15 best silicone baits

How to choose a catchy silicone bait

In the best traditions of wobblers and lures, silicone baits have acquired a wide range of variations in shape, size and additional elements of luring, which has somewhat complicated the process of their choice. Based on your own preferences, do not forget to pay attention to the following parameters:

Silicone type. All silicone baits are divided into three large groups:

1. vibro tails - the outlines of the body resemble fry fish, have a characteristic feature in the form of a heel in the tail. Differ active game and versatility.
2. twisters - silicones, the main element of luring in which is a tape curved tail. They are less like small fish, but provide as stable bite as vibro tails.
3. Silicone Cicadas is a special section of silicone baits containing models that imitate crustaceans, squid, insects and frogs. have a specific catchable "audience" and are used under the "mood" of fish in a single reservoir.

Manufacturing material. After choosing the type of silicone bait, special attention should be paid to its structure. Traditionally, silicones are made in edible and inedible form. The first are suitable in the case when the reservoir is observed slack biting. The latter can also serve as a provocateur, but are most often used as the main bait. To check the quality of the material simply look at it more closely. Solid silicone should not have in its composition pores and bubbles. If they are observed, feel free to look for another model.

Body structure. The degree of catchiness of a silicone bait often directly depends on its structure. Remember that the body of a good vibrotail or a twister should always be monolithic, and not have spikes or other hints of fastening. This is unethical and impractical in terms of strength. Pay special attention to baits with grooves in the tail section, because this design allows the fish to work perfectly at any wiring speed. Avoid buying a hard tail with vibrating tails, the game of which will be reduced to zero when reducing the speed of posting.

Best Universal Silicone Baits

Reins Rockvibe Shad 2 ”

Rating: 4.9

As we promised, the 2-inch version of the magnificent bait of the Rockvibe Shad series, which has become widespread among all castes of domestic level fishermen, is becoming a separate feature. Executed in a fundamentally similar style, this model has a high-intensity game with characteristic vibrations that carry not only perch, but also trophy predators like pike, pikeperch, trout (when fishing on the course) asp and many others.In fact, all its advantages are reduced to universality, manifested in the form of fished fish.

Strange, however, among the user reviews there are no complaints about the high price of Reins Rockvibe Shad 2 ”accompanying the older models of the series. Thus, having no obvious vulnerabilities, this silicone bait becomes the best in its segment, pulling up the whole series on its oversized bodies.

Kosadaka Vibra

Rating: 4.8

Another variation on how an authentic and effective twister should look like. In an effort to create something out of the ordinary, Kosadaka created the Vibra silicone bait, a clumsy silicone with a large frontal resistance, distinct ribbing at the base of the tail and a small droplet on its tip. This model is available in three lengths: 50 (a copy that is attractive for small and medium sized perches), 70 (universal dimensions, allowing you to catch both perch and mediocre pike, chub, perch) and 90 (jig bait, effective in hunting for pike perch and pike) millimeters.

Due to the modest cost of Vibra, it is also noteworthy that the packaging is made in small batches from 3 to 15 pieces (depending on the size). According to consumers, this is an excellent consumables for everyday use, with which you can both catch the place and maintain the bite's stability throughout fishing.

Reins Rockvibe Shad

Rating: 4.7

The famous series of silicone baits from the Reins company is the permanent leader of the category of vibrotails for two fishing seasons, and it is clearly not going to stop there. Presented in five principal modifications (four of which are dimensional), it covers absolutely all angler's needs for vibrating tails and twisters. The smallest representative of the series will be considered separately from the others, so we’ll dwell on versions from 3 to 5 inches in length. Thanks to balanced proportions, they show, in general, an identical game, differing only in intensity (less-better) and accentuation of the action (more-accented). Smooth body with ribbing on the tail is made with emphasis on streamlining and imparting vibrations in the last phase of the movement (on the tail stroke). Such a performance gives the silicone bait more expressiveness and attracts predators from the lower layers of the reservoir.

Due to the high cost, large versions of Reins Rockvibe Shad most often become the privilege of professionals, but sometimes you can find such a bait in the ranks of ordinary anglers.

MANN’S Predator 70

Rating: 4.6

Silicone bait type vibrotail, which managed to get the status of the legendary. This is exactly the way MANN’S Predator 70 can be described, which has become a point of reference for other equally well-known representatives of MANN. The shape and size of the body of this silicone is made with a high degree of accuracy and similarity with the fry, which is its main weapon. In neutral colors, such performance gives the maximum superiority over the perception of a predator, mindlessly attacking an artificial bait. As a result: excellent catchability already at the first applications.

