Wobbler - Killer Bait
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 have one objective; to imitate injured fish. It does this by swimming with a “wobbling” motion. It is not hard to find a wobbler in the store; it is the bait that looks most like a real fish.
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.
Since wobblers can be used for almost any type of fishing, there are of course many types and brands of wobblers. The best known brand of wobblers is probably Rapala. Rapala is also often credited as the creator of wobblers.
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.
The floating wobbler is bait that floats when you dont put any pressure on it and sinks when reeled in or pulled after a boat. It is very good for fishing in shallow water.
The sinking wobbler is basically just the opposite of the floating one. It sinks when no pressure is put on it and rises when it is reeled in. You can reach deeper water with this one.
The suspending wobbler is quite special. It actually has about the same density as water. In action this makes the wobbler float at the same debt when no force is working at it. It comes in variants who either rises or sinks when reeled in.
