, then eased through the deep water where larger, wary trout tend to hold.

Information

The swimming action

A fixed rear-weighted balance and an oversized lip let the D-Direct 55 punch straight down through deep pools that shallower-running minnows can't reach, its narrow profile giving a tight wobble-and-roll with a distinctive drifting glide between movements.

When to throw it

Built for tracing the dead zones below a metre of depth in big, slow pools, where larger, wary trout tend to hold out of reach of shallower-diving lures.

How to work it

Retrieve quickly straight after the cast to drive it down fast, then ease off through the deep water where it works best.

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.
