14 best winter spinners

How to choose a catchy winter lure

Despite the fact that winter fishing from the hole is the prerogative of not all countries producing bait, the market is overflowing with specialized spinner models. Not every experienced angler can make the right, and in every respect a competent choice, and for beginners the buying process becomes a real lottery at all. In order to avoid mistakes and not to waste money, we recommend paying priority attention to the following aspects:

View spinners. It's no secret that special vertical lures are used for sheer luster. However, within this category also has its own division. All verticals are divided into:

1. nailing - practically does not deviate from the hole when animating, have good accuracy and are mainly used for fishing at great depths;
2. those who plan - have significant amplitudes of deviations from the plumb position, resemble a darting fry and catch mainly in the upper depth horizons.

When fishing for perch, it is preferable to choose planners of lures, while for zander (and another deep-water predator) it is more expedient to go with nailing bait.

The center of gravity. From the position of the center of gravity very much depends on the game of the spinner, which consists in the behavior during the swing and subsequent lowering of the bait to the nominal level. Traditionally, there are three options for the location of this center:

1. Bottom - provided with a different amplitude game of lures when deviating from the axis of the hole;
2. in the middle - the bait occupies an almost perfect horizontal position and rotates attractively without deviating from the axis;
3. from above - the rarest, but at the same time the most “lively” type of location of the center of mass, forcing the lure to write out unimaginable pirouettes. Neither perch, nor perch, nor pike, nor other frequently caught fish can resist the game of such models.

View and fastening of the hook. Winter fishing from the hole is unique in that it gives anglers the right to freely choose the configuration of both the lures themselves and its accompanying accessories. There are four options for hooks on verticals:

1. soldered single hook;
2. rigidly fixed tee (rarely double);
3. suspension hook (single, double or triple);
4. hanging hook on a metal chain.

Each of these options gives the spoon more useful properties, but also has its own characteristic vulnerabilities.

The best winter baubles on a perch

Nils master hanski

Rating: 4.9

The leader in consumer rating, Hanski’s winter lure was developed in close collaboration with Nils Master with a group of professional anglers performing at prestigious world championships. Enlisting such powerful support, manufacturers promptly determined the most optimal dimensions of the models, colors and features of the contour for productive games in the water column.Presented lures received a length of 35, 50, 60 and 75 millimeters, each of which has its limits of applicability. However, they all have a common feature - too tempting to look for a brisk perch. Without a ratio of its own size to the size of an artificial "victim", a small impudent predator rushes at lightning attack, barely seeing the primary luring elements. These include highlights created by a smooth surface and a bright drop on the Owner's tee.

Fishermen recommend animating the Nils Master Hanski winter lure with short, low-amplitude twitchings of the fishing rods with a gradual rise to the top and discharge. Such a game can attract not only an active predator, but also stir up sedentary individuals. The price parameter of the spinners carries it to the segment of expensive baits, but the money spent on the purchase will definitely pay off.

Kuusamo Kilpa-Loiste

Rating: 4.8

Extremely beautiful winter lure Kilpa-Loiste from the Finns from Kuusamo got into the rating by no means by chance, becoming the most productive piece of equipment for winter hunting for brisk perch. With a length of 3.5 centimeters, its weight is only 3 grams, which provides a slow dive of the bait to a depth with a large amplitude of drift. Such movements are rarely seen by fish, but with a favorable combination with color design, the situation changes radically. The symbiosis of gold finish (pink or natural) and reflective film creates an amazing play of light on the spoon, even in conditions of limited lighting due to the thickness of the ice. On the Kilpa-Loiste tee, two rubber rings are attached, designed to add models of the defiant look and orient the predator to the site of attack.

It is noteworthy that with such a performance, the spinner hardly crosses the threshold of the middle price segment. Her purchase is unlikely to greatly affect your financial condition, but there are a lot of useful dividends.

Rapala harja

Rating: 4.8

According to the manufacturer himself, the winter vertical lure Rapala Hajra is a private modification of the Arkku model, which has a slow and smooth play with elements of soaring in the water column. Accompanied by the production of a single hook from the VMC, through a chain connected to the body of the spoon. It has three overall dimensions in the series: 5.5, 7 and 8.5 centimeters, which corresponds to 6.7 and 14 grams of weight.

According to users, all variants of Rapala Harja have a pronounced sharpness for catching grayling, pike and perch of various degrees of fineness. And on the pond they shoot all the color options that are only available in the company's assortment (solid-colored silver lures and combinations of silver with copper and gold). Opinions differ on the cost, however, unlike the 6 Hop-Mes, the average price tag is almost two times lower. In general, the Harja winter lure appears to be an excellent model, especially in comparison with competing lures.

