ZipBaits Khamsin SR
Rating: 4.9
The second in a row, but not least in importance, the representative of the company ZipBaits is the best wobbler on a pike according to the version of users, and at the same time a real leader of the Japanese manufacturer. Initially, this series was intended for catching bass, but later, by trial and error, changed its focus on catching a freshwater predator like pike perch, perch, and the aforementioned pike. As one of two representatives of the Khamsin range, the SR series operates exclusively at shallow depths - up to 1.5 meters with a body length of 70 millimeters (initial performance).
In the body features of this wobbler, all the nuances and peculiarities characteristic of Shads are traced. In particular, there is a hump in the dorsal part, creating additional fluctuations in diving, and flat, flattened sides, accelerating the sliding of the artificial fry in the water column. Unfortunately, all this splendor is costly - in terms of price Khamsin SR far exceeds its rating opponents, which limits its use by professional circles and real fishing enthusiasts.
Virtues
-
phenomenal catch of pike, noted by users;
-
the presence of noise;
-
variability when making wiring;
-
modified geometry, positively affecting the dynamic performance of the fry;
-
highest popularity among anglers;
disadvantages
- The highest price in the selection.
Megabass Vision 110
Rating: 4.8
Another flagship of the well-known company, this time Megabass, combines even more useful properties than its previous "brothers" by rating. This classic minnow with a small crotch on the back and a 110-mm body belongs to the class of slowly emerging crankbaits, suitable for fishing in shallow rivers with a depth of 1 meter. Uses a "floating" tungsten balancer, shifting to the tail section when casting and restoring its position at the head when making wiring, thereby giving the game more appeal.
In turn, users are more interested in the fact that Megabass Vision 110 is perfectly combined with any method of catching, be it jigging, twitching, trolling, or wiring Stop & Go. The only disadvantage of this wobbler is the cost level, which is almost twice the average price on the market.
Virtues
-
the presence of a "floating" balancer;
-
the prevalence in the domestic market;
-
universality in terms of postings;
-
high quality workmanship;
-
excellent flight characteristics;
disadvantages
- high price.
ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP
Rating: 4.8
One of two representatives of the company ZipBaits, caught in the rating due to the “strongest” aspect of pike fishing on trolling. It has a pronounced crook in the dorsal part, because of which it loses the form of a standard minnow and acquires elements of movements that are uncharacteristic of this type of crankbait.Arouses genuine interest from users due to the universality of the wiring, easy control and perfect (according to most) long-distance casting system. In terms of the external characteristics of the ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP also has a couple of significant advantages. One of them is a very good, resistant lacquer coating, which reliably protects the base color from a descent, and the material of the wobbler - from emergency breakage due to predator bites. The second advantage is expressed by a large number of color schemes - about 48, - suitable for any fishing conditions.
Despite the seemingly perfect condition, ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP faced a serious problem that beats the company's image. The fact is that the high popularity of the wobbler contributed to the growth of production and sales of fakes that do not withstand any competition with the original.
Virtues
-
a combination of 110 millimeters in length with 16, 5 grams of weight;
-
suitable for any fishing methods;
-
48 colors in the catalog;
-
resistant coating that protects the crank from mechanical damage and burnout;
-
work on the depth of penetration from 0.8 to 1 meter;
disadvantages
- the presence on the market of a large number of fakes that do not meet the stated specifications.
Rapala X-Rap 10
Rating: 4.7
Over the past decade, wobblers of the X-Rap series have become a true flagship of the Finnish company Rapala, and the prerequisites for a quick change in their role to something less significant, fortunately for manufacturers, are not expected. A 10-centimeter fish with a whole range of useful qualities and properties is so fond of domestic fishermen that it is an honor to even yesterday's novice to have such a bait in the collection. The combination of impressive length and at least impressive weight (11 grams) gives the X-Rap 10 a tendency to long-distance casting and gives the user the opportunity to fish straight from the shore. The luring effect is provided by a combination of three factors: the direct movement of the fish in the water, the presence of the tail edge and the vibro-acoustic effect of the small blade in the front of the wobbler.
Completes the picture of an ideal pike wobbler and the ability to choose from 20 color options suitable for all occasions. Unfortunately, the high demand for X-Rap 10 spawned an inevitable increase in value. Not everyone wants to pay 900-1000 rubles for one fish, especially in the circle of simple lovers.
