Smith D-Coax 65 are fast sinking lures designed for anglers who need full control over their presentation – especially in demanding conditions where quick depth access and precise lure action make the difference. With a compact 65 mm body and a relatively heavy 8.4 g weight, they deliver long, accurate casts even in challenging spots.
The key feature is a tungsten sliding weight system. During the cast, the weight shifts to the tail section, stabilizing the flight and increasing casting distance. Once the lure hits the water, it returns to the center, ensuring a balanced, horizontal swimming position and precise control at the desired depth.
The flat sides and ultra-flat belly create strong flash and a controlled sink rate. Instead of dropping aggressively, the lure maintains a more natural fall, producing subtle side slides and flashes that effectively trigger predatory fish – even with minimal input.
Smith D-Coax 65 lures are ideal for twitching, short jerks, and controlled sinking presentations. They are particularly effective for trout fishing in rivers, but also perform well when targeting perch, zander, and pike in both moving and still waters.
