18 best wobblers

How to choose a catchy wobbler

Wobblers as a class of baits are very liquid and diverse product, the choice of which (in a general sense) requires adherence to a huge number of subtle aspects. However, along with the selection approach based on the characteristics of the bait itself, there are a number of much more specific (and, in our opinion, more practical) techniques to help you buy the right lure for your true needs. As a recommendation, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the main types of fish caught and its preferences, which have been noted over many years of fishing experience:

1. Pike. Very "universal" toothy predator, catching of which can be carried out both on superficial and deep wobblers. The most common types of bait in this case are minnow fish with different configurations of the blade, small cranks, and teardrop-shaped feta.
2. Zander. The predator, in its habitual habitat of considerable depth and emerging closer to the surface only for feeding. To attract his attention, it is best to use submersible (sinking) cranks, showing a fast and dynamic game when making wiring.
3. Som. Large and slow by nature, catfish prefer to lie down at a considerable depth, going hunting and swimming closer to the surface only at night. Therefore, for their fishing it is logical to use large deep-sea wobblers with powerful tees, for example, trolling ones with large blades for quick penetration.
4. Trout. Active river predator, found on rivers with a rapid flow. They bite mainly in the upper layers of the reservoir, and therefore requires the use of floating subsurface crankbaits. These are perfect minnow fish, poppers and a number of small krenkov with a stable game of speed.
5. Chub, ide. Just like trout, these predators are most active in the upper and middle layers of the reservoir, but in stagnant waters or rivers with moderate currents. They prefer baits such as cicadas, minnow, poppers and cranks.
6. Perch. A small active predator very much favors small wobblers, however, due to the abundance of instinctive bravado, it can be thrown at a large bait. They bite indiscriminately on minnow, and on fat, and on small sweatshirts, but mostly at the top or with a little digging (usually up to 2 meters).
7. Zhereh. Cautious and prudent predator, demanding natural appearance and natural movements from bait. Shows activity at the very top or at a small depth (up to 1 meter). Due to individual preferences, they peck mostly on minnow.

The best universal wobblers

ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP

Rating: 4.9

The extremely expensive and catchy wobbler from ZipBaits was designed with an emphasis on professional anglers, and obviously did not strive to go to the masses. The 11-centimeter suspender was made almost in the same style as the VARUNA 110 SP considered earlier; however, by the will of subtle differences, it became more preferable to the inhabitants of domestic water bodies. In particular, pike and asp, which are very close to its nominal working horizon (0.8-1.5 meters), show the greatest interest in it. The pike perch does not hesitate to ascend from the depths, as is impressed by the dimensions of the potential prey and the passively relaxed game, which gives the fry completely unprepared for the “stressful life”.

Consumer feedback has long and long been predicting to ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP crank the glory of one of the most successful universal cranks that came to the Russian market from Japan. Despite its high prices, it has become a basic element of the collection of many experienced fishing lovers, and is no less often found on spinning beginners.

O.S.P VARUNA 110 SP

Rating: 4.9

Another representative of the Japanese side of developers, officially released in 2015, was honored to be included in the rating. Suspender VARUNA 110 SP has taken an intermediate place in the line between RUDRA (13 centimeters long) and ASURA (9.3 centimeters), and combines the characteristic features of both catching cranks. When casting, the model sinks to a depth of 2 meters, which is the nominal working position (with uniform and stop & go wiring). For more depth (up to about 3 meters) it is enough for anglers to use the twitching technique, to which a small minnow also responds very correctly.

Despite the fact that the weight of the O.S.P VARUNA 110 SP wobbler (16 grams) is quite suitable for making decent range casts, it has a floating balancer system. Three tungsten balls moving along the guide add wobbler inertia at the moment of flight. As in the case of the main competitors, the only weak point of this lure was the high price, cutting off lean and novice fishermen from the target audience.

Imakatsu Riprizer

Rating: 4.8

The infrequent "guest" of various thematic ratings today occupies a very advantageous position. Imakatsu Riprizer as a whole series of assorted lures came to the market for a long time, but it became common for domestic fishermen only in the last couple of years. Presented only floating and neutral models, each of which is made in sizes 60, 90, 110 and 130 millimeters. As the manufacturer claims, they are all amazingly suited for casting and twitching - on the rest of the posting types, the results are supposed to be much worse. However, consumers managed to deny the words of Imakatsu's PR service three times, issuing a real class when fishing for jigs, as well as with uniform, smooth wiring.

