Smith Cherry Blood MD90F is a specialized minnow designed for fishing in main river currents, where casting precision, stability and lure control are critical. Built on the experience gained from the DD-Panish series, this model has been refined to meet the demands of modern salmonid fishing in challenging river conditions.
Thanks to its aerodynamic body design and a well-balanced center-of-gravity shifting system, the lure delivers both long casting distance and excellent accuracy. Its stable flight position allows anglers to hit precise targets even in wide rivers, where a slight deviation can significantly affect the lure’s drift and presentation.
During retrieve, Cherry Blood MD90F maintains excellent stability in strong current, producing a tight and responsive rolling action. At the same time, the lure offers a light pulling resistance, making it easier to control and allowing comfortable fishing over long sessions. Its strong water grip ensures that even subtle movements are transmitted clearly through the rod.
This model also stands out with its ability to create irregular action. When twitching or jerking, the internal weight briefly shifts toward the rear, causing a momentary loss of balance that triggers reaction strikes. As soon as line tension is restored, the lure instantly returns to its stable rolling action.
The Cherry Blood MD90F series is primarily designed for targeting salmon, sea trout and large trout in rivers, but it can also be effectively used for other predatory fish. It is an excellent choice for covering deeper sections and areas with varying current intensity.
