D-contact

Heavy sinking minnow
D-contact with inertia slide

A heavy sinking minnow that completely changed mountain stream lure fishing. D-CONTACT is a minnow that realizes "inertia slide" action, and it can be said that it is the spark of heavy sinking minnow.

The "D" is a built-in tungsten weight with a specific gravity of 18. The 50mm has a weight of 4.5g, the 63mm has a weight of 7g, and the 72mm has a weight of 9.5g.・It means “deep power” and “direction power”.

Although it is the spark that sparked the popularity of heavy sinking minnows, its high degree of perfection is unrivaled, and even now its high support is undiminished.

D-CONTACT features and potential

1. Inertia slide that shifts to the slow speed area

This is a world that is not found in normal floating and sinking minnows. In the case of existing minnows, it repeats movement → stop → movement → stop with a twitch. At the time of "stop", buoyancy (even thinking has the buoyancy to restore posture) tries to restore posture, does not move forward, and as a result "stops". Due to its own weight, D-CONTACT twists while trying to restore its posture by the law of inertia. This is an inertial slide. After that, it shifts to the slow speed area.

In the continuation of motion → inertia slide → motion → inertia slide, fish are lured by "motion", and recognize the time from the slow but moving inertia slide to the slow speed area as a bite chance. The same thing can be felt when birds and beasts catch their prey.

2.

In the style of fishing up a river that does not jump out even with a cross down twitch, down cross down cast is used less than 10%, but there are always situations where it is necessary in some places . . D-CONTACT has been developed as a minnow for fishing, making extensive use of upstream casting, producing a twisting slide action by twitching, dirt, and jerking. However, at that time, minnows that focus only on upstream casting will not feel the field. The sinking minnow has weaknesses such as reverse twitch due to its nature, but D-CONTACT's potential is unchanged from up, cross, down. No more hassle of switching to floating when downed.

3. Range control

is possible Because of its own weight, the falling speed is fast and you can aim at deep water. It can be used in various ranges depending on the retrieve, the distance between twitches and the position of the rod tip, etc.

4.Flying 50mm, 63mm, and 72mm types have a slightly rear fixed center of

gravity, so you can get a long flight distance that far surpasses conventional size lures without shaking. At the time of the headwind, you can see the appreciation of its own weight.

5. Build in appealing power

a. Appealing by visual shape change

The thin body and """ shape are designed to make the target fish aware of a big change with slight gills and rolling. When the target fish looks at the D-CONTACT from below, it looks thin, thin, or weak, but the shape changes completely during flattering and rolling, making you aware of the change.

b. Heterogeneous Reflected Light

Different holograms are placed on the mask and body to give it a presence in the water. Considering both natural and attractor coloring, it is a lineup that emphasizes practicality. For example, TS and TS lasers have different reflection efficiencies in water. So are yamame trout and trout lasers.

c. Black ring and hook specifications that make the most of the lure's sparkle

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