However, do not overlook the bright, brilliant variants of the 70-millimeter fish. In cloudy weather and when fishing at depth, pike perch often “shoots” at them, leading to bright spot glares on the Predator’s body. As part of the cost, the silicone bait has been very added lately, but it is worth remembering that all costs (as usual) pay off instantly.

Lucky John Pro Series Mister Greedy

Rating: 4.5

The soft vibrotail from the Lucky John company invariably gets to the best ratings from the moment of entry into the wide market. It has a body geometry with a ribbed surface, a large fifth and a small section of the tail section, which is quite typical for a silicone type. When moving in the water column, the frontal resistance causes the heel to make high-amplitude movements, resembling an enhanced yaw of the “lost” fry. This kind of animation was not chosen by chance, since it makes it possible to attract a sedentary (which almost always means large) predator from the bottom of the reservoir. The characteristic feature of this bait is the presence of two hillocks at the very base of the tail, which act as a “springboard”, forcing the silicone to sway in the vertical direction.

Mister Greedy is available in three dimensional variations: 76 (used for catching bersh and pike), 99 (for picking with offset hooks and catching in shallow water) and 127 (for hauling large fish) from a pond. The cost of each of these variations is small, and therefore the bait can be seen even on the beginners' spinning.

Bass assassin curly shad

Rating: 4.5

Bass Assassin jig twister shad is a very rare and extremely productive phenomenon in domestic water bodies used for catching pike, perch and perch in large quantities. It is a colorful model fry with a long curved tail, the outline of which strongly resembles a wobbler type shad with flattened sides and a characteristic crook on the back. Differs in small dimensions: with a length of 5 centimeters, the weight of the lure hardly reaches 1.4 grams. Without additional weighting, flight data are out of the question - it is this fact that predetermined the use of the Curly Shad in conjunction with jig heads.

The catalyst for the mediocre popularity of the twister in Russia was a decent price, which neither new fishermen nor experienced amateurs want to pay (for such a small object). Thus, Curly Shad becomes yet another victim of the rising cost of fishing equipment, although, by and large, it is able to recapture all costs when it is first used in a pond.

Megabass Counter Grub

Rating: 4.5

Silicon twister with ribbed calf hit the rating is not by accident. For a more than five-year history of use, its catchability has been noted by many domestic anglers, confirming the accuracy of the calculation of the company Megabass. Like all products of Japanese bait granite, Counter Grab was developed for catching bass, however, it was well adapted for pulling pike from a pond, and for luring perches, and even (in a major modification) for catfish from the depths.The lineup contains three full-size sizes of this silicone bait (3, 3.5 and 5 inches), the weight of which varies from 3.8 to 7 grams.

As noted by professionals, the undoubted advantage of the entire Counter Grab line is the possibility of fishing on grassy areas (with offset hooks), as well as the method of sale in sets of 4 and 8 pieces, respectively. Such magnificence is by no means inexpensive, due to which its acquisition is also advisable for beginners.

Hula grub gary yamamoto

Rating: 4.4

Gary Yamamoto's multisegmental twister siliconic takes the line in the ranking thanks to the original appearance and the ability to truly surprise the predator in its habitable area. The worm-like body and quite standard Hula Grub twister tails are complemented by a tempting “skirt” consisting of a series of thin silicone tentacles. Such a performance carries the double effect of luring: the tone of movement is set at once from both sides of the lure.

Fishermen have noted a noticeable increase in the number of beetles during the transition from a common twister (or vibro-tail) to the Hula Grab during one fishing trip. This siliconic fish is especially catchy in places where predatory fish prefer to feed on crustaceans, provided they are treated with special attractants. In general, with the method of distribution in packs of 10 pieces (and at a low cost), this silicone bait is guaranteed to bring you a lot of good.

Relax kopyto

Rating: 4.4

Silicone bait for catching large predator, having an elongated and compacted body shape with a narrow tail and a wide blade. It differs from a number of other baits of the same sense by the presence of notches in the tail section, which make the game more expressive and attractive. Delivered to the market in sizes from 7 to 15.2 centimeters with a weight in the range of 4.7-29.9 grams. The smallest samples "do not disdain" to catch small fish and are a real irritant for the river perch. In turn, large models perfectly cope with catching captured pike and pike perch, and sometimes they may surprise the user with fishing for trout, bursa and chub.

Also noteworthy is the fact that the Kopyto silicone lure lineup has been recreated using inedible rubber, the strength of which is much higher than that of edible counterparts. Thus, vibrotails can withstand even the most desperate bites of toothed predators without tears and complete loss of the tail.

