SMITH PURE Wobbling Spoon - 9.5 g

Product highlights

The Smith Pure wobbling spoon is a classic of Japanese metal lures, renowned for its ability to provoke strikes from the wariest fish. Its carefully shaped profile produces a smooth, consistent action that perfectly mimics a fleeing forage fish. Whether fishing fast rivers, large streams or deep lakes, this versatile wobbling lure maintains a stable and highly attractive action.

Thanks to its balanced curvature, the Smith Pure springs into action as soon as it hits the water. It performs well at slow retrieves as well as rapid recoveries, allowing precise presentation adjustments to match fish behaviour. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for trout, perch and other freshwater predators, from the season's start through the coldest periods.

Another major advantage is its ability to fish effectively at different depths. By varying cast length and retrieve speed, you can explore surface layers as well as deeper water without losing vibration quality. The neat finishes and robust construction of this spoon ensure excellent durability, even during intensive use in snaggy areas or under heavy strain.

Technical specifications

The Smith Pure belongs to the family of compact wobbling spoons, engineered to deliver maximum lift and vibration within a balanced metal body. Its design optimises casting distance, quick activation and stable swimming action regardless of current conditions.

• Japanese-designed metal wobbling spoon specially studied for freshwater fishing.
• Curved profile producing an attractive vibrating action on both steady and animated retrieves.
• Effective action in rivers, streams and lakes, suited to slow currents as well as stronger flows.
• High-quality finishes that provide intense flash and long-lasting resistance.
• Available in multiple weights and colours to match light conditions and water clarity.
• Dense metal body favouring long, accurate casts even in windy conditions.
• Hooking system engineered to ensure good penetration while minimising unhooks during the fight.

This technical architecture makes the Smith Pure a formidable prospecting lure, capable of quickly covering large water surfaces while remaining fishable over time. It suits both experienced anglers and beginners seeking a simple, effective reference lure.

Advantages and strengths

The primary advantage of the Smith Pure is its ease of use. Simply cast and retrieve at a steady speed to benefit from an already very effective action. This simplicity allows you to focus on reading the water and positioning your drifts while maintaining excellent selectivity for active fish.

Its second strength is high adaptability. By slightly varying retrieve speed, rod angle or cast duration, the same spoon can operate in different water layers—shifting from shallow-edge prospecting to methodical sweeping of deeper holes. This adaptability makes it a versatile lure for on-the-go fishing, notably in mountain streams, medium rivers or large water bodies.

High-quality finishing and the reputation of the Japanese brand SMITH provide a real guarantee of reliability. The Pure withstands repeated impacts on pebbles, near-obstacle passages and repeated battles with large fish. It fits perfectly into a performance-oriented tackle box where each model must be usable season after season.

Finally, the Smith Pure is an excellent teaching tool for learning or refining metal-lure fishing. Its very readable response at the end of the line helps understand the influence of current, retrieve speed and fishing depth, while continuing to catch fish regularly.

Usage tips

To get the best from this Japanese wobbling spoon, start with a simple, steady retrieve with the rod held slightly low to keep constant contact with the lure. Then adjust speed to find the cadence that triggers the most strikes, remembering that fish may prefer either a slow, gliding action or a quicker, tighter retrieve.

In rivers, cast three-quarters upstream or three-quarters downstream depending on the flow, letting the spoon work naturally in the current seam. In lakes or still waters, allow the lure to sink a few seconds before beginning the retrieve to reach the desired depth. Short pauses followed by resumed retrievals often persuade hesitant following fish to commit.

The Smith Pure performs excellently on light to medium-light spinning setups paired with a fine line to optimise casting distance and freedom of action. Match the snap-swivel size and leader discretion to water clarity and fish wariness. Regular maintenance—rinsing the lure after each trip and checking hook condition—will preserve its initial performance for a long time.
