Floating Lure SMITH CHERRY BLOOD DEEP 90 - 9 cm

Product highlights

The SMITH CHERRY BLOOD DEEP is a diving minnow designed to expand the famous CHERRY BLOOD family by reaching deeper predator holding zones. Thanks to its specially designed lip and careful balance, this hard bait descends quickly to the desired water layer while maintaining a lively, natural action. It is ideal for anglers who want to target fish holding offshore, on drop-offs or above submerged obstacles.

Versatile and easy to use, this SMITH lure suits both experienced anglers and beginners who want a reliable model for freshwater predator fishing. Its tight, vibrating action triggers strikes from perch, pike, zander and other predators even when fish are inactive. Japanese manufacturing quality ensures long life and refined finishes, with realistic details that enhance imitation effect.

Advantages and key strengths

The main strength of the CHERRY BLOOD DEEP is its ability to quickly reach deeper zones while remaining extremely easy to handle. Where other lures lose effectiveness at depth, this model keeps a fluid action, with attractive rolling and wobbling that entice wary predators. Its versatility allows rapid coverage of large water surfaces and exploration of different strike heights simply by varying retrieve speed and rod angle.

The CHERRY BLOOD range is known for excellent line-holding, remarkable stability and reliable components. The SMITH CHERRY BLOOD DEEP retains these qualities while offering a deeper profile, making it an excellent complement to a box already stocked with surface or mid-depth minnows. Realistic finishes, 3D eyes and internal weight distribution all contribute to the lure's attractiveness in both clear and slightly stained water.

This model naturally fits many situations: deep shoreline fishing, exploring plateau drop-offs, prospecting holes or stronger current zones. It can be used for quick searching or for focusing on precise spots, making it a versatile lure for pike, perch and zander.

Usage tips

To get the most from the SMITH CHERRY BLOOD DEEP, pair it with a medium-power spinning or casting rod, a smooth reel and a line suited to the target fish size. A steady retrieve punctuated with short pauses often triggers strikes, especially when predators follow without committing. By stopping briefly, the lure changes rhythm and becomes an easy target that provokes an attack.

In rivers or canals, work it across or slightly downstream of the current so the water pressure on the lip increases vibrations. In lakes or reservoirs, use it to sweep ledges, rockheads and areas near deep weedlines. Regularly vary retrieve speed and animations (twitches, sharper pulls, stop-and-go) to find what works best during your session.

This diving minnow for predators can be used with leader material suitable for pike teeth when those species are present to protect the lure and secure the fight. Regular maintenance of hooks (sharpening, replacement if needed) will preserve a high hookup rate.