Yum wooly curltail

Rating: 4.3

Classic twisters from the company Yum are quite a bit, but regularly show good results in terms of catching predatory fish. Their body is an alloy of a worm-like relief body and a curled tail, due to the movement of which the lure of prey occurs. Within the same line, there are as many as four Wooly Curltail sizes, ranging from 1.5-inch models, sharpened for perch and ide fishing, and ending with a 4-inch specimen made for pike, perch and bersh.

Fishers very often turn to using Wooly Curltail as a “punching” bait, which sets the overall rate of fishing on the reservoir.Tails it breaks, of course, often, but a small price makes it possible to consistently purchase as consumables.

The best silicone bait on pike

Crazy fish vibro fat

Rating: 4.9

A typical jig vibrating tail with an optimal balance of softness / stiffness has in fact become the most productive bait for catching toothed predators on domestic water bodies. It is easy to explain such preferences of the pike: Vibro Fat has an attractive texture and color (matte or with sparkles creating microglaces on the surface of silicon), intense tail movement, as well as a basic smell, all in a series of 6.

The total length of the silicone bait in the series varies from 71 to 120 millimeters, which ensures proper amplitude of the tail span when posting. Vibro Fat (as well as Fork Tail) works well with offset hooks as well as jig heads. However, consumers give more preference to the latter, encouraging to catch a jig. In view of the low cost and high degree of catchiness, it is safe to say that this development of Crazy Fish is the best in the ranking for catching toothed predators.

Fox Rage Fork Tail

Rating: 4.8

Despite the fact that many anglers find V-shaped lures mediocre and sluggish, Fox Rage Fork Tail alone refutes their opinions and shows excellent results in pike fishing. Possessing a granular texture, this silicone is as close as possible to the look of real fry, slightly impersonating itself (not by any means a predator) by the presence of a stamp along the borders of the stamp connector and angularity. Actually, such trifles do not affect the performance of the bait when operating on water, because its main weapon is a thin and sensitive V-shaped tail.

According to users, the silicone bait Fork Tail can be used both with offset hooks, and in conjunction with standard jig heads. It works very well in tandem with an attractant in the form of fish oil, which confuses the predator even more, leaving no doubt as to the viability of this inanimate silicone.

Lucky John Pike Idol

Rating: 4.8

Silicone vibrotail, which won the line in the ranking due to the non-trivial shape of the body and the original coloring method, inaccessible to competitors Due to the presence of a large tail blade shows an active game at the stage of small and slow wiring. It explodes, but does not “choke” even with twitch jerks or softer jig steps, thanks to which it attracts even more attention from the inhabitants of the reservoir.

Silicone bait Lucky John Pike Idol is divided into two size-standard class with a body length of 9 and 12 centimeters, and a weight of 5 and 10 grams, respectively. It has a three-component attractive color, the production of which was made available through a three-layer method of manufacture.According to the manufacturer's recommendations, before using on the pond Idol it is recommended to treat it with a powerful attractant, in order to add to the bait also aromatic appeal. But, as users say, silicone shows excellent catchability and without additional “chips”.

Manns Stalker 5.5

Rating: 4.7

The next line in the ranking goes to the product of the American fishing industry. Manns Stalker is a predator-type silicone vibrating tail made with a helical tail notch to increase the amplitude of its movement. Needless to say: on the water, the Tramp produces a real sensation, luring not only pike with intense wagging of the tail section, but also another river predator living nearby. It has a body length of 5.5 centimeters and five fundamentally different colors within the series. It is noteworthy that the main emphasis was placed on the predominance of yellow tones - only in rare cases, the assortment dilutes the silver color or the shade of a chartreuse with sparkles.

If according to other criteria Manns Stalker 5.5 shows itself exclusively from the good side, then its value leaves much to be desired. Unlike the Vibro Worm 3,4 ”, this vibrotail is sold individually, but even in this sales method it manages to be more expensive than a set of five models.

Vibro Worm 3,4 "

Rating: 4.6

On the good side, when fishing for pike, the worm from the Crazy Fish company showed itself, conquering the fish with intense tail movement even at low posting speeds. With a weight of 2.9 grams, its length does not exceed 8.5 centimeters, which makes it possible to carry on a single hook and a small predator, and trophy specimens. According to consumers, the Vibro Worm 3,4 differs from its own peers by its higher strength. Edible rubber has a dense structure, because of which the cliff of the “main tool” of baiting - the tail - is unlikely at the first fishing. The sale of this model is carried out by shops mainly in small lots of 5 pieces, so that in any case there will not be a shortage of vibrating tails in the collection of users. Such a set is relatively inexpensive (up to 200 rubles) and is found almost everywhere.
