Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g 1

Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g – Hook Size 1 – Flatfish-Ready Leader with Adjustable Hook Slide

The Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig is a ready-tied flatfish leader (Rig) built around the proven Perchman Rig concept — now refined specifically for targeting flatfish such as plaice, flounder, and dab. This variant comes weighted at 28g with two size 1 hooks and is supplied as a single rig.

Adjustable Slide for Precise Bait Presentation

The sliding carriage lets you position the upper hook at exactly the right height above the bottom. The upper hook is baited with a whole worm riding just clear of the seabed, while the lower hook trails a worm piece right along the bottom. This two-level presentation creates an irresistible feeding trigger for flatfish — one bait wafting above the sand, the other dragging seductively across it.

Versatile for Boat Fishing in Any Condition

The 28g weight suits a range of boat techniques. From an anchored position, cast out and retrieve slowly with regular pauses to mimic a struggling worm. Drifting from a boat or cutter, simply let the rig drag along the bottom. The twin-line construction uses 0.80 mm and 0.40 mm diameter lines for a balanced combination of strength on the main trace and sensitivity on the hook lengths.
