SMITH MULTIYOUSE TRMK-504UL Spinning Rod

Product highlights

Designed by specialist brand SMITH, the lure fishing rod for mountain rivers Multiyouse TRMK is aimed at demanding anglers seeking precision and stealth. Its design is intended for upstream fishing in mountain rivers, where the ability to place a lure accurately and to control every drift makes the difference. The rod's action and balance enable low, skimming casts that easily pass under vegetation and rock overhangs while maintaining constant contact with the lure.

This SMITH river fishing rod was developed to cover a wide range of situations encountered on torrents, fast-flowing rivers and calmer pools. Whether fishing powerful channels, cluttered margins or slow runs, it provides the responsiveness needed to animate lures effectively and set the hook instantly at the slightest strike.

Technical specifications

• Lure fishing rod specifically engineered for mountain rivers and streams.
• Action optimised to perform precise, low-trajectory casts beneath overhanging obstacles and to present the lure discreetly.
• Balanced design to maintain excellent feel for lure action and bottom contact, even in strong currents.
• Versatile construction compatible with many types of artificial lures: crankbaits, spoons, soft plastics or small jigs.
• Guides suited for modern monofilament or braided lines, offering smooth line flow and precise control of the line tension.
• Ergonomic handle providing a secure and comfortable grip during extended prospecting along riverbanks.
• Compact profile designed to ease movement in rugged terrain and passing under overhanging vegetation.

Advantages and key strengths

The major strength of this SMITH mountain river fishing rod lies in its ability to remain both lively and forgiving. It delivers excellent sensitivity to detect the finest bites while retaining the reserves necessary to control a powerful fish using the current. This combination makes it a great companion for trout and other river species, whether fishing upstream or in controlled drift presentations.

Its versatility is another major asset. With this rod for lure fishing in rivers, you can easily switch between different families of lures without changing equipment. A single outing can thus see you alternate from a diving crankbait to a spinning spoon or a weighted soft plastic, while keeping precision and fishing comfort.

Finally, SMITH's quality of manufacture ensures appreciable durability. Every detail is designed to withstand the constraints of mountain environments: potential knocks against rocks, temperature variations and constant humidity. It is a reliable investment for regular anglers as well as those planning fishing trips at altitude.

Usage tips

To get the most from this mountain river lure fishing rod, adapt lure size and weight to the flow and depth of the sector being fished. For upstream fishing, favour low, sweeping casts in a fan pattern, targeting likely holding areas: margins, eddies, head and tail of currents.

Always keep the line slightly taut to maintain constant contact with the lure and detect the slightest bite. Using discreet leaders and line diameters appropriate to the target species will further improve presentation quality. Also set your reel drag progressively to let the rod work and absorb runs, especially in cluttered environments.

After each session, rinse the rod thoroughly with clean water and let it dry before storage. This will preserve the quality of the guides and the handle over time, and ensure consistent performance season after season.
