Smith Dagger Stream

The SMITH LTD. TROUTIN'SPIN DAGGER STREAM is a telescopic model designed for mobility, allowing it to be extended immediately after being taken out of storage. While keeping the collapsed length as short as possible, it pursues a design that minimizes issues such as breakage and sticking of the sliding guides. A basic moderate taper is used for the action, creating a versatile setup with a broad range of lure compatibility.

Instead of using commercially available sliding guides, the sliding guide system secures thread-wrapped guides to carbon pipes. The advantage of this system is that, by fine-tuning the inner diameter of the carbon pipes, it avoids unnatural guide positioning and enables a guide setup close to that of standard thread-wrapped guides. Of course, the carbon pipes are kept only as long as necessary to match the guide feet, so they do not interfere with the blank’s bending action. This sliding guide system transfers the blank’s power to the lure without loss, allowing for confident fights with fish.
