Palms's The Smelt SS is a technical metal jig designed for saltwater Light Jigging, ideal for anglers seeking maximum versatility and control in all conditions. Its slim and semi-long silhouette, combined with a realistic baitfish profile, ensures excellent water penetration, reduced resistance and immediate responsiveness to rod movements. An evolution of The Smelt, it features an even slimmer shape to expand its action range and adapt to complex fishing scenarios. The slightly forward-weighted balance toward the head, along with the different contact surfaces between head and tail, allows for two distinct actions simply by changing the attachment point. When rigged on the head side (Strong side), the jig delivers an aggressive, fast, and directional action with strong water grip and pronounced vibrations, ideal for targeting active predators. When rigged on the tail side (Soft side), it produces a more natural, slower, and undulating movement, perfect for lethargic fish and fall presentations. The ability to modulate hydrodynamic resistance ensures optimal control even in current and wind, making it highly effective in challenging conditions. The combination of a slim structure, forward balance and dual configuration makes this jig extremely responsive and versatile, suitable for both fast retrieves and slower, more technical techniques. Perfect for anglers looking for a single lure capable of covering multiple fishing situations with high performance.
Slim and Semi-Long Silhouette
The slim and elongated profile ensures a smooth, natural swimming action, improving water penetration and stability during retrieval. A design engineered to deliver versatility and consistent performance in various conditions.
Strong Side (head attachment)
Designed for a more aggressive and reactive action: during steady retrieve it generates strong vibrations, while jerking produces sharp, linear movements. Ideal for attracting attention from a distance and triggering instinctive strikes.
Soft Side (tail attachment)
Perfect for a more natural and subtle approach: during steady retrieve it offers a soft, slightly erratic movement, while jerking maintains a more controlled action. Excellent in low-activity conditions or when a slower, more realistic presentation is required.
