About this lure

The Palms Alexandra 50HW is a precision-engineered flatside twitching minnow built for mountain streams and mainstream rivers. With its strengthened body, tuned balance, and controlled sinking posture, it’s designed to hit tight pin-spots and trigger aggressive strikes from wary trout. The flat-sided profile produces sharp, irregular action with minimal rod movement — perfect for delicate yet decisive presentations from spring through autumn.

  • Flatside twitching design – delivers tight, irregular flashes that provoke reaction bites
  • Stable sinking posture – level fall keeps lure tracking true even in fast current
  • Strengthened body and lip – enhanced durability without losing sharp action
  • Flat body profile – maintains consistent flutter and lift through each twitch
  • Anti Hook Out System – reduces fish loss during fight for secure landings
  • Versatile application – ideal for mountain streams, creeks, and river edges
  • Eco-conscious packaging – paper-based design minimises plastic use

How to fish the Palms - Alexandra 50HW

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Alexandra 50HW is a flatside sinking minnow made for twitching in mountain streams, creeks and river edges.

Cast up or across the current, let the 4.5g body settle into its level sinking posture, then work it back with short, sharp rod-tip twitches. The flat-sided profile throws tight, irregular flashes off minimal movement, so keep inputs subtle and let the lure dart and flutter between twitches.

The stable fall lets it track true in fast water, so aim casts at tight pin-spots - seams, pockets and undercut edges - and pause it in the strike zone. Its controlled sink helps hold depth through current without dragging up.

Pair it with a light trout spinning or ultralight setup and fine leader for delicate presentations. This suits wary trout from spring through autumn, and the single #8 hook plus Anti Hook Out System helps secure hookups during the fight.
