Origin story
Before we understand all the variety of baits, let's talk about how wobblers appeared. The history of bait originates in America.
According to sources, the first idea to create an artificial bait belonged to the beekeeper Haddon. While watching a fish catch a wooden stick on the surface of the water, the idea of creating a similar bait came to his mind and he began experimenting with creating wooden baits in the form of fish, which gave good results.
This type of bait was very popular among fishermen, and a few years later the manufacturer began producing transparent models of plastic wobblers.
Some fishermen claim that the first to invent this type of bait was the Finnish fisherman Rapala, the creator of the fishing tackle production company of the same name.
Characteristics of wobblers
A wobbler is an imitation of a small, sick fish. And the predator is well aware of the health of its food and greedily pounces on it.
Divided into three types:
- floating - made of light wood. In their movements at the surface of the water, they resemble a wounded fish. They are especially effective where predators hunt in the upper layers. Some models form a trail of air bubbles behind them, which has a positive effect on fish bite;
- sinking - made from materials of greater density than water. A blade is attached to the bow, allowing this bait to float in the water. In this case, you need the experience of a fisherman to feel its movement in the water;
- diving (suspenders) - made from materials that have a low specific gravity. A blade is installed in the bow, which acts as a depth rudder. This bait can be used to fish different layers of water.
Nowadays, wobblers for fishing look not only like small fish, but also like animals and insects that inhabit water bodies. Grasshoppers and frogs, made of plastic and equipped with a blade to change the depth, are a common arsenal for anglers. But over time, the fish gets used to them and does not bite on them. Therefore, new forms of wobblers arise. For example, in the form of a banana - Tail Dancer. These are “bananas” of different colors with noisy resonators.
Form
Some fishermen prefer the pear shape to the banana shape. Others are the opposite.
Manufacturers have recently been trying to produce baits that do not differ in size and shape from certain types of fish. So they are called “perch”, “trout”, “roach”.
Size
Their sizes range from 2.5 to 25 cm, sometimes more, but the most practical baits are considered to be 4-9 cm. The smallest are trout, chub, and perch. Starting from 4 cm you can already catch carp and bream. Large wobblers, up to 25 cm, are used to catch pike.
When choosing by size, you need to remember that the larger the bait, the more stable its game, the less dependent it is on various natural reasons. The smallest ones become uncontrollable in the current.
Wobbler blade
The blade (tongue, shovel, plate, nose) is the main working body of the wobbler. It is this element that causes the bait to vibrate and go deeper. In this case, the activity of the game, the speed of immersion and the working depth depend on the position and relative dimensions of the blade.
That is, this is an extremely important element of the wobbler, which is discussed additionally and in more detail in the article: Blade (blade) of the wobbler and the depth of wobblers.
The blade of a wobbler has four main parameters: slope, length, area and configuration. Of course, their influence on the bait must be assessed comprehensively, but this topic is worthy of a separate book. Therefore, to begin with, we will carry out a simplified comparative analysis and consider three blades of floating wobblers with different depths (Fig. 2).
Fig.2. Blades of floating wobblers "RAPALA" with different depths: a) Original Floating, b) Shad Rap, c) Down Deep Rattlin' Fat Rap.
The inclination of the blade determines the rate of descent. The smaller the angle between the blade and the horizontal axis of the wobbler, the steeper and faster the bait goes down.
The length of the blade determines the maximum depth to which the wobbler can dive. The longer the blade, the greater the working depth. However, in this case, the disturbing forces from the oncoming flow increase significantly. And if the bait is not stable enough, it is “swept” to the side until it reaches the surface. To balance such a wobbler, the line loop is moved approximately to the middle of the blade, then the bait retains its deepening ability and stability of play.
The area of the blade determines the game activity of the bait. In this case, the maximum rocking effect is achieved when the blade is perpendicular to the oncoming flow. If the water hits the blade at an angle, the disturbance and intensity of the game are reduced. Here, not the entire area of the blade works “for the game”, but only its projection, perpendicular to the flow. Therefore, despite the fact that different blades differ significantly in area, the play of their baits is approximately the same.
The configuration of the blade determines various subtleties of the behavior of the wobbler. This is a rather complex and voluminous issue, which we will touch upon only as necessary. To begin with, let's remember just a few basic points:
Now a few words about the material and method of fastening the blade. As we already know, Lauri Rapala made his first blade for a wobbler from tin. However, later it turned out that the opaque “additive” gives the bait an unnatural appearance and clearly alarms the fish.
