- 1. Inertial slide that shifts into a slow-speed zone: This is a world not found in regular floating or sinking minnows. With existing minnows, twitching repeats move, stop, move, stop. During the stop, the minnow tries to right its posture with buoyancy (sinking minnows also have buoyancy to restore posture) but does not move forward, so it effectively stops. Because of its own weight, the D-Contact tries to right its posture by the law of inertia while moving in a twisting motion. This is the inertial slide. It then shifts into a slow-speed zone. In a continuous sequence of move, inertial slide, move, inertial slide, fish are lured by the movement and recognize the slow-speed moment of the inertial slide, which still has motion but reduced speed, as a bite opportunity. The same can be seen when birds and beasts catch prey.

- 2. Does not pop out when twitched on cross or downstream casts: When fishing upstream along a river, downstream and cross-downstream casts make up less than 10% of use, but there are always some spots where they are necessary. The D-Contact was developed as a fishing minnow that relies mainly on upstream casts, creating fluttering, darting, and jerking snake-like slide actions through twitching. However, a minnow focused only on upstream casts would not feel realistic in the field. Sinking minnows were weak in reverse twitching due to their nature, but the D-Contact keeps its potential unchanged for upstream, cross, and downstream casts. There is no need to switch to floating when fishing downstream.

- 3. Range control is possible: Because of its considerable weight, it falls quickly and can also target deep water. It can be used at various depths by adjusting retrieve, the interval between twitches, and rod tip position.

- 4. Long casting: The 50mm, 63mm, and 72mm types all have a slightly rear-fixed center of gravity, so they cast without wobbling and achieve much longer distances than conventional-size lures. The benefit of the weight is especially noticeable when casting into headwinds.

- 5. Built for attraction - a. Visual shape change for attraction: The thin body and "hook-shaped" profile create a slight flutter and rolling action that makes target fish notice a big change. When target fish view the D-Contact from below, it appears thin, slender, and fragile, but during fluttering and rolling the shape changes dramatically, drawing attention to the change. - b. Unique reflected light: Different holographic films are applied to the mask and body to create presence underwater. The colors are designed with both natural and attractor patterns in mind, with a lineup focused on practicality. For example, TS and TS Laser have different reflection efficiency underwater. The same applies to Yamame and Yamame Laser. - c. Black ring and hook specification that enhances the sparkle of the lure: Apart from the body, the finish is achromatic black. The hooks have a Kaiken specification for sharp penetration.
