Summer is a good time to catch chub. Cautious, cunning fish rises to the surface and comes closer to the shore. It feeds on fry, fallen into the water bugs. Hunting for this “conditional” predator is a gambling process. Love chub fishing for a powerful bite, which is called “give the spinning”. You can find a burrowing underwater inhabitant, starting from small rivers and ending with fast sections of reservoirs. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, for example, in the southern districts.
Choose places with a strong current, rolls, where the golavl feels himself a complete master. The bait can be thrown near underwater anomalies, pits, submerged logs. Float under overhanging trees and bushes. Spinning for catching chub should be light. Reel – with a smooth friction and accurate adjustment. If the brake gives slack, the break is guaranteed.
Golavl does not tolerate fuss in wiring. And requires complete silence. Without knocking on the bottom of the boat or moving along the shore like an elk. However, without a properly selected bait to comply with all these conditions is not enough. We surveyed anglers to make a list of the best wobblers for chub. Of course, different fishermen have their own favorites. The catchability of the lure is learned in practice. But the opinion of people with experience is always worth listening to.
Kashitsin Ivan. He has been fishing for chub for more than 10 years.
For rivers with a good current and the possibility of meeting trophy catfish, I would single out two lures. From the classics – Yo-Zuri L-minnow 44, from novelties – Golden Mean Hellion in all three depths. According to my personal experience, such a combination of vibration frequency, noisiness (or rather, its absence as such) and stubbornness, as in Hellion and L-minnow, very well provokes big minnow. Plus, both models have excellent flight characteristics. My deep conviction is that in the arsenal of any minnow angler should be present both sinking and floating lures. This pair perfectly complements each other. L-minnow 44 – sinking, Hellion – floating.
If we talk about smaller rivers, then here it is worth noting a series of baits Smith Camion. And especially Camion Magnum SSR. These wobblers do not need any unnecessary representations for a long time. Well, and, so to speak, in a couple of them will be a good fit wobblers series Tsuribito Baby Crank, which has also sinking models.
Dmitry Chibirev. He has been fishing for more than 8 years.
I can note two models. Wobbler PaniCra (manufacturer Jackall Timon) for those places in which I use it, has two pluses. It is very stable holds the stream and, thanks to single hooks with small beards, very rarely clings to the grass.
Smith Camion. This wobbler perfectly catches not only chub. That is why I use it most often where others are silent. It has good flight characteristics and stable game. And when using a thin cord, the lure dives deeper.
One of these wobblers, specifically for me, has only the rear tee, which has a feather down. Thanks to this, there are fewer snags. And perch, for example, began to attack it more often and more accurately.
Nikolay Rybakov. Experience in fishing 5 years.
Yo-Zuri L-Minnow, considered a classic on such fishing I have not yet been able to catch. But Jackall Chubby – only in the way, or rather in the mouth. And, in all modifications: SSR is suitable for the smallest and fastest sites. SR is universal, while DR v DD-versions perfectly pull out redfin, pressed to the bottom. Small-sized crankbaits this not quite 100% predator even likes very much. Moreover, the wiring does not require much skill – threw the wobbler in the place of the expected parking and lead yourself evenly, but do not hurry.
After even a cursory review of the hit parades of plastic baits can be allocated more Lucky Craft Clutch and Incubator Drop. Many anglers praise them, but I have not tried them myself (although in the plans for purchases are in the first positions). And minnows should not be overlooked, for example, Crack Jack from Pontoon 21 – the same “fruit”.
As you can see, regarding some models, the opinions of fishermen agree. But everyone also takes into account the conditions in the place of fishing and other factors. From the experts of Spinningline we offer our top list.
- Smith Camion
- Yo-Zuri/Duel L Minnow
- Renegade Baby Chub
- Kosadaka Roger
- Lucky Craft Clutch
- Tsuribito Baby Crank
- Golden Mean Hellion
- Fishycat iCat
- Jackall Chubby
- Sprut Uni Crank

We hope that beginners after reading this article, the chances of picking up and buying a catching wobbler on the chub will be many times more.
One thing to keep in mind: this fish itself is “sporty” and it is unlikely that its meat will turn out to be a culinary masterpiece. So let go red-feathered beauty after catching, because returning to the same place, there will be a chance to again enjoy a powerful blow and squealing friction. And the next time you will unmistakably determine exactly HIS bite.

I totally agree with the hype around chub wobblers! I had a day out fishing with my buddies, and those wobblers were on fire. The chub were just biting like crazy! Definitely gonna stock up for our next trip. Can’t wait to hit the water again!
Absolutely, chub wobblers are game-changers! I remember a fishing trip where I switched to them on a whim, and the fish were practically competing to bite. It’s amazing how one good tool can turn a slow day into an epic catch. Can’t wait to hear about your next adventure!
I totally get that! I had a similar moment with lures during a trip last summer. Switched to a bright color, and boom! The fish went wild. It’s wild how a simple change can make such a difference. I’ll definitely share my next fishing stories—stay tuned!