That’s why an almost invisible plexiglass blade appeared in the water. And now almost all wobblers made of wood or polystyrene foam are equipped with a transparent blade that is glued into a special groove.
Wobbler colors
Now let's talk in general terms about the color of wobblers. There are so many coloring options for them that even experts sometimes get confused. Therefore, the question is covered in more detail in the article: Colors and colors of wobblers - how to choose the best?
In the meantime, let's look at 3 main groups: natural, exotic and combined coloring.
Natural colors completely replicate the appearance of their living prototypes. Up to 80% of lures are painted “naturally”.
The exotic colors don't even come close to resembling any real fish. However, almost all predators react to them: either out of great hunger, or out of curiosity, or defending their territory from “aliens.” Most often, exotics are rainbow, “tiger” or spotted.
There is no doubt that sometimes (as a rule, not often) the catch with wobblers of exotic colors significantly exceeds the catch with the same models of “natural” colors. However, in most cases, predators still prefer baits of familiar “native” colors.
Combined colors include both natural and exotic colors. As a rule, here bright details are applied to the natural main background, for example: a yellow back, an orange belly, a red head, contrasting dots or stripes on the sides, etc.
Returning to the overall picture, from personal experience I will say that in approximately 50% of cases the best results were given by natural colors, in 25% by combined colors and in 25% by exotic colors (lemon and red).
Oscillation frequency
Frequency is a value that shows how many oscillations a bait makes per minute.
Different spinning baits create high or low frequency vibrations. It depends on the shape of the body and the blade inserted into the nose. Wobblers come in high-frequency and low-frequency types. Pike especially loves the latter. The perch grabs the bait with quick small vibrations, similar to a fry.
Degree of buoyancy
When choosing a wobbler, you usually pay attention to size, shape and color. But buoyancy is often not noticed. Two wobblers of the same color and shape can catch differently due to the degree of buoyancy.
The degree of buoyancy is indicated on the packaging:
- Floating - such baits do not sink and are designated by the letter F;
- Suspending - these are neutrally buoyant and are designated SP;
- Sinking - these are purely sinking, designated by the letter S.
For example, a suspended minnow is suitable for cold water; it floats weakly and sinks slowly.
And fast-swimming ones are useful for active fish, because then high-speed wiring is required.
Wobbler hooks
As a rule, treble hooks are attached to the wobbler using winding rings. The size of the tees is taken approximately the same as the height of the body of the bait. Only for the “highest” wobblers can tees with a smaller “span” be used.
On small models, lightweight hooks made of thin wire are usually installed; on larger versions, standard hooks are used. Most baits are equipped with special “wobbler” tees with a short forend to avoid overloading and overloading.
Some models for “paid” trout are equipped with single and even barbless hooks.
Noise chamber
One of the varieties of wobblers are acoustic (sounding, humming, buzzing).
In the body of the bait there is a special cavity (noise chamber) filled with metal or plastic balls. When wiring, they produce sounds of different frequencies.
Some anglers claim that perch loves the noise of small balls, while pike like large ones.
Fishing with TBS
Sinking bladed compound wobblers, as a separate type of bait, have existed for a very long time. The first models appeared long before Lauri Rapala made his famous bladed wobbler, which became the progenitor of all modern lures of this class. However, despite this fact, TBS (the abbreviated name that will be used later in the article) never became very popular among spinning players. Of course, not because they are inferior in terms of catchability to lobed wobs, but because fishing for them is technically more difficult, and not understandable to everyone. But if you master the wiring technique and use TBS in the right conditions, they can truly work wonders.
Typical TBS
The first and most important thing you need to understand is the physics of the TBS operation. Bladed wobblers reach working depth thanks to the blade, which also ensures the action of the bait. It turns out that the faster the angler turns the reel handle, and the stronger the jerks, the deeper and faster the wobbler sinks. With TBS everything is exactly the opposite. The bait sinks solely under its own weight, and when the angler starts retrieving, the bait does not go even deeper, but tends to come to the surface of the water. And the faster the line guide of the reel spins, the faster the TBS float up. To maintain a constant wiring horizon, it is necessary to pause periodically. The frequency of pauses, as you understand, directly depends on the speed of rewinding...
Another important point. On fast-flowing rivers, fishing with TBS is only possible by moving them perpendicular to the flow, or directly along the flow. Driving a wobbler of this design against the current will not work, because it will be constantly pushed towards the surface.
