1. Extremely slow rise allows for longer appeal to fish at targeted depths
The F-Select is a floating minnow designed to drift for as long as possible at your targeted range. By minimizing buoyancy for an extremely slow rise, it can drift longer at your chosen depth. The F-Select's drift is effective when fish ignore surface lures and show no reaction to quickly moving mid-depth lures.
2. Responds instantly to subtle rod movements, creating effective short-travel-distance action
When trying to trigger strikes during a drift, excessive lure movement from twitching can quickly bring the lure back to the angler. The F-Select solves this problem with its water-gripping head and specially beveled back that efficiently converts water resistance into action. This design allows the lure to respond to even the slightest rod movement while minimizing overall travel distance, keeping it in the strike zone longer.
3. Improve your catch by alternating between two sizes
As of 2025, the F-Select lineup includes the 51mm F-Select 51 and the 64mm F-Select 64. Switch between them depending on conditions to increase your encounters with fish.
4. Choose D-Contact when you want to explore streams at a faster pace
While the F-Select is an unparalleled weapon for drift fishing, the D-Contact is recommended when fishing in deeper water or when fish are highly active. It would be no exaggeration to say that D-Contact has been the core of Smith's minnow series and has shaped the modern Japanese stream fishing style.
