About the model

The Smith Troutin' Surger 60 / 80 is a compact, lipless, sinking casting jig developed for active trout fishing in larger rivers, but it also works very well for sea bass, sea trout, and freshwater perch.

Its flat belly profile concentrates weight low in the body. This allows for long casts, quick contact, and a special rolling action when the lure is allowed to fall or briefly stopped during retrieve. Instead of swimming like a classic wobbler, the Troutin' Surger works more like a hybrid between a lipless minnow and a jig.

This model is particularly well-suited when you want to cover larger bodies of water, fish deeper current edges, or trigger fish that follow without striking on a steady retrieve. With twitching, stop-and-go, and controlled falls, the lure creates a restless baitfish movement that can provoke aggressive strikes.

WALK AND RESPONSE This is how it works in the water

The Smith Troutin’ Surger 60 / 80 has a completely different character than a typical crankbait. Its lipless body provides more direct line contact, and the lure responds clearly to slight changes in retrieve speed, rod action, and stops.

With a steady retrieve, the Troutin’ Surger exhibits a rolling and compact movement that imitates a small fish in motion. When you incorporate short twitches, the lure breaks its rhythm and moves more erratically, like an injured or stressed baitfish.

Often, the most crucial trigger comes during the fall. When the retrieve is briefly stopped, its flat belly causes the lure to roll and vibrate as it sinks. This provides a clear sign of life during the pause, instead of the lure simply falling straight and lifeless through the water.

In larger rivers, this makes the model highly effective along current edges, behind rocks, in deep channels, and in areas where fish follow but need a break in the movement before striking.

The Troutin’ Surger 60 / 80 combines long casting distance, lipless control, rolling on the fall, and effective twitch response – a strong model when fish need to be triggered with stops, vibrations, and erratic baitfish movements.

USE IN FIELD When and where it fits best

The Smith Troutin’ Surger 60 / 80 is best suited for larger rivers, wide current edges, deep sections, coastal areas, and open waters where you need long casts and good contact with the lure.

Use the 60 mm when fishing for trout, sea trout, or perch in rivers, lake edges, or moderate currents. Choose the 80 mm when you need more casting distance, a more robust profile, and better contact in larger waters, stronger currents, or coastal fishing for sea bass and larger fish.

Retrieve it with a steady retrieve combined with short twitches and stops. Let the lure drop controllably between pulls, and maintain contact with the line so you feel when a fish strikes during the drop. Often, the strike occurs precisely when the lure stops, rolls, or starts again.

The Troutin’ Surger is particularly useful when classic wobblers run too high, when spoon lures become too monotonous, or when you want to fish more actively with a compact and long-casting presentation. In very shallow water or over a lot of vegetation, the sink time must be kept short, as the model quickly drops into the water column.

Background and Development The Story Behind the Series

The Smith Troutin' Surger was originally developed for trout fishing, particularly in larger rivers where anglers need long casts, quick contact, and a presentation that can withstand currents. However, the model has also proven effective far beyond classic trout fishing, including for seabass and freshwater perch.

Its construction differs from standard D-series crankbaits. The Troutin' Surger has no lip, but instead uses its body shape, density, and weight distribution to create movement. The flat belly concentrates the weight low, which provides stable casting distance and a characteristic rolling action when the lure sinks or stops.

This makes the model especially relevant for techniques such as cast and retrieve, twitching, stop-and-go, and controlled fall. Instead of a fixed swimming path, the Troutin' Surger allows the angler to vary its presentation significantly with small adjustments.

The 60 mm size serves as the most all-round option for river and lighter predatory fishing. The 80 mm offers more range, a larger silhouette, and more power when conditions or target species require a more prominent presentation.

The Smith Troutin' Surger 60 / 80 is a compact, lipless and long-casting trout jig for larger rivers, current edges and active predator fishing – designed for rolling, twitching, stop-and-go and controlled drops.