Sinking bladeless rigs, on a uniform retrieve, have their own game, which is ensured exclusively by the segmented design. Movements in water with a uniform winding look very beautiful and impressive. One gets the full impression that this is not a plastic bait, but a real, live fish that swims imposingly in the water column. The classic version of fishing with TBS is to use a uniform. I cast it and pull it, periodically letting the wobbler sink a little and reach the working depth. Are fish attracted to such animation?! And how! But only if she is active enough. But since in our conditions, where the main object of fishing on TBS is pike, such a phenomenon as “active fish” happens extremely rarely, we have to be smart. And to be wise means to tweet
The performance of TBS on the jerk retrieve is very beautiful and incredibly realistic. The movements of the wobbler exactly copy the behavior of a wounded fish, and therefore are a powerful irritant for the predator. But if you try to run a bladeless joint with classic twitching wiring, you will find that over and over again the tees will overlap the leash. Because of this phenomenon, many spinning anglers already at the initial stages lose interest in the class of bait in question. And in vain. After all, all you need is just to pick up the key. And the key is very soft jerks with the recoil of the line, which we are all very familiar with from the practice of fishing with wolves. With this method of wiring, overlaps are practically eliminated, and the game turns out the way it should be.
Where is it best to use TBS? In my opinion, these wobblers reveal their potential best when fishing in shallow places without current. River bays, shallow areas of reservoirs, small ponds - this is the true element of TBS. You can also successfully fish with bladeless fish on rivers with weak or moderate currents. When wiring TBS, remember that they tend to sink quickly, and their hooks are completely unprotected, and if something happens, they will land on the first snag. Therefore, I really don’t recommend fishing with these baits in potentially catchy places.
Sinking bladeless baits are interesting baits that, in skillful hands and suitable conditions, can provide an unforgettable fishing experience. Therefore, I believe that at least a couple of TBS should be in every spinning player’s box. By the way, due to the absence of a blade, wobres of this class create minimal resistance when retrieved, and therefore are not at all demanding on the rod. This is such a nice bonus.
No tail, no scales.
Fishing with a wobbler depending on the type of bait
The technique of fishing with a wobbler always depends on its shape. Let's consider the main technical features of wiring, based on the type of product.
Minnow is the so-called twitching form.
Important! Twitching is a jerky style of retrieve that gives the wobbler a scouring motion, similar to the behavior of a disoriented fish.
For this style, gear with a fast action is used, and it is the spinning rod that bears the main responsibility for the competent execution of wiring with this form of bait. The wobbler is moved with short pulls of the cord using the tip of the spinning rod, making pauses of various ranges, during which the free thread is reeled in with a reel.
Trolling for succession of fats. These quickly sinking baits are capable of digging the bottom with a blade, arousing genuine interest in the predator. These representatives of the wobbler world have their own low-frequency amplitude of play in addition to a leisurely wide stroke. The predator is attracted to the wobbler by the vibration of the bait and its sound effect.
Fishing with a wobbler, for those starting their practice in this exciting direction of fishing, should begin with cranks. The reason for this priority is the well-balanced and well-balanced performance of the bait under production conditions. Conventional wiring, which is based on uniform, monotonous winding of the cord onto a reel, animates the bait quite effectively. Here, the angler’s technique is largely unimportant; selecting a wobbler to suit the preferences of the fish is the main argument for success.
The jerkbait is designed for jigging types of retrieves. Having buried the bait to a certain level of the water horizon, it is carried out in steps, varying the time of pauses when stopping. The so-called pyological jig is initially aimed at trophy specimens, which is especially pronounced in the fall. The overwhelming majority of bites occur precisely during the pause, at the moment of the slow spontaneous lowering of the jerkbait to the bottom.
The popper's wiring is oriented, as with twitching, towards jerking movements. The only difference is that the popper is driven directly along the surface of the water, and this allows you to visually control the progress of the wobbler and the moment of attack of the predator. The sound effect, the so-called squelching, and a lot of splashes provoke even a passive predator.
Uniform wiring
The technique of moving a wobbler in a uniform style is the simplest technique for animating baits in spinning fishing. Here the main role, rather as an exception, is played by the factory settings of the wobbler’s game.
Important! The spinning player must have basic skills in handling only the tackle itself; the basis of attractiveness lies in the independent play of the imitator.
