Halco wobblers: selection tips and reviews from anglers

About wobblers

Wobblers from this company are plastic fish with small balls inside that produce a characteristic sound that attracts fish. An important advantage of wobblers is the ability to change the nose blades. Another feature of the models is their ability to go deep under water, while tilting their heads down while guiding them through the water.

It is also worth taking into account that wobblers can be of a wide variety of colors, which have already proven themselves well in salmon fishing. And the fish can notice their special coating from a considerable distance.

Why exactly Halko wobblers?

During the 90s, the company gained good popularity. Currently, it has over 60 retail locations in different parts of the world. The company employs 50 highly qualified specialists with unparalleled knowledge and experience. Each model produced there is tested and has unique properties, and also has a wide range of choices.

Review of the best Halko wobblers

The best models of Halko wobblers are praised for the fact that after unpacking they can immediately be used in fishing, without the need to buy additional components for them. During their production, developers work out every detail. When catching large fish, there is a possibility that the hook will become deformed, as a result of which the bait will no longer “play” as it moves through the water, so you should definitely check that the fasteners and the hook itself are not damaged. If, however, the hook or fastener is damaged, there is nothing to worry about; you can carefully bend it with special pliers.

In addition to this, the size of the hook also affects the performance of the bait. Each wobbler comes with its own hook, which is tailored to its characteristics, replacing which the wobbler will lose some of its properties.

The structure of Halko wobblers makes it possible to use certain sizes of hooks. For example, with the Scorpio 125 model, it is permissible to use large and heavy hooks. Also, in addition to the size of the hook, the size of the carabiner plays a role in the performance of the wobbler. However, thanks to the attachment of a special nose blade to the wobbler, it smooths out the influence of the hook, which does not meet the requirements for this model.

Wobblers Halko

The company began producing the first wobblers in the 80s of the last century and immediately won the love of fishermen, as they behaved quite well in practical use.

List of the latest new products from the company:

• Wobbler Halko Poltergeist.
• Wobbler Halko Sourcer.
• Halko wobblers for trolling.

Take a look at the article about Rudra wobblers.

Wobbler Halko Poltergeist

Poltergeist is a budget product of the company, which is suitable if you plan to fish, for example, on a small lake or in an overgrown reservoir, where the sound emitted by the wobbler will be heard everywhere. The Halko poltergeist wobbler is a medium-noisy bait that, when immersed, sinks to the bottom as much as possible in a vertical position (immersion depth is adjusted manually).

Models presented under the Poltergeist brand:

As you can see, the Hulk Poltergeist line is represented by several models, thanks to which every fisherman will be able to purchase a comfortable, and most importantly, high-quality wobbler, depending on his needs, at a low price.

Wobbler Halko Sourcer

Sourcerer is a more expensive, but still quite budget-friendly line of wobblers, characterized by increased strength and resistance to external factors, for example, pitfalls and the like, and the control of such a wobbler is quite simple and intuitive.

The bait from the Sourcerer series is characterized by its special behavior in water. The plastic fish smoothly oscillates from side to side, while emitting a fairly loud sound, and the proprietary paddle increases stability when dealing with underwater obstacles. In general, the reviews from anglers about this bait are extremely positive, since, in addition to the fact that Sourcerer is quite stable, it is also distinguished by its, so to speak, flight characteristics . Due to its light weight and oblong shape, it can be thrown a considerable distance.

Halko Kombat

The Kombat model wobbler is universal and is suitable for fishing both from the side of a moving boat and for fishing with wiring in reservoirs with fresh or salt water. Such a wobbler with an unusual ribbed surface and a durable metal nose blade immediately sinks to great depths, plays rapidly, emitting a characteristic sound, which greatly attracts surrounding fish, even those located at a distance. Situations arise in which the model runs into some obstacle, which threatens to get caught. To avoid this, you need to lift the rod up and unwind the line a little, as a result of which the bait will go around the obstacle on its own without getting caught.

Halko wobblers for trolling

Before we begin our review of these wobblers, it should be noted that they are not intended for simple fishing, and most importantly, their purpose is for sport fishing or hunting for large, predatory fish. For example, such bait is actively used when fishing for pike.

Wobblers for trolling are presented in 11 models in the following sizes:

• 3.5 centimeters.
• 5.5 centimeters.
• 6.8 centimeters.
• 9 centimeters.
• 12.9 centimeters.
• 15 centimeters.

Models from 3.5 to 6.8 centimeters are suitable for spinning fishing, but 9 and above act as trolling bait.

Halko Poltergeist

The main feature of this model is that it makes a lot of noise, which attracts even more fish at different distances from the bait. After casting, the wobbler sharply goes down, plunging to the desired depth. The model is used for fishing among algae, snags and holes located at the bottom. The bait is famous for its good ability to pass through obstacles, reminiscent of a fish that examines the bottom and is looking for something to profit from. It is impossible for fish not to notice this wobbler with its color and noise, so the result of a good catch will not take long to arrive. The poltergeist bait is universal and is suitable for fishing from a moving boat or fishing from the shore. There are two popular models:

• Poltergeist 50
• Poltergeist 80.

Halko Rusta Popper

When producing a wide series of Rust Popper baits, the developers use only modern technologies. The layout and appearance are developed using special computer programs. During fishing, the popper makes a characteristic “gurgling” sound, thanks to the weighting of its rear base, the bait can be used to catch fish on long casts.

Halko Sorkesser

The Sorkesser series of lures, which translated means “Sorcerer,” is characterized by a sideways oscillation of the body as it moves through the water. These wobblers make a barely audible noise, and their factory-made Halco Ballet Proof nose blade provides significant strength, which is important if there are many underwater obstacles along the way.

However, often, fishermen use this type of bait when fishing on the track, although the model is also ideal for long-distance fishing from the shore. When fishing on a reservoir that has a relief bottom, the specially designed tail part of the wobbler helps to avoid the hook, the main thing is to always monitor the bait and loosen the fishing line. If it is necessary to carry out high-speed retrieval, especially when fishing from the side of a moving boat, then you should remove the hook located in the center of the bait.

The main feature of this bait is the ability to change the nose blade, which is conveniently fixed with a special carbine in the wobbler body.

Each such wobbler comes with two blades for different purposes: one for fishing at shallow depths, the other at great depths.

By purchasing such a bait, an angler receives two different baits at once.
