SMITH D-INCITE 64 Sinking Lure - 6.4 cm

Product Benefits

Designed in Japan for targeting salmonids, the SMITH D-INCITE is a sinking hardbait specially developed for trout fishing in lakes and large rivers. Its compact profile and flat sides generate strong vibrations even at low retrieval speeds, enabling it to trigger wary fish or those holding far from shore.

Thanks to its internal weight distribution, this trout lure casts long and accurately, even into the wind. It remains very stable in strong currents, doesn’t tuck into the flow, and maintains a tight, nervous action that perfectly imitates a small fleeing baitfish.

The D-INCITE accepts a wide range of presentations: straight retrieves, sawtooth retrieves, sharp jerks or long pulls. It responds instantly to rod inputs and quickly comes back on line, allowing full control of depth and swimming speed.

Its design tailored to wide open waters makes it an ideal tool for quickly covering large areas while retaining strong selectivity for the biggest trout. Whether fishing from shore or from a boat, its ability to reach distant holding spots significantly increases your odds of contact.

Advantages and Key Features

One of the major strengths of the SMITH D-INCITE is its ability to hold the current while remaining fully controllable. In large rivers or wind-swept lake ends it keeps contact with the line, allowing you to feel every bite and animate the lure precisely.

Its tight action combined with strong stability makes it highly effective on educated fish that have already seen many lures. It tolerates speed variations and changes in banner angle well, allowing you to fish a spot thoroughly without degrading its behaviour.

SMITH build quality ensures neat finishes and excellent longevity. The lure keeps its balance even after many fish, and the paint resists repeated impacts against rocks and river obstacles.

Versatile, this trout hardbait belongs in the boxes of anglers targeting large wild trout as well as those fishing reservoirs or impoundment lakes. It’s an excellent choice to quickly search a wide water surface while keeping strong selectivity for the best specimens.

Thanks to its proven reputation, the SMITH D-INCITE has become a reference for many trout specialists. Its consistency in action and its ability to provoke violent strikes make it indispensable for outings on alpine lakes, large lowland rivers or major dams.

Usage Tips

To get the best from the D-INCITE, use a sensitive rod of light to medium power and a fine but strong line. A low-diameter braid combined with a discreet fluorocarbon leader increases casting distance and sensitivity to the lightest takes.

On lakes, fish the breaks, rocky edges and stream entries. Alternate slow retrieves with sharp accelerations and pauses to mimic a small injured baitfish seeking shelter. In large rivers, focus on back-eddies, current heads and deep holes where big trout hold.

Adapt retrieval speed to water temperature: slower at season starts and ends, faster when fish are active. Vary drift angles by casting three-quarters upstream and three-quarters downstream to present different approaches to the same spot.

The lure can also be used on other opportunistic species such as perch or chub by simply adjusting retrieval speed to their behaviour. In all cases, keep the line tight to detect the slightest take and set the hook effectively.