The fishing technique is elementary simple. After casting and reaching the desired depth according to its parameters, the fisherman begins to reel in the line at an equal winding speed, during which, waiting for the nozzle to fail, he reacts to this event with a timely hook. For fishing in the presented style, such types of wobblers as cranks, shads, fats and some types in the form of a minnow are suitable, which have a pronounced game of their own. It is with this fishing technology that it is recommended that beginning anglers begin their first steps in spinning wobbler hunting.
Twitching and jerking
Two distinct jerking styles of fishing artificial baits are twitching and jerking. Such techniques will require the fisherman to have some knowledge and skills in mastering the technique of jerk animations. First of all, according to the style, you need to select the type of hunting tool that can realistically convey movements similar to the natural food object of a predator. Most types of minnow-shaped wobblers and all types of jerk wobblers are suitable for these purposes.
These instruments are most often suspenders, which are used to fish a certain horizon of water within strict limits, but they do not have the parameters of their own game. As a result of the animation, the angler makes a sharp movement of 30–50 cm with the rod towards himself and reels out the slack line. When jerking, the wobbler accelerates in the direction of the pull, and when reeling in, it hangs in the water column. With a sharp movement it attracts fish, and stopping the prey provokes the predator to attack.
Pumping
Pumping is often considered one of the components of twitching, animation in the stop&go style, and even evenly guiding a wobbler. When performing the simulator's move through the vertical movement of the rod from bottom to top, the spinning player forces the fishing tool to sharply change the direction of movement, changing the horizon. Wobblers of completely different types are suitable for wiring, and the execution of manipulations does not depend on whether they have the parameters of their own game. The bait attracts the predator by radically changing its trajectory.
Ripping
Ripping is the same type of twitch, but unlike pumping, here, in the style of stroke, the movement of the rod sets the vertical direction of the wobbler used for fishing. All types of baits used for twitch fishing are suitable for this kind of animation. Unlike the up-down trajectory, horizontal pulls allow you to animate the bait in one place, which facilitates fishing in tight spots, for example, in windows of vegetation or in a small space between snags or driftwood.
Stop and go
Stop and go wiring in skillful hands is universal for most species of freshwater predator.
Important! Only floating wobblers are used in this type of animation technique.
Trajectories near thickets at the junction with clean water and completely clean areas of water in the shallows above all kinds of bottom anomalies are suitable for fishing. This technique can be safely attributed to one of the varieties of uniform bait management, when the angler, after a certain number of rotational movements with the reel handle, stops the stroke, making pauses. At the moment of the pause, the bait floats up from the initial horizon, which attracts the fish, prompting the predator to attack.
According to the degree of buoyancy
Buoyancy is indicated in the characteristics of the wobbler. It is worth noting that this parameter is also ambiguous - for example, one pops up like a cork, the other slowly. But most modern manufacturers indicate buoyancy quite accurately. In addition, it can be adjusted - using special self-adhesive weights, by installing tees made of thinner or thicker wire, and so on.
- Floating wobblers. Floating
is indicated on their packaging , or the letter F is present in the model marking, for example, Zipbaits Rigge 35F. - Wobblers with neutral buoyancy, so-called suspenders. Can be distinguished by the inscription Suspending
on the packaging, or the letters SP in the labeling. These wobblers have a specific gravity equal to the specific gravity of water, and therefore, when the wiring stops, they do not float or sink, but freeze. It should be noted that the use of a leash often turns such a wobbler into a slowly sinking one. To avoid this, you should abandon additional elements such as swivels, and also remove the winding ring from the nose loop of the bait. - Sinking wobblers. They are labeled as Sinking
or S. Here we can distinguish a subcategory - slowly sinking. These are designated Slow sinking, or SS. But not all manufacturers indicate this.
As for the choice of buoyancy, floating and neutral wobblers are most optimal for a novice fisherman. The floating one can be held over obstacles, allowing it to float up. When fishing on a river, you can float it to an interesting and hard-to-reach point, and also hold it there for some time.
The suspender is optimal for wiring with pauses. Hanging in the water column, it perfectly provokes fish to attack. The advantages of sinking wobblers are, firstly, the ability to immediately sink the bait to a certain depth, and secondly, they are still somewhat heavier than their floating and neutral counterparts, and therefore fly further.

Game of sinking wobblers
As we can see, sinking wobblers can differ significantly both in design and in play. Therefore, each type is most effective for its “own” conditions. As a rule, propellers “occupy” the upper layers of water, bladed wobblers and sinking “jerks” are more often used at medium depths, and vibrating baits can handle even the lower horizons.