Objectively, the Riprizer wobbler in all its diversity has no serious flaws. Some of the users tend to complain that SP-versions are much inferior in ascent rate and overall speed of wobblers under the heading F, while on the contrary, someone says that everything is perfect in it. Anyway, all opinions converge into one thing: the bait is worthy of getting into the common top.

Megabass Vision Oneten

Rating: 4.7

Megabass Vision OneTen is the rare representative of wobblers, customization of which is done by adding holography inside the polymer body. In the water, this design looks much more natural, so the fish does not cause instinctive echoes of suspicion among predators. It is delivered to the market in a single version of a standard size with a body length of 11 centimeters and a weight of 14 grams, which somewhat binds fishermen within the framework of limited choice only by color. The model works mainly in the upper layers of water (0.5–1 meters), where it successfully catches asp, pike and large perch.

Since the Vision OneTen wobbler was developed by the Japanese specifically for catching bass, the high efficiency of catching river predators has become a pleasant addition to the nominal destination. Unfortunately for some users, its price is too high, but the number of advantages gained along with a wobbler fully pays for the high demands of distributors.

Rapala X-RAP MAGNUM XRMAG30

Rating: 4.7

One of the many representatives of the company Rapala, the absolute universality of which was designated a decade ago. The deep-sea minnow MAGNUM XRMAG30 is used mainly for trolling fishing, but also welcomes much more light wiring such as jigging, twitching, and very even calm reference. With a length of 16 centimeters, its weight is a whopping 72 grams - with such indicators, the wobbler does not need a long-distance casting system at all.

According to consumers, the skill of the Rapala X-RAP MAGNUM XRMAG30 wobbler manifests itself already during the first fishing. Even at first, the probability of taking several trophy predators is very high, which is favored by the depth of its horizon (from 4.5 to 9 meters). The only obstacle to the purchase of this wonderful wobbler can be the price. However, in this particular case, it is more than justified by tremendous efficiency.

Yo-Zuri L-Minnow 44S

Rating: 4.6

The versatility of the wobbler Yo-Zuri L-Minnow 44S has long been marked by true professionals from fishing, so he simply could not get into any other category of rating. If the price is not the highest, a consumer can get a compact bait, suitable for both jigging, twitching, and even wiring, and even to work in the stop & go mode. Finishing the model is qualitatively different from the overwhelming mass of consumer goods, the cost of which often exceeds its nominal price. Classic minnow has a carefully traced body, ranging from the smallest scales at the base of the tail and ending with arcs at the head.

Overall dimensions also speak in favor of the versatility of the L-Minnow 44S wobbler. With a body length of 4.4 centimeters, the weight of a wobbler is 5 grams, but, alas, the possibility of long-distance casting is not provided. But the controllability of a small fish is more than enough: it is very easy to control it when bending around Koryazhnik, grass thickets and other disturbances on the water.

 

The best wobblers for twitching

ZipBaits Orbit 80 SP \ SR

Rating: 4.9

The very expensive and very catchy wobbler Zip Baits Orbit 80 SP \ SR was designed specifically for catching bass, but in modern realities it turned into a real "monster" of river fishing for twitching. His trophies are often pike, perch, asp, large perch and, according to some anglers, salmon on fast-flowing rivers. With a length of 8 centimeters, its weight is 8.5 grams, which, in the presence of a floating balancer, gives the wobbler a predisposition to making long-distance shots.

In addition to floating tungsten balancer Zip Baits Orbit 80 SP \ SR has a brass cylindrical weight in the head. When making a wiring, this load deviates from the center position and causes the fish to make vertical nods. The main disadvantage of this wobbler is the extremely high price, which automatically cuts off the audience of beginners from the mass of potential buyers.

Yo-Zuri Hardcore Jerkbait 90

Rating: 4.8

In line with Megabass Vision 95, another candidate for the rating is a modified minnow from the Yo-Zuri company, which has taken on even more point-like adjustments to the form. The dorsal part has undergone the buildup of a large hump, due to which the shape of the fish has become remotely resembling a boomerang. The abdominal part received a wave-like shape, designed to give the wobbler swinging in the vertical direction.

