Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g 1

Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig 28g – Two-Hook Flatfish Leader with Adjustable Slide

The Balzer Plattfisch Perchman Rig is a ready-tied flatfish leader built around a clever two-hook setup that keeps one worm hovering just above the seabed and drags a second along the bottom — an irresistible combination for plaice, flounder, and other flatfish.

Adjustable Slide for Precise Hook Placement

A sliding mount lets you reposition the upper hook along the leader, so you can fine-tune the presentation to match current conditions, bait size, or species preference. The upper hook rides just off the bottom, while the lower hook trails behind, letting its worm fringe graze the seabed and stir up natural-looking movement.

Versatile Across Different Fishing Styles

This rig adapts to multiple flatfish methods without any rigging changes. From an anchored boat, cast it out and slowly retrieve with pauses to cover ground methodically. Fishing from a drifting boat or charter vessel, simply let the rig drag across the bottom as you move. At 28g, the weight is well-suited to moderate tidal conditions and keeps contact with the seabed throughout the drift or retrieve.

Choose the Right Variant

The Balzer Plattfisch leader range includes two rig types — the Perchman Rig and the Plattfisch Rig — and is available in different weight and hook-size combinations. Choose based on your target species, water depth, and tidal strength:

• Plattfisch Perchman Rig, 28g, Hook Size 1 — the current variant; two adjustable hooks in size 1, line diameters 0.80mm and 0.40mm; ideal for plaice and flounder from boat, anchored or drifting, in moderate currents

• Plattfisch Perchman Rig, 28g — same Perchman twin-hook concept, check hook size before ordering
