Palms - AX Shade 50S
Specifications
About this lure
The combination of multiple minnows creates a sense of volume. The performance of the two-body integrated silhouette, which was discovered as a new factor that stimulates the predatory instincts of fish eaters, has been tuned for light salt games. When retrieved, the two lures connected by the joint synchronize to form a school. In response to rod work, the shade part attached to the back appeals with an action that is the opposite of the main minnow. The quickly responsive shade concept body exerts maximum appeal with its delicate action. While limiting the movement distance of the lure itself, it approaches the target with an overwhelming presence in a limited range.

How to work it
The AX Shade 50S is a 7g sinking lure built around a two-body jointed silhouette that mimics a small school of baitfish. Cast it out and let it settle to your chosen depth in the sub-surface 0-2m zone, counting it down before you begin the retrieve.
Work it with a steady retrieve to keep the jointed bodies synchronised into that school-like presentation, then add rod-tip twitches so the rear shade section kicks in the opposite direction to the main minnow.
This delicate, responsive action keeps the lure working in a tight window rather than covering long distances, so slow things down and let the presence do the work.
At 7g in a compact 50mm profile, it suits light game rods with matching light lines. Fish it around structure and bait where trevally are feeding sub-surface, keeping the lure in the strike zone longer with short, controlled inputs.
