About this lure

The Palms Dax DXS is a compact, high-response metal jig built for SLJ (Super Light Jigging) and shore casting. Its short, fat polyhedral body delivers rapid fall speed, crisp rod response, and stable swimming in both shallow and deep water. Designed for smooth operation with delicate-tipped rods, it reduces drag while amplifying flash appeal β€” ideal for snapper, trevally, and small kingfish whether you're fishing from the boat or the shore.

  • SLJ-ready compact body – perfect balance for super light jigging and shore casting
  • Improved water-cutting design – new edged shape reduces resistance and boosts control
  • Polyhedral profile – enhances flash, speed, and stability through the fall and retrieve
  • Tail keel design – cuts drag while delivering dynamic, lifelike jig action
  • Comes rigged with assist hook – flasher hook setup ready straight from the box
  • Symmetrical body – ensures consistent, natural swimming even in changing currents
  • High-performance finish – irresistible flash and vibration in current or deep-water work

How to fish the Palms - Dax Swim

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Dax Swim is a compact metal jig for Super Light Jigging and shore casting, with a short, fat polyhedral body that gives rapid fall speed and stable swimming through the water column.

Drop it to the bottom in 30m or deeper, then work it up with lifts and pauses, letting the tail keel and symmetrical body keep the action consistent as it falls. It comes rigged with an assist flasher hook straight from the box.

Pair it with a delicate-tipped SLJ rod to make the most of the crisp rod response and reduced drag, keeping in touch with the jig as it flutters. From shore, use the compact weight for casting distance and count it down before beginning your retrieve.

Target snapper, trevally, and small kingfish, whether fishing from the boat over deeper ground or casting from the shore.

Which colour, and when

DH-293 DH-293Blue zebra chrome flash with UV - pulls fish in clear water under bright light.
MG-288 MG-288Dark tiger stripe with glow - the pick when it's deep, dark or the light has dropped.
MG-289 MG-289Gold and blue zebra with UV - warm flash that works when the light is fading or water is lightly stained.
MG-290 MG-290Red and gold reads as a dark warm silhouette down deep - good in low light.
MG-739 MG-739Pink and purple with a glow belly - a reliable confidence colour that holds its appeal down deep.
PL-740 PL-740Clean blue back and chrome silver belly - natural baitfish match for clear water and bright conditions.
PL-741 PL-741Pink and purple with a glow belly - a reliable confidence colour that holds its appeal down deep.
RZ-291 RZ-291Pink and blue chrome with glow and UV - covers low light and deep water with flash and glow together.

Which weight, and when

55 g The lightest option (67mm) suits shallower work, lighter current, and longer casts from shore with delicate-tipped rods.
80 g A mid-weight (76mm) for moderate depth and current, balancing fall speed with control on SLJ tackle.
100 g The heaviest (81mm) reaches bottom fastest in deeper water past 30m or where current runs strong.
