Floating Lure SMITH SARUNA 125 - 12.5 cm

Product highlights

Designed by a brand trusted by specialists, the SMITH Saruna plug is a technical minnow aimed at demanding anglers. Thanks to its slender profile and optimized internal balance, this predator fishing lure delivers a natural, steady swim that perfectly imitates a fleeing baitfish. It is easy to operate with a simple retrieve, making it accessible to beginners, while experienced anglers can develop more complex animations to provoke the most difficult strikes.

The SMITH Saruna lure stands out for its ability to keep a stable trajectory, even in windy conditions or when the sea is building. It retains its line and stays true, allowing you to cover long distances and reach feeding zones located offshore or beyond the waves. Its careful design makes it a reliable ally for any fishing session where casting precision and consistent swimming action make the difference.

Technical specifications

• Optimized swim for a linear retrieve at steady speed, with pronounced rolling and wobbling that trigger predator aggression.
• Small functional dorsal fin that stabilizes the trajectory during casts and while swimming, limiting unwanted spins or deviations.
• Lowered center of gravity thanks to a large mobile tungsten ball inside the body, ensuring excellent casting inertia and greater range.
• Mass transfer system that projects the Saruna plug far ahead while maintaining high accuracy, even in headwinds or crosswinds.
• Slim minnow silhouette imitating an elongated baitfish, highly effective on wary predators in both sea and freshwater.
• Designed for casting from shore or boat, suitable for both spinning and baitcasting to quickly prospect wide areas.

Advantages and key features

The main advantage of the SMITH Saruna lure lies in the combination of long casting distance and perfect stability in flight. Where other plugs lose control or start to roll, the Saruna stays straight and flies toward the targeted zone. This ability to cut through wind and maintain a straight trajectory allows access to spots often unreachable with more conventional lures.

In the water, the Saruna plug distinguishes itself by a lively, consistent swim that responds instantly to the slightest rod-tip movement. A simple linear retrieve is enough to give it an attractive action, while short pauses and jerks make it even more irresistible. This versatility allows you to adapt the animation to the fish's activity level: fast retrieve to trigger reaction bites, slower retrieve with pauses when predators are picky.

Another major asset is its capacity to remain effective in varied conditions. Whether in shallow zones, wave-swept beaches, estuaries or freshwater banks, the Saruna enables efficient prospecting of different water depths simply by adjusting retrieve speed. It is therefore a versatile predator lure that fits many strategies.

Usage tips

To get the most from this minnow-style plug, start with a medium-speed linear retrieve, rod tip slightly lowered, to feel the lure's steady swim. When fish follow without striking, add one- to two-second pauses, then resume retrieval with a slight acceleration: this contrast often triggers the strike.

Short, sharp jerks delivered with the wrist make the SMITH Saruna lure dart erratically, simulating an injured fish. Vary the cadence and intensity of these twitches to find the rhythm that best suits current conditions. It's also wise to adapt retrieve speed to water temperature and fish activity: slower in cold water, faster when predators are actively hunting.

Available in several color variations within the range, this plug fits easily into a lure box dedicated to prospecting coastal marks, estuaries or large freshwater areas. Use it primarily over current seams, rock heads, pronounced edges and drop-offs where its casting range and stability will make the difference.
