Product highlights
The SMITH D-S LINE wobbling spoon is a metal lure designed to deliver a particularly stable and natural action. Thanks to its engineered profile, it wobbles noticeably even at very slow retrieval speeds, making it ideal for methodical prospecting of rivers, streams and slow-to-moderate current waters.
For Hiramoto, its designer, balance is at the heart of this spoon. Every detail of the D-S LINE is thought to preserve a reliable trajectory, reduce hook pulls and maintain a convincing presentation, even when the line is held back by the current or fished in a controlled drift.
Technical specifications
This wobbling spoon for trout fishing and small predators stands out with an S-shaped profile raised at the attachment eye. This specific design promotes quick activation from the first turns of the reel and keeps a lively action in the slowest water seams. Its optimized center of gravity offers an excellent compromise between casting distance, accuracy and keeping the intended swimming depth.

- Optimized balance for a slow yet highly attractive action
- Durable metal lure suited to intensive fishing
- Refined finish with internal visual details for easy lure identification
- Designed for slow to moderate currents in rivers and canals
- Available in multiple sizes, weights and color finishes
Advantages and strengths
The D-S LINE was developed to meet the needs of demanding anglers seeking a reliable lure in difficult conditions. Its ability to run cleanly even when retrieved very slowly makes it a major asset to provoke reactions from pressured, wary or inactive fish. Where other spoons lose action or begin to roll, the D-S LINE maintains a smooth, controlled wobble.
Its contrasted action, broader at the rear than at the front, creates flashes and irregular vibrations particularly stimulating to trout, perch and other small predators. This swimming signature triggers reflex strikes from fish holding near the bottom, under branches or at the edge of currents, while allowing precise control of the line.
Usage tips
The SMITH D-S LINE spoon reveals its full potential when worked slowly with the rod held high, accompanying the drift. Alternate phases of steady retrieval with short pauses to let the lure oscillate in place, then resume with a progressive pull. This approach is deadly in riffles, deeper margins and calm lies downstream of obstacles.
Match the spoon size and weight to flow and depth, and choose the most visible finish according to water clarity. It can be used for straight-line fishing, upstream casts or three-quarter upstream retrieves, with light to medium spinning gear. Adjust retrieval speed so the D-S LINE always stays in action without being lifted out of the current.
Testimonials
"Since I started using the D-S LINE, I manage to trigger fish I could no longer get to react with my classic spoons. Its slow, fluid action really makes the difference on wary trout at the start and end of the season."FAQ
