Smith Niakis Inline Spinner 3g Single Hook

One of the most innovative and feature-packed inline spinners to come out of Japan, the Smith Niakis has been a staple for tournament and recreational trout anglers all over the world. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Niakis Inline Spinner boasts impeccable craftsmanship and ensures top-tier performance. By resolving the issues common to other inline spinners, such as line twist and subpar action, the Niakis truly sets itself apart from the rest.

To eliminate the problem of line twists, the Niakis spinner utilizes a combination of features that work in conjunction to create a tangle-free experience. A welded rolling swivel is integrated into the lure shaft at the line tie, ensuring line twists are significantly reduced. Careful consideration has also been placed into the body profile, with an asymmetric design being utilized to eliminate body rotation. At the same time, the spacing between the body and shaft has also been adjusted to maintain a stable action. The small blade is attached utilizing a stirrup design that allows for quick startup and prevents the blade from rotating the lure main shaft, further contributing to reduced line twists.

The body profile for the Smith Niakis also features several design aspects that take this lure to the next level. With its minnow-shaped design, a realistic body silhouette is created, allowing Nikais to imitate a fleeing baitfish. The body shape is flat-sided, which gives it a tight wobbling action on the retrieve, creating a lifelike flash that draws fish in. While most inline spinners lack any defined action beyond the rotation of the blade, Niakis moves through the water with a more realistic presence, as simply changing the retrieve speed creates flares and body shakes that can trigger reaction strikes.

At 3g in weight, Nikais offers a compact presentation with excellent casting distance and unparalleled accuracy. It is fitted with a premium-quality size #8 Gamakatsu Single53 inline hook that allows this small lure to more easily come through cover and is well suited for catch-and-release fishing. The hook is attached utilizing a split ring, which allows for easy hook swaps when needed.
