Fast-sinking twitching lures for river fishing and deeper water control
Smith D-Contact 63 is a fast-sinking lure designed for effective fishing in rivers, where precise control in the current and the ability to quickly reach deeper zones are essential. The key feature of this model is its unique inertia slide action that occurs after a twitch, significantly increasing strike rates during pauses.
Thanks to a built-in tungsten weight and a slim body profile, the D-Contact 63 delivers excellent casting distance and maintains stable performance even in stronger currents. It can be effectively worked upstream, across the current, or downstream without losing control.
Unlike standard lures, D-Contact does not stop completely during pauses. Instead, it performs a subtle sliding motion and transitions into a slower movement, often triggering strikes by imitating a weakened or escaping prey.
Originally developed for trout fishing in rivers, the D-Contact 63 is also a great choice wherever a fast-sinking, stable, and highly controllable lure is required.
