The incredibly versatile Palm Tree from Kinami Baits is a bulky bait built to resemble a solid bodied tube bait. Ideal for Texas and Carolina rigging, the Palm Tree's is deadly when rigged backwards on a 4/0 wide gap hook. When rigged backwards it slowly sinks away from you, and its skirt produces a natural flaring action. Bass can't hold back when they spot a Palm Tree headed their way!

Advantages: Ease of use, Style/Design, Performs well, Value for money, Quality

"Some of my biggest fish come on this bait. I fish it primarily rigged backwards...using Mustad Ultrapoint Mega Lite hooks ranging from 3/0 - 5.0.

Just push the point through the collar and out, then back through the body of the bait and skin hook the point...

Bait casts like a bullet...tends to swim/fall away from you...tentacles flare on the twitch...

I fish it weightless...but due to its shape if falls fast...have caught fish out of 19 feet of water to inches...

Love pitching it into the heart of brushpiles...a great 'mimic' bait for bluegill or crayfish.

the plastic IS soft like most of these baits...but rigged backward, as I do...it is not uncommon to last through 6-8 fish...it's all in the hook you choose and the way you choose to rig it.

one other tip: I like to add craw scent to my Palm Trees...preferring the Smelly Jelly products...it does make a difference.

the image is of a big girl (around here) that succumbed to the palm tree..."

Great bait

July 25, 2010

By twitchtwitchset

from DFW

Advantages: Performs well

Disadvantages: Durability

"If you fish any smaller lakes where the primary bass forage is bluegill and not shad, try these twitched slowly along the edges of the grass, weightless or with a 1/32 bullet. Black/blue, Junebug, and Christmas Tree have been best colors for me. Just make sure you texpose/skinhook and use the 4/0s with a twist lock for best hookset results and longer use, cause they do tear up. Hang on!"

Very Versitile Bait

April 29, 2009

By 2Rhino53

from Northern Kentucky

Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money

Disadvantages: Durability

"Though it is tube shaped, this bait is solid. This quality allows it to be thrown easily without a sinker or weighted hook. It can be used effectively as a jerkbait, dropshot, carolina rig, texas rig, or simply weedless. I highly recommend this bait."

Awesome Baits!

March 21, 2008

By SoCalFishermansLocal420

from La Mirada, Calif.

"I went to my local honey hole the other day with some of these that I picked up. These things are AWESOME! Rig them backwards with the 4/0 Owner twist locks and watch out. When you "pop" them of the bottom, they fall away from you, keeping your line out there. The bass like to hit them on the fall. These are EXACTLY the same as the Yamamoto Fat Ika's, with the only differences being the colors and price, and they're from the same company. I had great luck with the Christmas Pumpkin color. I've had problems finding these at my local spots, but at half the price of the Ika's, they are worth searching for. I was stoked when I found them here. Try them, you won't be dissapointed."

Forget Tubes

September 24, 2006

By Fish61

from West Bend, Wisconsin

"Rigged BACKWARDS or FORWARDS this bait works. You must use a
4/0 hook. Rigged backwards and weightless this bait swims away from you (like the old flying lure did) and under things or into a Bass's
face, and belive me they will smash it. Weightless is the way to go most of the time, but rigged with a bait jerker type hook you can get it down quicker if that's whats needed. Rigged with a slip sinker or not it works great pitching to cover. Black/Blue and Baby Bass do all the damage for me."
