Hur man väljer en wobbler

Recently, the interest of our fishermen in hard plastic lures, which are called “wobblers”, has grown noticeably. Looking at the counters of stores, the eyes run away from the huge range of different manufacturers, models and colors. It is in this situation, many face the problem of what to choose specifically for themselves and under certain conditions. And at the same time to find the best option, taking into account all the nuances. What wobbler to buy?

Often the fisherman when choosing a wobbler relies on the shape of the bait, size and color. There is a lot of information on this subject, in this case we would like to look at the problem of choice from a different angle. Of course, advanced spinningists have long been successfully applying such recommendations, but what should a beginner do?

The first thing to do is to determine a few important points:

1. What kind of fish is planned to catch and its expected size.
2. In what conditions will be fishing (river, lake, shore, boat).
3. Time of year and time of day.

Catching pike on wobblers

In order to understand how to choose a wobbler for fishing, let’s consider several situations on the example of the most familiar for most spinningists pike. If the catch is planned from the shore in reservoirs with standing water, then the most catchable will be wobblers of the class “minnow”, assuming twitching animation, in sizes from 90 to 110 mm. Depth should be selected so that it corresponds to the depth of the reservoir. As a rule, for such conditions is usually enough for 1 – 1.5 m, because the catch occurs along the reeds or in the windows of lily pads. If the reservoir can be classified as a “toadstool”, ie heavily overgrown with vegetation and shallow enough, then in such a place will be suitable for surface poppers, volkers or plastic frogs with a closed hook. As a rule, all topwaters have a good range and allow from one point to cover vast areas.

For boat fishing in deeper places, it is fair to hope for trophy specimens. Here with the size of baits shallow is not worth it: 130 mm and more will be just right. You can also increase the depth to 3 and more meters. At greater depths are very good wobblers class “krenk” and “dip-minnow”. The degree of buoyancy should be chosen based on the conditions of fishing and the time of year. As a rule, in late fall, when the water cools down and the fish becomes very sluggish, requires a large pause. Consequently, and wobbler is necessary with neutral buoyancy. Yes, and in other situations, the suspender helps to passive predator. If the predator is walking and actively feeding, then at this point its potential is revealed floating models. In addition, they are easier to spend on complex, overgrown and shoaled places. Just let them float and drag them over the obstacle.

Catching pikeperch on wobblers

Let’s move on to the pikeperch. As a rule, most of us are used to catching pikeperch from great depths on jigs and spaced montages, but the most emotional catching comes after sunset. At night fang “wolves” come out to hunt on shoals and rolls. And for such a battle the optimal choice is a wobbler. Here you should pay attention to small models of “minnow”, “shad” or “krenk” in sizes from 40 to 90 mm. You can use and larger ones. It all depends on the preferences of fish, which are identified directly on the spot and can change during one fishing trip. On the depth it is best to pick up such a model, so that it occasionally touched the bottom with the blade. It is worth noting that the loss of baits in this case will increase, but the number of bites will increase significantly. Since the specifics of catching night pikeperch involves very slow wiring, the most optimal degree of buoyancy will be neutral or close to it. It is also worth paying attention to such a parameter as a system of long-range throwing. Often the ability to get the bait to the fish is a key success factor. If the fishing takes place in late fall, when the fish rolls to great depths, in the winter holes, then from the shore to get to such places is problematic. But in the case of a boat, everything is easier. In this situation, preference should be given to the deepest models with a depth of more than four meters and with neutral buoyancy. On the size of shallow too is not worth it, pikeperch at this time is very active and feeds intensively. Even small pikeperch attack wobblers with themselves in size.

Catching perch on wobblers

In catching perch to choose a wobbler for fishing is quite simple. Here the main thing is to get into the size and the correct depth. Usually it is minnow, sheads or crankbaits in size from the smallest to 90 – 100 mm. It all depends on the size of the expected catch. Also show themselves very well small poppers and walkers. They work best on the cauldron perch, which feeds on the surface or at zorya, when it is still light, but the sun is over the horizon. In the case of surface baits you are provided with a very spectacular and exciting catch. On the dip is usually a model, going to the level of 1 – 1.5 m. Perch better reacts not to what he is offered, and how this “something” plays. Striped – a very venturesome and curious fish. And if you pick up the right key to them in the game with the bait, the amount of catch can pleasantly surprise.

Catching golawl on wobblers

Next, let’s talk about baits on the white predator. What wobbler to buy for golavl? Golavl is considered a conditionally predatory fish and is best caught on baits imitating various insects, in particular bugs. Although fry also come to the taste of this robber and are an integral part of the diet. But the size in both cases should be small. In the hunt for redfin well established themselves small crankbaits and minnows. Here, special attention should be paid to the performance characteristics of the wobbler in difficult current conditions. The way it holds the stream, whether it is not disrupted from the game. After all, when fishing for chub and other whitefish often have to fish in a strong current. In this case, the wiring techniques used can greatly affect the game of the bait, and if it is knocked down, the performance will be sharply deteriorated. On the expanses of the Internet you can find a large number of videos with practical advice on how to conduct these or those baits.

Catching studs on wobblers

To hunt for, perhaps, the most cautious predator in our area under the name of gutter, it is worth proceeding first of all from the two most important characteristics of the bait. Firstly, it should be long-range enough, because the stud is almost never close to himself. And secondly, this bait should be compact enough. Zherekh reacts best to baits in sizes from 40 to 80 mm. In addition, the main places of catching are located on shallow rolls with a very strong current. For such conditions, the most suitable will be sinking sticks or floating walkers. But other models of wobblers, such as minnows eller crankbaits no one canceled. Final preferences depend on the specific conditions in the place of catching.

Finally, let’s say a few words about the choice of color bait. Here disputes among fishermen have not subsided since the appearance of the first artificial baits. And the truth to this day is not visible even on the horizon. The most logical is to make a choice depending on the illumination and transparency of water. The clearer the water, the better natural, discreet colors work. In a bright sunny day – dark. And in cloudy weather or dirty water – bright, provoking acidity. The main thing is to choose the coloring so that the wobbler was visible to fish in any transparency of water, but at the same time do not scare it away too aggressive coloring.

Slutsats

In conclusion, it is worth adding that the above methods of choosing wobblers can be applied in any conditions and for catching completely different fish, from perch to trout. But it is necessary to realize that for each individual case, everything can be exactly the opposite.

And most importantly – it is better to buy one wobbler that catches in a certain place, under specific conditions, than a dozen for all occasions and do not know where and how to apply them.