Despite the notoriously low weight (7.5 grams with a length of 9 centimeters), the Hardcore Jerkbait 90 wobbler has a long-distance casting system, made using the patented technology of the manufacturing company. In general, the principle of Magnetic Weight Transfer is no different from a number of other floating balancers. When making a cast, the weights in the form of balls are displaced along the guide towards the tail, stabilizing instantly after the bait is immersed in water. Of the other features of the model, it is worth noting the presence of a rattle: not a new, but always an effective element of luring. It is such a miracle that is relatively expensive, but at one glance at the profile and the trim of the body, you just stop paying attention to it.

Megabass Vision 95

Rating: 4.8

The Minnow Megabass Vision 95 somewhat deviates from the canons of the classical form, having a pronounced little hump in the dorsal part of the body and a slight concavity in the abdomen. As the manufacturer explained, such pinpoint changes are one of the components of an expressive, extremely attractive wobbler game that provokes the predator to an instant attack. In turn, the second component was the refusal of the floating balancer and its replacement with a static cylindrical pin, shifted closer to the tail section. This arrangement of the load somewhat worsened the condition of the casts, however, it significantly altered the movement of the bait in the water column, adding to it the amplitude rocking of a carefree fry.

The depth of catch of the wobbler Megabass Vision 95 does not spoil the user with variability, although it has a couple of other significant advantages. Being within 0.8-1 meters under the surface of the water, the wobbler lures the predator almost to the top, so the user can only competently do the hooking and drag the prey to the side of the boat (or shore).

Lucky John Basara 90

Rating: 4.7

The modified series of wobbler Basara 90 from the company Lucky John was present among the nominees for the most prestigious awards no less than the Rapala X-Rap, for which it naturally entered the rating of the best wobblers in terms of tweeting. The catch of this bait can be almost any river predator, daring once encroach on the "life" of the plastic fry. Two separate rulers of the same series - 90F and 90SP - show the excellent catchability of rather rare bersh and sabrefish, as well as the common, but always desired pike.

With a body length of 9 centimeters, wobblers Lucky John Basara 90 have a weight of 10.5 grams and a movable balance bar, which makes it possible to cast them over long distances. According to numerous consumers, this bait is one of the best for jerk fishing (including aggressive), available for purchase in its own collection, even for thrifty anglers.

Rapala X-Rap 100

Rating: 4.6

More than once the nominated representative of the Finnish company, representing the result of the qualitative evolution of the classic series for catching predators in huge quantities. X-Rap 100 is a ten-centimeter minnow with subtle body lines and realistic texture, complemented by the presence of a 3D eye. Not a single predator can withstand its external data, however, in a flock of fry (with neutral coloring) it does not cost the wobbler to merge with the total mass. Complementing the alluring image of the fish is a bright red fly, located on the tail hook and visually increasing the dimensions of the model.

Working on the depth horizon from 0.9 to 2.4 meters, the Rapala X-Rap 100 wobbler perfectly copes with catching a large predator, which is toothed pike, pike perch, trout and salmon (when it comes to fishing in the current), and also infrequent Tarpon is the inhabitant of domestic water bodies. An additional luring effect in the model is a rattle, without which, according to experts, the wobbler could not have won half of its current achievements.

Smith Jib 90 F

Rating: 4.5

The classic minnow Smith Jib 90 F is one of the most suitable baits for aggressive twitching, widely available in retail stores of our country. Thanks to the original balancing system, this model has a shaky game, reminiscent of rolling over the fish from side to side. Such movements bribe the vigilant predator, pointing to the momentary vulnerability of a small lure. Coupled with fairly decent dimensions (9 centimeters in length and 6.7 grams), such movements make the crank very noticeable even in the school of fry.

Consumer reviews suggest a good catch of the Smith Jib 90 F wobbler on standing rivers. Working at a depth of 0.5 meters, the wobbler literally makes predators float to the surface, where they quickly pull them one by one. The most frequent guest on the hook is the pike, as well as the pike perch, chub asp, and a large ide.

The best wobblers for trolling

Rapala tail dancer

Rating: 4.9

Rapala Tail Dancer, a wobbler, also achieved great success in the field of fishing, for which it regularly fell into the top rankings. Its peculiarity lies in the vigilant and long work of engineers on the creation of a special, unrecognized shape of the body of the fish.In common, Finnish bait received the nickname "banana" for its high profile similarity with this fruit. However, the initial comic attitude is quickly replaced by a pleasant surprise and pride in the choice, since the fish demonstrates stable productivity from the very first use in fishing.

