10 best wobblers for pike - an overview of popular models
With it, you can catch fish much more than a lure, but you can not catch anything.
This is because this bait is not at all universal. In each specific situation, some specific conditions must correspond to their models of "wobblers".
Be sure to take into account the depth of the reservoir, the speed of the current, the bottom, the transparency of the water, the type of bait, its color, the type of fish you want to see on your table, and many other circumstances. For example, it does not make sense to catch a small fast “fish” in a deep-sea river with a serious current.
To put it bluntly, the “wobbler” is a rather specific bait. Working with it is noticeably more difficult than with any spinner. True, the spinner does not have the ability to obey the fisherman, it moves arbitrarily - the spinner can only rotate the reel.
"Wobler" is fully controlled by the angler. The spinner, on the other hand, has a given game - it rotates, or it oscillates (by bending the edges, it will not be possible to significantly change the game). "Wobbler" can do extremely complex tricks. After casting, the lure immediately falls to the bottom, at the same time the "wobbler" floats.
Naturally, it is not so easy to throw a “fish” made of wood, weighing several grams, in this regard, a metal lure is much better. If you get the hang of it, then the wobbler can be thrown far enough. It is only important to train. Some manage to throw it further than 150 m.
Classification
As for the classification, these devices mainly differ in their degree of buoyancy, as well as in shape. Let's consider the main ones.
Let's start with buoyancy:
- F - floating. These wobbler models will not sink in water until it is completed. During the wiring, due to the presence of the blade in front, the wobbler sinks a little. But upon termination of the wiring, it immediately goes to the surface.
- FF is product speed. In order to make this wobbler descend to the required depth, it is required to make a high rate of wiring, after the end of the wiring it will quickly pop up.
- SF - pop up slowly. In terms of their buoyancy, they are extremely close to the previous subcategory. They can go deep with not so slow wiring, in addition, they do not emerge so quickly when stopped.
- SP- models of wobblers that have neutral buoyancy. These baits float on the surface, but you can also make them hang at a depth.
Now let's look at subdivision by size:
Minnow
This is a little from English. With their design, these wobblers are really similar to white fish fry. They have a slender, elongated shape. Often they are used when fishing on the surface of the reservoir.
Shad
This wobbler, if you look at it from afar, is very similar in appearance to herring. It is larger and very flat.
Fat
The wobbler model is similar in shape to a drop. It is smaller than a minnow and bulky.

ZipBaits Rigge 90F
The most common wobbler from the "fry" class. Very light and small. But due to the special shape of the hull, it has simply unrealistic flight properties. That is why you will have to overpay a little, the wobbler costs about 800 rubles.

ZipBaits Orbit 110SP
This model has become the best because of its high efficiency. After looking at many reviews and comparisons, you will understand that this is so. It costs about 800 rubles, but this is a justified price.
If you are planning with a wobbler, then choose those that have little buoyancy, and the balance is noticeably shifted to the center or to the tail. These wobblers have a very interesting controllability during wiring.
Continuing to choose a wobbler, do not forget to pay attention to the dimensions. They may vary depending on the type of models, but approximately no more than 25. Choose a wobbler in size, starting from. The most popular among spinningists are wobblers that are in the range from 5 to 15 centimeters.
In particular, it is difficult to choose a lure that matches the color of the wobbler, which will become the most catchy.
You can easily experiment, taking into account the depth of fishing, weather conditions, seasons, or you can simply remember these rules on how to choose the shade of a wobbler before catching pike:
- Use wobblers in light colors, as well as silver shades, if the day is clear and you are fishing in a transparent reservoir in shallow water.
- Use the blue wobbler on a sunny fine day when catching pike at a significant depth.
- Gold-colored wobblers are used on a dark cloudy day, during rain.
- Variegated and fluorescent wobblers are used in cloudy water.
For fishing at great depths, diving models of wobblers are used. They can quickly dive to the desired depth.
The sizes of such models are selected according to the value of probable production. They can be used in places where you need to quickly reach the bottom and there is not much time. They will pass perfectly in the intervals of water lilies, among the algae.
On a diving wobbler, predators are caught at a depth. The hauling is carried out by continuous rotation of the reel so that the bait constantly moves on the bottom, or even moves along it, at the same time creating the necessary cloudy cloud.
This method is suitable for zander fishing. You can also make a quick reel and release the fishing line with a wobbler. It moves up and down, and this will provoke the fish to attack. The efficiency of fishing will increase significantly.
