Smith D-Incite 44 is a compact, fast sinking minnow lure with an ultra-thin flat side body, designed for precise fishing in rivers and small streams. It stands out with its strong rolling action combined with sharp, irregular side flashes that effectively trigger strikes even from cautious fish.
Thanks to its short travel distance, the lure stays longer in the strike zone, making it highly effective when targeting small spots such as pockets, seams or undercut banks. During retrieval, it produces noticeable flashes and dynamic movements created by inertial side action, increasing its effectiveness in pressured waters.
The 44 model is a downsized and more precise version of the D-Incite concept, offering a slightly shallower running depth and excellent control during twitching and steady retrieve. Its responsive behavior allows accurate presentation even in tight and demanding locations.
The thin yet durable lip ensures stable performance in various conditions, whether fishing upstream, across the current or downstream. The fixed tungsten weight system improves casting stability and provides consistent control during the retrieve.
Smith D-Incite 44 is designed primarily for trout fishing in rivers, streams and small waters. It performs best when targeting short sections, pockets, seams and other tight areas where precise lure control is essential.
