Sinking Lure SMITH CHERRY BLOOD LL 90 S SALTWATER - 9 cm

Product highlights

Designed for demanding anglers, the saltwater fishing lure Smith Cherry Blood LLS stands out for its ability to trigger strikes when fish are wary and focused on small prey. Its slim profile and detailed finish faithfully reproduce the silhouette and flashes of small forage fish. Thanks to this imitation of smelt and sprat, it becomes a natural target for predators hunting near the surface or in mid-water, particularly in shallow areas or when the tide is low and fish are hard to fool.

The swimming action of the Smith Cherry Blood LLS lure is particularly effective on a slow retrieve. A subtle presentation, punctuated with small twitches and pauses, allows it to roll from side to side on the fall and provoke reflex strikes. Its calculated density gives it excellent stability in current, making it a relevant choice for working current seams, rock heads or edges where fish wait for food to pass by.

Technical specifications

• Hard bait specially designed for coastal saltwater fishing and shallow areas.
• Elongated profile resembling small forage fish such as smelt and sprat.
• Engineered density for controlled sinking to quickly reach the fish activity zone.
• Tight swimming action and noticeable oscillations during a slow, irregular retrieve, with light twitches and stop-and-go pauses.
• Capable of long, accurate casts, ideal for prospecting wide sectors from shore or boat.
• Equipped with strong, sharp treble hooks suited to marine predatory fish.
• Careful finish for a realistic presentation, effective even in clear water or high fishing pressure conditions.

Advantages and strengths

This lure stands out primarily for its realism and ease of use. Its ability to imitate a small injured or isolated fish—hesitant and wobbling in the water column—perfectly matches the natural behaviour of the prey targeted by predators. Even when the retrieve is slowed significantly, the lure continues to work and emit attractive visual signals, which helps trigger strikes from lethargic or heavily pressured fish.

Another major advantage is its capacity to cover ground quickly without losing effectiveness. Thanks to its casting range and holding power in current, it becomes an excellent prospecting tool for beaches, estuaries, breakwaters or rocky areas. Whether you fish by spotting surface activity or target fish close to the bottom, this saltwater lure offers great versatility and fits easily into the boxes of regular and occasional anglers alike.

Usage tips

To get the most from this lure, favour a slow, irregular retrieve. After casting, allow it to sink while managing the line, then start a retrieve punctuated by small rod-tip twitches and pauses of varying length. These stops let the lure roll side to side on the fall, imitating a wounded fish losing balance, which often triggers the most decisive strikes.

Don't hesitate to exploit current seams, depth breaks and areas where the tide leaves deeper gutters or channels. By passing the lure across the current, you enhance its irregular swimming and increase your chances of intercepting a posted fish. A spinning rod with power suited to saltwater fishing, paired with a fine braided line and a fluorocarbon leader, will allow you to fully benefit from its casting ability and sensitivity to animation.
