Smith Tic Tac Lipper
Smith Tic Tac Lipper HS 03 is a jointed plug designed for Trout Area fishing, built for precise depth control and effective action even with minimal retrieve.
Concept:
The name “Tic Tac” comes from the ticking of a clock and the skateboard “tic-tac” motion. It perfectly describes the lure’s behavior – subtle, rhythmic impulses and micro-movement without the need for aggressive rod work.
Core characteristics:
- extremely long casting distance
- fast sinking – easy to reach the desired depth
- precise range control from surface to mid-water column
- small internal weight balls produce a subtle, non-aggressive rattle
Key feature:
The lure holds its depth and maintains action even with minimal movement. This is exactly what you need for pressured or cautious trout.
