Field Notes

This is a limited-edition surface bait meant to be fished like a traditional Smity Bait, with the option to collect it as a numbered/signed piece. Use it over open water or along weed edges when fish are willing to strike from the top. The jointed and jerk versions suggest a walk-and-pause or twitching retrieve to trigger reaction bites.

Pros

  • Limited edition, numbered and signed
  • Large 15-inch profile for trophy fish
  • Can be fished or collected

Cons

  • High price for a single bait
  • Specialty lure with a narrow target audience
  • Likely requires heavy tackle and experience