Propeller, blader or vib?
The propeller , like a parachute, slows down the entire bait, so it sinks quite slowly. Such wobblers do not make any sudden movements; their play is straightforward, smooth and slow. A wobbler with a propeller can be lifted almost to the surface, carried with the wave, and then allowed to sink into the depths. In this case, the body of the bait only sways slightly; the main game consists of rotating the blades. When there are two propellers, they spin in different directions. The rotation itself can be adjusted by changing the bend and inclination of the blades.
It is especially good if the propeller continues to rotate even in free fall.
But bladed sinking wobblers are similar to their floating counterparts not only in appearance, but also in play. They sway in the same appetizing manner when retrieved, imitating the movements of a wounded fish, and when jerking they make peculiar leaps, as if trying to escape from pursuit. But when stopping, alas, they behave unnaturally: they drown flat. Therefore, there are no bites on the fall here at all.
Vibrating wobblers are more versatile in all respects. They cast far, sink quickly, and work on almost any line. The combination of rapid vibrations of the body with internal noise quickly spreads in the water and attracts predators from afar. And when falling on a stretched line, such baits slide forward and down along a “natural” flat trajectory, partially maintaining their game and remaining just as attractive to a predator. Sinking jerks behave similarly. There is no need to yawn here - a bite can follow at any moment!
By the way, heavy “vibes” are practically the only wobblers that are suitable for spinning fishing deeper than 3-4 m. Even outwardly, these baits resemble typical schooling bottom fish - bream and silver bream. Therefore, if suddenly a pike, pike perch or perch does not take the “rubber” or foam rubber, “probe” all layers of water with a vibrating wobbler. Unexpected stop? This is true!
Review of sinking wobblers
The main purpose of sinking models is to conduct spinning fishing at any depth. The design of the bait, its design features and the degree of loading allow the tool to go deep enough quickly, regardless of the forces of the current. Such products go on sale under the abbreviation sinking . The difference between other simulators and sinking models is that their levels of immersion in water are limited by the properties of the material, and it is more convenient to fish with floating or suspended baits at depths not exceeding levels of three meters, the so-called shallow waters.
In some ways, sinking vobs can be considered a universal tool that allows fishing at various water levels, and with some fishing techniques, even surface fishing.
Deepening sinking wobblers
The maximum depth of the simulator in standing water is practically unlimited. After all, under its own gravity (the only question is the amount of time), a model that does not have positive buoyancy will sooner or later reach the bottom. Another thing is fishing on currents, which affects both the speed of immersion and the depth level. The tension force of the tackle cord, combined with the influence of current forces on it, will limit the possibilities of rapid deepening and sinking wobblers will not always be able to reach the bottom. This is where the design features of the bait, its shape and the size of the load begin to play a dominant role when choosing.
Important! The larger and heavier the simulator, the faster its likelihood of reaching the bottom on currents.
Small models will require a certain wiring technique to achieve optimal operating conditions and promising fishing horizons.
Blade sinking wobblers
Bladed sinking wobblers are similar in appearance to the classic bait of this direction, the working tool of which is a blade or tongue installed in the front part of the simulator. Deepening occurs to a greater extent due to the unloading of the body, which is achieved both by the bait material itself, which has negative buoyancy, and by special weights embedded in the internal insulated chambers of the product.
Some products are deepened by installing the blade at a certain angle. Depending on the density of the material and the size of the shipment, the bait reaches a certain depth in a certain amount of time, thus allowing the fisherman not only to control the levels of the retrieve, but also to determine the depth of the fished reservoir.
Jerky
The jerk bait, which is quite familiar to spinning anglers, can also be endowed with the properties of a sinking tool. These qualities are obtained by jerks due to high shipping weights. In appearance and design they are similar to jerks with positive buoyancy. Manufacturers achieve interesting variants of simulator play by manipulating the placement of the center of gravity in the body of the product.
Some models are shipped with masses shifted towards the head, resulting in play with a slight twitch in the front. The rest are loaded closer to the tail, which leads to the movements of the fish with the front part of the body raised to the top. Evenly loaded jerks demonstrate a classic stroke, the pattern of which will depend on the wiring technique.