Kuusamo SIIPI-LEIJA

Rating: 4.7

One of the few winter spinners from Kuusamo, which is still hand-made to this day, is a worthy contender for being the best winter bait for perch.It differs from its competitors by non-trivial appearance, non-standard movement and actual uniqueness, since it does not have any serious analogue on the market. In the upper part of the SIIPI-LEIJA there are two glider wings that serve as a kind of balancer. When immersed to a depth of water resistance causes the lure to sway from side to side, and the wings add amplitude to these movements, wholly riveting the attention of predators from all around. In addition, the luring effect has a red spot in the tail, imitating a wound on the body of the spoon.

Kuusamo Leija comes in versions 50, 70 and 90 millimeters in length, with a weight of 6.10 and 15 grams, respectively. All of them are more or less suitable for winter perch fishing, but they are equally good at handling pike and pikeperch. The cost does not hit hard on the wallet, and therefore the most scrupulous consumers can buy a lure.

Kalamies 6 Hop-Mes

Rating: 4.6

The next line of the rating goes to the 6 Hop-Mes aesthetic and gorgeous vertical spinner from Kalamies. Having been on the market for more than ten years, she managed to gain popularity from professional anglers, who rely on the correct work of the bait in the water in various variants of vertical movement. With a length of 6 centimeters, Hop-Mes has a considerable mass, which makes it possible to go deeper into horizons up to 8 meters. Yes, catching perch at a similar depth is at least not rational, but no one counted this bait in the category of “exclusively perch”. It perfectly carries both a pike perch, and a pike, and other deep-water predator, thereby beating off its value.

By the way about the price tag. In many ways, precisely because of him, Kalamies 6 Hop-Mes is practically not found among beginners from fishing. Anyone who wants to buy this spoon to his collection will have to pay at least 800 rubles. However, you can be sure that such serious expenses for bait are able to triple themselves in the beginning.

Rapala Bergman BWB030 SG

Rating: 4.5

The Rapala Bergman BWB030 SG was also recognized as a very old but reliable “fighter” with bass and a small pike. Lacking the grace of Lucky John Scandi and the aestheticism of Kalamies spinners, she has an excellent provocative movement, with a slight twitch, imitating exactly the chaotic throwing of fry in a limited space. With a long movement with a fishing rod, this winter bauble does move a considerable distance from the hole, thereby demonstrating imaginary independence from other people's manipulations. For greater predator provocation, the tee of the lure has a bright red drop that serves as a target for a targeted, accentuated and smashing attack.

Rapala Bergman BWB030 SG winter spinners line includes 6 spinners, the length range of which varies from 30 to 80 millimeters (and weight - from 4 to 17 grams, respectively). For fishing perch, in the case, each of them is suitable, but with a slight restriction on the size of the prey itself in the fished water reservoir. The cost also looks a bit overpriced, especially in relation to visual scarcity, but it quickly pays off in the first days of fishing.

Lucky John Scandi

Rating: 4.5

The classic Scandinavian-type spinners line, which deserves to be included in the rating due to the manufacturers' spot work on the smallest aspects of the game in all the variety of models. Includes several variations of baits with a single crochet on a leash or a tee with a bright three-colored drop in the middle. When diving to depth, it plans and sways with a small amplitude, which actively attracts even a passive predator.

According to users, the most suitable Scandi model for catching perch is a 3.5-centimeter tee variation weighing 6.7 grams, capable of widely varying depth to search for active humpback whale. In terms of cost, such a model leaves out virtually all competitors, paying off already during the first productive fishing.

The best winter spinners on zander

HALCO OUTCAST

Rating: 4.9

Halco Outcast's fluctuating winter lure has hit the leading position in the ranking is not by accident, for it is played in its favor by both the cost issue and all related technical characteristics. Visually, the metal model is a full fry of fish, with a characteristic impression of relief on the side surfaces, realistic 3D eyes and color (both neutral and provoking). One type of spinners becomes enough to seriously interest the predator, which often becomes the pike perch and other deep-sea inhabitants.

In the overall dimensions of the representatives of the Outcast series, the main emphasis was placed on a precise ranking of lures by weight. The most popular for pike perch continues to use the 20-gram model - the smallest in the line and the most pliable for sheer luster. From the point of view of users, it is she who is the flagship of the Outcast and only in it can you find the perfect combination of price and quality.

Kuusamo SIMFONIA

Rating: 4.8

As practice shows, in matters of the appearance of spinners, the company Kuusamo adheres to the strictly designated principle of minimalism. Its next representative in the form of a SIMFONIA model very much resembles the previously considered SERENADI, but it still has a number of characteristic differences for a number of signs. Discarding thoughts about the smooth contour of the contour, the manufacturer took up the creation of an angular profile with characteristic active animation with sheer sheen. The immersion of SIMFONIA to the depth is accompanied by a changeable game, replacing the planning for vibration and chaotic yaw. To miss such a spectacle is not capable of any self-respecting predator.