According to consumers, Rapala Tail Dancer is very beneficial to use as a “breakdown” wobbler. Regardless of the size (and there are three in the series: 5, 7 and 9 centimeters), the fish shows an equally attractive game, complemented by a strong noise effect from the rattle, embedded inside its plastic body.

Bandit walleye deep

Rating: 4.8

This trolling "fighter" got into our rating for the close combination of canons and bold design solutions of the Bandit company. It is a classic minnow with a body length of 12 centimeters and a weight of 17.5 grams. It has excellent depth characteristics, dropping (in some cases) to an actual depth of 10 meters, where it effectively catches large and inactive predators.

The texture of the Bandit Walleye Deep body is at the mercy of accurate drawing, and of the additional decorative elements only 3D eyes were added to the wobbler. To the standard layout of the tees was added another, tail, largely due to the increased length of the model. According to the users, the bait fully justifies the hopes that have been placed, and shows excellent catchability in defiant trolling. Currently, the price of the model dropped significantly, which automatically raised it to the rank of the best wobblers not only in a single category, but also in the whole segment.

Rapala CountDown Magnum

Rating: 4.8

One of two representatives of the Rapala company in the category of the best trolling wobblers, the bet in which was made on the maximum realism of the external design. Actually, the producers managed to justify the rate to glory - with full “disarmament” it would be almost impossible to distinguish the fish in the shoal of a live fry. The key role in this transformation was played by the texture of the body, carefully traced to the smallest scales and lines of the head. Secondly, it was succeeded to beautifully beat realisticness due to the picked-up colors.

As for the overall dimensions, there are five of them in the CountDown Magnum series. The largest wobbler, CDMAG18, has an 18-centimeter body weighing 70 grams, and is used primarily for aggressive trolling at sea. The remaining options (with a body length of 7 to 14 centimeters and a weight of 12 to 36 grams) are ideal for river "battles" trophies in which most often become soma, pike and pike perch.

Halco sorcerer

Rating: 4.7

While Bandit Walleye Deep was nominated for a close relationship with the canons of making minnow fish, the Halco Sorcerer, on the contrary, falls into the rating due to a pinpoint violation of the long-established rules. The geometrically regular body of the form of a minnow was mercilessly curved in the front part, somewhat unusual for the eyes and for the perception of a predator. In order to emphasize the flagrant irregularity, provocative colors were added to neutral colors, making the wobbler just an ideal target for attack.

Currently, Halco Sorcerer offers anglers only two options for the wobbler dimensions: 12.5 and 15 centimeters with a mass of 20 and 30 grams, respectively.In the recent past, there were five such options, however, smaller models were eliminated and remained on the market only in single copies, which, of course, cannot be considered for full availability.

Salmo Hornet F 04

Rating: 4.6

The only krenk among the variety of minnows, which was honored to be included in the rating of the best wobblers for trolling. Wobbler Salmo Hornet F 04 is a line of small fish with a characteristic crook in the dorsal part, the length and weight of which is 4 centimeters and 3 grams, respectively. The most advantageous characteristic of this model is a dynamic and rapid penetration, the value of which can reach from 1.5 to 3.1 meters. For such a small fish is an excellent result. But the characteristics of a cast at Salmo Hornet F 04 came out, to put it mildly, not very. When you try to throw a wobbler away, it will inevitably carry it away with the very first gust of wind.

Consumer testimonials indicate a stable manifestation of interest in the fish by the predator, which allows it to be used as an intelligence bait. With a stable high-frequency game, it in one instant collects around itself a variety of prey, for which it receives the widest distribution among all fishing enthusiasts.

Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow DD

Rating: 4.6

The megaulovist Crystal Minnow DD series from Yo-Zuri was also unable to stand aside. These deep-sea minnows are in the prime of their popularity, which largely determines their prevalence in the domestic market. The Deep Diver lineup includes 5 different series, combined into two structural units. In one of them are bait F1013 and F1012 whose body length is 13 and 11 centimeters, respectively. In another block, the models of the R series are located - from 538 to 540. Their overall dimensions are made to become F-cams, but with an important structural difference. Hoping to create something universal within a single ruler, Yo-Zuri endowed the first unit (F-series) with the canonical form of a minnow. The second, as a derivative of the classics, received changes such as an increase in the deflection of the fish in the back, as well as a flattening of the side surfaces.

According to users, a similar approach to production gave its fruits: with minor point changes, the behavior of fish in the water changes radically, which gives the entire series of Crystal Minnow DD unattainable versatility.
