Palms Slow Blatt Cast

Palms Slow Blatt Cast lures have become extremely popular for anglers fishing both in the freshwater and saltwater.

The 20, 30 and even 40g models have been a must-have lure for social and tournament impoundment bass anglers over the past few years as they have been absolutely slaying the bass, accounting for the current world record from Somerset Dam.

Both from the shore and from boats, anglers have had success slow rolling and hoping these lures through the schools of Australian bass in impoundments all over the country.

The 20g models are rigged perfectly for bass as they have super sharp assists hooks to pin fish even with the most subtle of bites.

In saltwater, anglers have targeted all manner of species from flathead in the shallows through to big pelagic in the deep water.

Shore-based anglers have caught a whole manner of species from small species such as bream from the sand all the way to big kingfish off the rocks.

Boat anglers have found Palms Slow Blatts an absolute stand-out jig for targeting demersal species as well as pelagic species.

Some models may require heavier assists if targeting bigger species but the action and the quality of the jigs are a level above many others on the market.

Oval

The Oval Slow Blatt has the slowest sink rate due to its flat shape, which creates a slow wide sink as the lures slowly plains to the bottom.

The slow speed fall keeps the jig in the face of the target species and the wide action helps excite them to bite.

Especially effective on Australian bass in the freshwater and demersal species in low current waters in the saltwater.

60cm/sec sink rate.

Slim

The Slim Slow Blatt in centre balanced to give it a slow and stable fall.

These jigs have fluttering fall that is erratic yet vertically straight.

When jigged they are easy to work as the centre balance has less weight resistance and has a great side to side action.

80cm/sec sink rate.

Wide

The Wide Slow Blatt has the fastest most erratic sink of all the slow blatts and the smallest profile for weight.

This is an advantage when fishing deeper water, faster current or when a super erratic action is required to excite a fish in to biting.

More effort is required to work the wides as they are rear weighted, so heavier tackle may be needed.

90cm/sec sink rate.

Long

Like the slim but longer and narrower, the Long Slow Blatt has a similar fall but has a very wide side-to-side action when worked through the water column.

These jigs have heavier assists as the action lends itself to targeting more aggressive species such as kingfish that need more stopping power.