The main similarity of this winter lure with SERENADI lies in the plane of overall dimensions and colors. With a universal body length of 6 centimeters and 9 grams of weight, SIMFONIA becomes a tasty prey for large and small fish, such as pike-perch and pike. Other things being equal, this winter lure looks more preferable than its “brother” by the manufacturer ... even despite the unclosed problem of an unsuitable hook.

Kuusamo SERENADI

Rating: 4.8

Another representative of Finnish producers in the face of Kuusamo SERENADI is a very remarkable vertical lure, striking in its clumsy and, nevertheless, phenomenal demand among river predators.The profile of this “wand” entirely resembles the appearance of a classic wobbler minnow, as well as in its habits when working in a reservoir. Continuously penetrating to the desired horizon, SERENADI performs characteristic low amplitude vibrations that do not go unnoticed by the vigilant fish.

In fact, the only factor holding up this excellent lure is the actual absence of the series as such. With good (in some sense, universal) body parameters - namely, 7 centimeters of length and 9 grams of weight - it easily carries medium and small predators, but more often is needed to catch a trophy. It also brings a modest single complete hook, the replacement of which allows to solve problems with a cliff and a lack of a hook. Due to the low cost and catchiness of the winter lure, Kuusamo SERENADI has every right to be included in the collection of any angler, but only on the condition of catching medium-sized fish.

HALCO TWISTY

Rating: 4.7

According to many authoritative editions, Halco Twisty winter baubles are the most successful variation of vertical baubles ever to be used by anglers. The contour of the model, bent towards the ends, creates an attractive type of game, which no other bait is capable of. In addition, the limits of applicability allow it to work perfectly with both slow and very fast wiring, not “choking” on the go.

The huge variation in size gives Halco Twisty even more versatility. While models from 15 to 70 grams perform very well when catching trophy asp and catfish, juveniles 1.5-10 grams perfectly cope with catching perch, pike and large pikeperch in the winter period of time. Such baubles are produced in two principal colors - gold and chrome, with a special holographic insert of the Sparkle type. A slight difficulty in terms of purchase can create the value of these lures, traditionally strongly distinguished from all the same competitors. However, rest assured that the initial costs will more than pay off during the fishing season.

RAPALA SM-Pirken Glow

Rating: 4.6

The catchy winter lure SM-Pirken Glow is a modified version of the popular model Pirken, which received a lot of commendable reviews on the world fishing arena. Rapala has deliberately modernized the chassis bait, instilling in it the qualities necessary to effectively lure and catch a predator in difficult conditions of sheer fishing. In particular, the weight underwent a change that was deliberately reduced with a constant body length (for example, in the SMPG10 model, only 2.3 grams of weight is 3 centimeters long). The color got a smooth gradient transition from bright (red, green or blue) tops to a softer main part.

In addition to the purely stylistic decisions lures SM-Pirken Glow has acquired a powerful catching tee with a drop, the accentuated appearance of which irritates the predator and makes you rush into the attack without thinking. It is worth such a winter lure fairly well, slightly rising in price as it progresses along the size ruler (some stores have options of 5.5 centimeters lure with a weight of 12 grams).

NILS MASTER JALO

Rating: 4.6

Jils's vertical winter lure from Nils Master was ranked thanks to a combination of unusual spring data that accompanies catchability and remarkable versatility in terms of fishing. Representatives of this series can be used throughout the year, freely replacing hooks depending on the specific season. According to the manufacturer’s standard, complete with all variations of spinners of a standard size (of which there are only two on the market at the moment), small hooks are supplied that are suitable for sheeting in winter. In addition to the drop in the central part, they have a connecting spacer in the form of a metal leash, which skillfully imitates the movement of the “tail” in water. The very same lure has a pronounced oscillatory game, which is achieved due to the special geometry of the profile.

According to experienced consumers, there is not much difference between the two Jalo models on the market (65 and 75 millimeters in length, 8 and 12 grams of weight). All of them have good flight characteristics and excellent catchability with mutual changes of hooks for the season. The only drawback of the series is the cost, but it also beats off for a couple of trips to the reservoir.

Nord Water’s "Sudachya"

Rating: 4.5

Winter lure, the purpose of which is eloquently marked in the title. However, in spite of everything, it shows itself well when catching perch (in variations of 40 and 50 millimeters), and when catching pike (models from 50 to 70 millimeters long). Due to the presence of a small trough, it shows an exceptionally expressive and high-pitched game on a reservoir, moreover, both during sheer lance in the winter, and when fishing is spinning. The ironed monochromatic surface of the “Sudak” glares perfectly in the sun, thanks to which it actively attracts predators from the depths. To enhance this effect, one of the bait surfaces has a flex insert, giving a variety of appearance and disorder to bright highlights.

According to the fishermen, Nord Water’s Sudakia performs well in any fishing period. Its catchability largely depends on the technique of the luster, which imposes some restrictions on the circle of users. However, the cost without any problems allows you to purchase this winter minnow and a novice, gradually paying off in the course of application.
