Halco wobblers: models, characteristics and how to choose

Spinning fishing using wobblers is the most popular way to catch various predatory fish, and some baits also catch peaceful fish species. Wobblers are a voluminous plastic bait that imitates a small fry. In fishing, according to the method of use and fishing depth, shallow-water, deep-water and trolling wobblers are distinguished. The Halco product range includes models of all types, adapted for different depths and fishing seasons.

Content

All Halco trolling wobblers are equipped with high-quality Mustard hooks with chemically sharpened blades. Mostly models have a removable head part, which provides access to the internal cavity of the bait. Wobblers for trolling "Halko" are distinguished by realistic action and attractive sounds that lure predators from a great distance. Most of the models are presented in very bright colors, which provoke active predators to a sharp and greedy attack.

The Halko trolling wobblers feature realistic play and attractive sounds.

Model range of Halco wobblers

We have compiled a rating of the best Halco wobblers, which have earned great popularity in domestic fishing conditions.

Laser Pro

Halco Laser Pro wobblers are one of the best lures in the world of trolling. Laser Pro series trolling wobblers perform well when fishing at any speed. They have a shifted center of gravity, which during casting leads to a perfectly flat trajectory. Still, fishermen recommend focusing on low speed when choosing the best fishing; predators respond well to active play even at slow speed. They are excellent at fishing in deep places and are often used in the hunt for trophy specimens.

Poltergeist

Halco Poltergeist wobblers are presented in a number of models with slight differences, mainly in colors and sizes. The most popular wobbler Halco Poltergeist 80 R33 - with a length of 80 mm, weighs 17 g, has a floating type and is suitable for fishing at a depth of about 5 m. The color of the R33 is one of the most successful in domestic reservoirs. The back is outlined in brown, merging into a marbled belly. It has a strongly arched back in the center.

The models can be fished by trolling and casting; they receive a vertical direction of movement, due to which they quickly sink to the desired depth. Ideal for fishing in vegetation windows and small holes.

There are 3 main types of Halco Poltergeist baits:

wobbler “Halko Poltergeist POL50”: 5 cm, 7 g, equipped with two tees. Immersion depth – up to 3 m;
model POL80: 80 mm, 17 g, 2 hooks from Mustand. The wobbler “lives” at a depth of 5-7 m;

Night Walker

Halco Night Walker wobblers look a lot like a small mouse and somewhat resemble a frog. They have forked blades that imitate the movements of the paws. Thanks to the splashes in the water, fish come from afar to see what has fallen into the water. The “night tramp” model is intended for fishing in the dark. To increase the efficiency and quality of biting in the dark, the developers added backlighting to the blades. Glow is achieved by adding phosphorus.

If this model runs out of light, you can simply recharge it with a flashlight, car headlight, or phone.

Sorcerer

The Halco Sorcerer wobbler is called the “Wizard” in Russian, and indeed, the bait sometimes “works wonders”, attracting passive and cautious trophies. The Halko Wizard wobbler has built-in balls that create noise during movement that attracts prey. The model is equipped with an original blade from the same manufacturer, which is characterized by high strength and durability. The Halco Sourcer wobbler can withstand strong impacts from a hard bottom or driftwood.

It is a good choice for fans of casting, but goes well with the “track”. When fishing in a body of water with sharp changes in depth or a snagged bottom, with this wobbler it is easy to avoid getting caught by slightly loosening the line tension. The special tail design helps prevent snagging.

If you plan to troll on a speedboat, it is better to remove the tee on the belly, which increases water resistance and knocks the bait out of alignment. An important advantage is the device of a replaceable blade, which in case of damage can be easily replaced by opening a special lock. The kit immediately comes with two types of blades: one is used for regular fishing, and the second is for fishing at great depths. Thus, the bait is universal and combines the qualities of two wobblers at the same time.

Review of the best Halko wobblers

Sorcerer - the most popular model range of wobblers has more than 40 bright colors. A special feature is the position of the hooks, and there are three of them. These wobblers are neither too quiet nor loud.

If you want to make wiring faster, then remove the middle tee. An important factor is the low probability of snagging and 3 replaceable blades for different depths. When purchasing, you can consider that you have become the owner of three different baits.

Combat

This model is good for trolling or casting. The wobbler is light, but with great depth. The bait plays very attractively in the water and makes an excellent noise.

If you get caught, simply lower the line and raise the fishing rod as high as possible, thereby the wobbler will be able to overcome the obstacle itself, and the snag can be avoided.

Rellik Doc

“COD Killer - cod killer” - this is the name the company gave to the new model. This model also won the Australian Murray Cod competition.

The movement of the bait is slow, but with a fairly wide amplitude of oscillation. Due to the wide variety of colorings, you will have to do a lot of testing and testing in the water to find the right one.

Night Walker

In Russian, “night tramp” fully lives up to its name and behaves freely and uninhibitedly. The model itself looks like a mouse or even a frog. The blades are forked and because of this the bait splashes water.

At first it was intended that the Night Reveler would only be effective at night, which is why it has an illuminated blade. If the backlight goes out, then you can simply charge it with light from a headlight, flashlight, or even a flash.

Laser Pro 45

This model will perform better in casting. You can use jerks or a simple retrieve, or you can pause after each jerk. Before starting the actual wiring, let the bait fall much deeper and start wiring.

Laser Pro 190 - The wobbler is equipped with two tees, tightly attached to the belly of the bait. A durable blade ensures daring play of the bait under water in any retrieve. But when trolling, a slow speed is recommended.

Hamma

This Australian fish differs from the rest in its bold and jerky movements and wounded color. The bait comes with several replaceable plastic blades, which allows you to diversify the types of retrieves and games. And also, Hamma has a special system for transferring weight back, which allows you to make an accurate cast.

Roosta Popper - it’s time to grab the last interesting and popular popper. It was developed using the latest technologies. When retrieving, the bait emits specific “gurgles”. The popper can be thrown over long distances thanks to the additional weight in the tail section. Like all poppers, the Rosta makes splashes and noise over the water.

Tips and tricks for choosing

It is important for a fisherman to understand on what basis to base his choice of wobbler. To help with this task, here are some useful tips:

surface wobblers are used for fishing in shallow water; such models have a chaotic game. Almost all models have internal pellets that create noise to attract the attention of prey. The models are most effective in spring, when many predators approach the shore in search of warm water saturated with fry. We recommend choosing “Night Walker” and “Wizard”;
An interesting series of poppers that lie on the surface of the water in a horizontal position, with their bellies touching the water surface, and the hooks remain on top. They are effective when fishing in snags and overgrown areas. Popper series – Roosta Popper;
Slowly sinking wobblers are effective for catching small predators: perch, chub, asp. Models of this class are available in the Laser Pro series. To attract perch, it is better to jerk the retrieve with short pauses;
It is externally easy to determine the degree of immersion of the bait. As the size of the blade increases, the level of immersion naturally increases.