Sinking wobblers with propeller
Models with one or two propellers located in the front and back of the bait’s body give the wobs a kind of uniform and non-aggressive play with a noise effect. The appearance of such specimens quite accurately imitates the body of a real fish. The game does not require complex wiring techniques, because the predator is played by appearance. The design features of the simulator make it possible to carry out fishing in the upper layers of water, where the tool reliably holds the horizon under resistance from the water, pushing out a slowly driven bait from the depths, the course of which is characterized by wide, but small amplitude oscillations.
Sinking wobblers for different depths
When deciding on the depth of bait placement, it is worth noting that for levels up to three meters, small models that do not have large masses are suitable. If you plan to fish at horizons of five meters and above, you need to select massive and heavy tools with bright colors. Objectively speaking, a sinking wobbler is most effective when fishing reservoirs with depths of up to five meters. Anything below this mark is more practical and convenient to catch with classic jig baits, the delivery of which to the hunting horizons is much faster, and the wiring itself is much simpler in technical terms than the animation of wobblers.
Review of the best wobblers for pike
In summer, you should take floating wobblers that can pass over aquatic vegetation, provoking the pike to emerge from it. The second important aspect when choosing a wobbler for pike is the size of the bait. The most popular models are 5-15 cm long. Efficiency also depends on the color of the bait.
When choosing a color, you need to take into account the time of day in which you plan to fish, as well as the characteristics of the reservoir, the level of water transparency, etc.
It is worth noting that most wobblers from reputable companies have an informative description that explains where and under what conditions a particular wobbler will show the best result. You can study the wobblers you like in more detail in various online stores.
It is worth giving preference to highly specialized sites that trade specifically in wobblers, for example Rapala, Yo Zuri, Megabass.
Wiring sinking wobblers
Depending on the specific model, the wiring of the bait is also selected.
Wiring wobblers-propellers
Wobblers-propellers allow not only uniform wiring, but also wavy wiring, when the bait moves at a variable speed, set by swinging the rod or uneven rotation of the reel.
And if even when falling the bait retains an attractive game, then stepped wiring becomes especially effective. After all, the “inhibited” movements of prey are in the teeth of not only the active, but also the most sluggish predator, so on unfavorable days, a wobbler with a propeller may well become a lifesaver for us.
However, the “slowness” of such baits does not allow them to sink quickly, so they are usually used in near-surface layers of water or a little deeper.
Wiring of bladed sinking wobblers
Bladed wobblers are preferable for fishing at medium depths. After all, the blade on a sinking model not only swings, but also additionally submerges the bait, so it is no longer possible to move it over the top at normal speed.
But it won’t be possible to deepen the blade too much, because when reeling in, the fishing line “lifts the nose” of the wobbler and forces it to rise higher. Therefore, in fact, bladed sinking wobblers also have their own maximum depth, determined by the design of the bait itself. For example, for different sizes of “Countdown” wobblers it is 0.6-4.2 m. And only the “Countdown Magnum” variants, due to the long blade and heavy body, work at depths of 3.0-7.5 m.
Wiring of bladed wobblers is possible only in uniform or “wavy” versions. In this case, composite baits are especially attractive.
But any falls here look unnatural, so stepped wiring is practically not used. However, if you suddenly find a sinking blade with an overloaded head, which will not fall flat, but with the desired slope, it can also be used for stepped wiring.
Wobblers for trolling for pike
First you need to find places where the predator feeds. Large pike mainly chase schools of roach, as well as perch and bream.
In summer, on reservoirs and large lakes, fishing by trolling is more effective than in autumn. In the autumn, baits that resemble roaches are suitable for fishing.
The most effective models for fishing in summer are Bomber Long A wobblers.
Salmo Hornet F 09/HP is an excellent model for catching pike with a floating wobbler. This crankbait, with a length of 90 mm, works at a depth of approximately 3 m. It catches well regardless of whether the retrieve is carried out with or against the current.
Rapala Shad Rap SR07 is suitable for fishing on large rivers with strong currents. The working depth range is 1.5-3.3 m, the model length is 70 mm. Therefore, a wobbler can interest not only pike, but also other predators. When retrieving, the bait should engage the bottom of the reservoir.
Manns Stretch 20 is a universal wobbler for hunting large fish. The length of this deep-sea wobbler is 115 mm. For pike it is most interesting at a depth of up to 6 m.
The Corsair Mamba 10M also deserves the title of a universal wobbler. The bait is characterized by stable play and a length of 100 mm.
wobbler Deep Shaker 85HG from the Tsuribito is primarily known as a good hunter for large pike perch. Working depth is 3-5 m, the length of the bait itself is 85 mm.
