Is one of the most popular types of bait designed for hunting predatory fish.

It is characterized as a solid, volumetric lure used for spinning, trolling and trolling. The purpose of the wobbler is to imitate a wounded victim trying to escape from a predator.

The secret of success

In 1894, the American James Heddon, thanks to his observations of perches that attacked wood shavings that accidentally fell into the reservoir, became the first inventor of the wobbler. Already in April 1902, James acquired a patent for his first invention. And so his own company came about.

To date, the number of manufacturing brands has increased significantly, which certainly pleases anglers, since the choice is very extensive: models of the latest sample, modern design, unique materials for making lures, an expanded range of color shades.

The secret of the wobbler's success, first of all, lies in its ability to successfully imitate the movements of a real bait, which is beyond the control of lures and jig lures.

For example, floating models of wobblers after casting stay on the water. Only when it begins to rewind the fishing thread (line) does the bait sink, which activates it.

This feature of the wobbler's work allows you to fish hard-to-reach places previously inaccessible to other types of artificial baits, using both high-speed and slow wiring. Another advantage of the floating wobbler is its flow along the stream. Since or a jig lure directly depends on the weight of the lure, the strength and direction of the wind, the diameter of the line and other equally important factors, the casting distance is significantly limited.

Using a floating wobbler, you can release it from yourself to the full length of the fishing line. This technique is very convenient for throwing under low overhanging bushes and tree branches above the water.

General classification

In recent years, there has been an increase in the range of wobblers for any color and taste.

However, in order to choose a quality bait, it is recommended to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• buoyancy - when you stop wiring, it is very important how it behaves in an upright position;
• immersion (work horizon);
• appearance;
• features of behavior on the water surface;
• weight;
• the size.

Varieties of wobblers according to their degree of ascent

Depth classification when wiring (work horizon)

1. The SSR (Super Shallow Runner) mark indicates a fairly shallow depth when the wobbler is practically on the water surface.
2. The SR (Shallow Runner) mark indicates shallow deepening.
3. The DD (Deep Diver) marking indicates a high submersion of the wobbler.
4. DR (Deep Runner) marking - analogue of Deep Diver.
5. SDR (Super Deep Runner) marking - able to dive a little deeper than DR and DD wobblers.
6. The XDD (Extra Deep Diver) mark indicates the maximum diving of the wobbler.

So, from all the variety, the main types of wobblers can be distinguished:

• Floating (floating);
• Sinking (sinking);
• Suspend (balanced in the water column, that is, they do not sink or float);
• Deep (deep);
• Shallow (superficial).

All additional attachments are used to determine the enhanced properties of the baits.

Varieties of bait shape

Surface wobblers fall into the following categories:

1. Crawler- the original design solution allows the bait to rotate in different directions due to the existing wide blade, which is effective when fishing in reservoirs with a large area of ​​vegetation. The wobbler is equipped with an internal hook pointing upwards, with the help of which the bait can be controlled directly in the thickets.
2. Stickbait- has no blades, in appearance it can be compared with a stick. Behavior changes depending on the wiring method.
3. - means "button". Distinguishing feature: a cut nose and a medium-sized indentation.
4. Walker- there are no blades, during wiring moves from side to side.
5. Cicada- imitation of insects, frogs and various rodents.
6. Propper- is considered an intermediate form of the model, it is distinguished by the presence of a kind of propeller that creates a breaker. When posting, such rotating movements interest the fish, which is beneficial for the catch.

Varieties of recessed wobblers:

It is difficult to choose one species from the whole variety, and it is not necessary. There should be different models in the angler's arsenal.: the bigger, the better. Then the result will not be long in coming.
