Product highlights

Advantages and key strengths
The main strength of the Cherry Blood SR90 Type 2 lies in its ability to remain effective where many minnows lose action or attractiveness. Its specific internal balancing allows it to maintain a steady swim even when current intensifies or retrieve speed varies. This stability results in better lure control and therefore more precise area prospecting.
Thanks to its optimized bill, this model benefits from excellent aerodynamics. Casts gain distance and accuracy, allowing you to reach distant holds, inaccessible banks or difficult water channels. This capacity to cover more water significantly increases the chances of encountering active fish.
The Cherry Blood SR90 Type 2 also excels in slow fishing. Its action activates at low speed, making it ideal for enticing educated or reluctant fish. Alternating pauses, varied jerks and steady retrieves is enough to make the most of its potential. The angler thus has a versatile lure capable of adapting to many situations without changing rigging.
Usage tips
To get the most out of this SMITH minnow, adopt a progressive approach. Start with a steady retrieve at moderate speed to get a feel for the action and sense the rolling through the rod. Once comfortable, introduce pauses and accelerations to simulate an injured or fleeing fish, which often triggers reflex strikes.
In rivers, position yourself slightly upstream and cast across the current to let the lure work naturally. Its current-holding ability allows controlled drift and to pass the Cherry Blood close to cover. In stillwaters or calm zones, favor slower animations with stop-and-go to give following fish time to decide.
This lure integrates easily into different approaches: straight retrieves, bank prospecting, animations over obstacles or weeds, etc. Pair it with a balanced outfit and a leader suited to the targeted predators to fully enjoy its performance.
