Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g

Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g — Dual-Hook Leader Built for Flatfish

The Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig is a purpose-built flatfish (Plattfisch) leader rig that puts two worm presentations at two levels simultaneously — one just off the bottom, one dragging along it — for an irresistible natural display that draws plaice, flounder, and dab into biting.

Adjustable Sliding Shuttle for Precise Hook Positioning

The standout feature of this rig is its moveable slider shuttle, which lets you fine-tune the height of the upper hook relative to the lower one. Rig the upper hook with a whole worm to hover just above the seabed, and thread a worm section onto the lower hook so its tails trail and flutter along the bottom. This combination mimics natural feeding activity at two depths at once, maximising your presentation window without any retying.

Versatile Across Boat Fishing Methods

This rig adapts to how you're fishing. From an anchored boat, cast out and retrieve slowly with deliberate pauses to animate both hooks. Drifting from a boat or charter vessel, simply let the rig graze across the bottom as you move — the lower hook drags naturally while the upper one dances above. At 28g the rig has enough weight to hold contact with the seabed in moderate tidal flows.
