SMITH D-CONTACT 63mm 7g

D-CONTACT

Heavy sinking minnow that can be eaten with an inertial slide
D-contact

A heavy sinking minnow that has transformed lure fishing in mountain streams. D-CONTACT is a minnow that realizes “inertial slide” action, and can be said to be the igniter of heavy sinking minnows.

The “D” has a built-in tungsten weight with a specific density of 18, and while securing a weight of 4.5g for 50mm, 7g for 63mm, and 9.5g for 72mm, it has an amazing “distance power” with an ultra-thin body form. ・ It means “deep power” and “direction power”.

Heavy Thinking Minnow Despite being a popular spark, its high degree of perfection is unrivaled and its high support is still unabated.

Features and strength of D-CONTACT

1. Inertial slide that shifts to the slow speed region

This is a world not found in normal floating and sinking minnows. In the case of an existing minnow, repeat the movement → stop → movement → stop with a twitch or the like.

At the time of “stop”, it tries to regain its posture with buoyancy (there is buoyancy to regain its posture even in sinking), it does not move forward, and as a result, it “stops”. Due to its own weight, D-CONTACT twists while trying to regain its posture according to the law of inertia. This is an inertial slide. After that, it shifts to the slow speed area.

In the sequence of motion → inertial slide → motion → inertial slide, the fish is invited by “movement” and recognizes the time in the slow speed region from the slow but moving inertial slide as a bite chance. The same thing can be felt when birds and beasts catch their prey.

2. Does not pop out even with a cross-down twitch

In the style of fishing up the river, the frequency of using downcross / downcast is less than 10%, but there are always some situations where it is necessary. D-CONTACT uses a lot of upstream casts to produce a twisting slide action such as fluttering, dirt, and jerking, and was developed as a minnow for fishing.

However, at that time, the minnow that focuses only on the upstream cast will not feel like a field. Due to its nature, sinking minnow has weaknesses such as reverse lookup, but D-CONTACT has the same potential from up to cross to down. No more hassle to switch to floating when down.

3. Range control is possible

Since it has a considerable weight, the falling speed is fast and you can aim at deep places. It can be used in various ranges depending on the retrieve, how to set the distance between twitches, and the position of the rod tip.

4. You can fly

All types of 50mm, 63mm, and 72mm have a slightly rear fixed center of gravity, so you can get a large flight distance that far exceeds the conventional size lure without blurring. When there is a headwind, you can see how grateful it is for its own weight.

5. Creating appeal

a. Appeal by visual shape change

The thin body and “character” shape are designed to make the target fish aware of major changes with a slight flutter and rolling. When the target fish sees D-CONTACT from below, it looks thin, thin, or weak, but the shape changes completely when rolling, making you aware of the change.

b. Foreign reflected light

Different holograms are attached to the mask and body to give it a presence in the water. Considering both natural attractors for coloring, it is a lineup that emphasizes practicality. For example, TS and TS laser have different reflection efficiencies in water. The same is true for yamame trout and yamame trout lasers.

c. Black ring & hook specifications that make the most of the glitter of the lure

Achromatic black finish except for the body. The hook is a Kaken specification that sticks quickly
