Smith Tic Tac Lipper HS 50mm 4.2g 12 – Pop C Head GG – Green Glow

Smith Tic Tac Lipper

Smith Tic Tac Lipper HS 12 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.

TIC TAC LIPPER S

Use: low to medium activity trout

• works even with short travel (short retrieve distance)
• stable action even at very slow retrieve speeds

Suitable for:

• cautious fish
• heavily pressured fish

Practical use: Slow retrieve, precise depth control, minimal input – letting the lure work on its own.

TIC TAC LIPPER HS

Use: medium to high activity

• handles fast retrieves (high-pitch retrieve) without losing stability
• also allows:
  • downward retrieve
• responds well to:
  • shaking (variable amplitude)
  • continuous twitching
• maintains precise range control even during dynamic retrieves

Practical use: Suitable for more active fish or when you need to change tempo – from aggressive to controlled, subdued retrieves.

Key difference:

S model: finesse, slow retrieve, short movement, inactive fish
HS model: wider retrieve range, more flexibility
