Wobblers
By Hasse Hansen in Fishing | 0 comments
One of the most regular baits that are in use today is the wobbler. It is truly an interesting bait to fish with, and everyone who even has a vague plan of fishing in the future would have interest in hearing what it is an how it works.
Wobblers are a type of bait that tries to imitate a fish that are injured. They usually have a look that resembles that of a real fish very closely.
The thing that makes wobblers special is the spoon they have in front. The spoon, or guiding spoon, is what decides at what dept the wobbler will swim. It also has some effect on the “wobbly” motion of the bait.
As wobblers have shown that they can catch just about any kind of fish, a lot of companies have started to produce their own variants. The brand of wobblers that most people have heard of is Rapala. They are rightly credited as the creators of wobblers, and have a long history of producing them.
For simplicity wobblers are often split into three different categories. They are called suspending, sinking and floating wobblers. They all have their own special fields and should be used in different situations.
A floating wobbler is a lure that usually sinks when pulled in and floats up when you don’t have any pressure on it. Pike fishermen love floating wobblers because they work great in shallow water.
A sinking wobbler is also used quite often. It is a lure that gives the fisherman an opportunity to reach deep water. It sinks when no pressure is on it and rises when reeled in or pulled.
A suspending wobbler is bait who has the same density as water. This means that it neither floats up nor sinks when lying still in the water. Whether it floats or sinks when reeled in depends on the angle of the spoon in the front.
