Field Notes

This is a salmon and steelhead presentation built around a Smile Blade that creates a consistent gyrating flash and vibration. It is suited for turbid water and high-water conditions, and can be trolled, cast, or drifted, especially behind a diver or where aggressive territorial strikes are likely.

Pros

  • Strong rotating flash and vibration from the Smile Blade
  • Effective in turbid or high-water conditions
  • Versatile for trolling, casting, or drifting

Cons

  • Specialized for salmon/steelhead rather than general-purpose fishing
  • Likely less effective in very clear water without added flash
