Palms Degree Floating

The Degree lures family, by leading Japanese company Palms have always been a bestseller item in the artificial baits market. It is safe to say that the available stock for these lures is constantly being sought out for, by Light Rock Fishing enthusiasts. In the Palms Degree lures family, a Floating version has been added, in a wide variety of colors.

So what are the main differences between the Floating and the Sinking Degree? In the Saltwater Bit Arts category, Palms makes sure to introduce practical innovations that satisfy the needs of a knowledgeable and experienced target group. The Degree lures family needed a lighter version, compared to the sinking one, which would be able to respond faster and more accurately to commands originating from Ultra Light Casting Weight rods, with lesser blank strength, or solid tip.

The treble hook placed in its belly, is adjusted on a swivel to avoid hook outs during battle. Palms calls this Anti Hook Out System.

To that end goal, Palms developed a smaller and of different angle lip and installed it in a lighter (3.3 gr) Degree lure. The Floating Degree produces a more intense action and is far more sensitive to to every Twitch. Even with a simple retrieve you will realize its amazing action and almost any Ultra Light rod will automatically synchronize with it, even at a micro-commands level. This later characteristic is not to be taken lightly. Even Palms itself emphasizes that the Floating Degree responds to a simple, steady retrieve, a trait that leads us to assume that even non experienced Light Rock Fishing enthusiasts can explore its full potential.

The particular surface lure is made for Finesse in-shore fishing, when long casting is not an end goal, but realism and total control of your lure with fine gear, along with delicate presentations, is. In Mediterranean waters, where we tested the Floating Degree extensively, large Saddled Seabreams and White Seabreams showed their preference to the particular Palms lure, even in those days when they seem uninterested and sluggish. There are times when fish is very close to the shore, but seem reluctant to attack lures. This is the perfect opportunity to put the Floating Degree into play. It is a tool for shallow waters, docks at night time and calm waters to reveal its properties. It might fall a little behind in casting distance due to its lighter weight and smaller lip, but makes up for it as soon as it lands in the water with its instant responses to rod work.

Truly, there is no LRF angler who will not appreciate the Floating Degree for its specialized and tailor made design.