Virtues
-
strong luring effect;
-
high efficiency when catching freshwater predator;
-
20 different color options;
-
good flight component;
disadvantages
- high price.
Yo-Zuri L Minnow 66
Rating: 4.7
When working on the next nominee of the rating, L Minnow 66, Yo-Zuri relied on the maximum similarity of a wobbler to real fry, for which, subsequently, was rewarded with colossal revenue. These small minnow fish have created a real stir in the ranks of consumers who prefer to fish in freshwater (perch, chub, asp, and pike).
With a length of 6.6 centimeters L Minnow 66 has a weight of 7 grams, thanks to which it has decent flight characteristics and allows you to catch from the coastline. The game of plastic fish differs in intensity even with uniform wiring, and therefore immediately attracts the attention of a careful predator. Nevertheless, the wobbler shows the best results in terms of twitching or a more “light” version of the Stop & Go technique. And yet the key advantage of the serial bait is excellent handling - the best among all crankbaits present here.
Virtues
-
ample opportunities in terms of fishing areas (koryazhniki, grassy and stony locations);
-
a good assortment of colors;
-
good flight data for coastal fishing;
-
excellent catchability;
disadvantages
- overpriced in online stores.
Jackall Smash Minnow 110 SP
Rating: 4.6
A wobbler capable of making a serious competition to Yo-Zuri L Minnow 66 in terms of external similarity with real fry of fish.Despite some conservatism in the selection of colors (there are only 6 models at the disposal of the model), Smash Minnow remains in demand for fishing in any water bodies, literally forcing predators to attack themselves. Original balancing allows the wobbler to perform pronounced lateral movements, as if swaying when moving from side to side. It is this fact that causes the immediate response of large river dwellers (mainly pike and pikeperch) to an unimportantly expressive fish. With a length of 11 centimeters, its weight is as much as 19 grams, which has a positive effect on the possibility of fishing from the shore. But the burial horizon slightly disappoint: Smash Minnow goes under the water no more than 80 centimeters, somewhat losing in the potentially even higher level of catchability.
Virtues
-
phenomenal catch of pike on small rivers;
-
adaptation to natural colors;
-
good weights, causing the possibility of fishing from the shoreline;
-
very accurate imitation of fry;
disadvantages
-
high price in retail;
-
limitations in the fished waters (due to the narrow horizon of work).
Salmo Perch 140 SDR
Rating: 4.5
Another representative of the legendary series of cranks for pike, in the market since the distant 1992. It enjoys great popularity among both professionals and newly minted anglers, as it has extremely predictable behavior in water and steady luring abilities. For more than 25 years of use, anglers managed to learn all the habits of a 14-centimeter wobbler, using them for the benefit of improving the efficiency of fishing. A key feature of the Salmo Perch 140 SDR has become a significant depth horizon, which varies widely within 5-12 meters and allows for bass, trophy pike, pike perch (including yellowfin), and large perch from the depths of the bass.
In terms of color options, a catchy wobbler boasts a very large variety, especially in comparison with "conservative" lures. Recently, the Perch 140 SDR has seen a steady cost fluctuation. However, this does not stop anglers at all - the model continues to be actively sold and is clearly not going to give up its leading position in the Salmo product line.
Virtues
-
time-tested bait;
-
optimal balancing;
-
high stability in reservoirs with a fast current;
-
excellent deep indicators (depth range from 5 to 12 meters);
disadvantages
- periodic fluctuations in the price of a wobbler.
Lucky Craft Pointer 100 SP
Rating: 4.4
Wobbler on a pike, a characteristic feature of which are dynamic and powerful sliding movements from side to side to more accurately simulate the yaw of these fry. Possessing a 10-centimeter body with a mass of about 18 grams, the Lucky Craft Pointer 100 SP has excellent flight characteristics that allow you to make ultra-long casts of high accuracy. The working depth of the wobbler has modest ranges (1.2-1.5 meters), but it is on this horizon that the pike most likely attacks the fish.
An important advantage of the Lucky Craft Pointer 100 SP was the widest range of colors covering absolutely all niches in terms of fishing conditions. Objectively, this is one of the best baits for pike at the moment, popular among anglers around the world.
Virtues
-
a huge selection of colors;
-
high popularity among users;
-
the ability to perform long-range (and accurate) casts;
-
