Smith D-Contact 85 lures are fast sinking heavy minnows designed for aggressive fishing of large salmonids in strong river current. With a length of 85 mm and a weight of 14.5 g, they deliver long, accurate casts and quickly reach the strike zone.
The slim body combined with a fixed, silent tungsten weight provides excellent casting distance and stability in flight. In the water, the lure maintains balance even in powerful current, preventing it from breaking the surface and allowing precise control of depth and presentation.
D-Contact 85 offers a wide range of actions – from tight wobbling and rolling to sharp darting and flashing under twitching, as well as a sliding swim action when jerked. A unique inertial slide effect occurs between movements, triggering strikes from even cautious fish.
The Smith D-Contact 85 series is designed for targeting trout, sea trout, salmon and other powerful predators in larger rivers. It is an ideal choice for anglers who demand maximum casting distance, control and effectiveness in challenging conditions.
