The Slow Blatt R is designed specifically for slow jigging. This model aims to balance the accurate response to the angler’s input and the irregular action during the fall. When jerked, it responds by turning the body horizontally. When falling, it appeals with an irregular fall from a little closer to the tail. In the long fall method, the R-shape on the top of the body grabs the water, so it gets caught in the water even with a slow lift.

When it transitions to the fall, the sliding edge on the bottom of the body allows for quick water removal. It shows slowly and then drops quickly. This contrast is the key to attracting a bite.
