Yo-Zuri L-minnow 44

Rating: 4.9

Sharpened to preserve their appearance, these fish are recognized from year to year as the best baits released in the early 2000s. Minnows of small size make fishing exciting and give you the opportunity to experience what is called real cool. With a weight of 5 grams, the 4.4-centimeter fish has good casting range potential, which is why it is used mainly when fishing from a steep bank. Its movements very accurately convey the real yaw of fry, therefore it does not cause alertness in the predator and provokes an instant attack upon approach.

The controllability of the Philippine lure gives anglers an excellent opportunity to fish grassy areas and snags in search of a large predator. The trophies of Yo-Zuri L-minnow 44 are often pike and walleye, asp and perch, as well as trout when fishing in the current.

Advantages

• the extreme resemblance of an artificial fish to a real fry;

• realistic animation of movement;

• opinion leader among professional anglers and experts;

• the possibility of fishing from the shore, catching snags and thickets of grass.

disadvantages

• not found.

PONTOON 21 Greedy-Guts

Rating: 4.8

Another striking representative of the minnow class, whose shape deviates somewhat from the canons of the classics, was awarded the rating of the best wobblers for zander. Having a standard elongated body, Greedy-Guts are characterized by somewhat flattened sides and an enlarged abdomen, adding fatness and desire to the fry in the eyes of predators. Seven modifications, different in body length (from 4.4 to 11.1 centimeters), cover almost all the needs of anglers in wobblers. The smallest member of the series weighs 2.1 grams, and the limits of its applicability include fishing for perch and ide. In turn, the largest sample reaches a weight of 21.2 grams, and is used for catching trophy pike, pike perch, asp, etc.

As a bonus for selection, Greedy-Guts wobblers offer anglers good casting conditions based on the Mag Force Balance system. This is a slightly modified version of the magnetic weight, which, under the action of inertia, shifts from the central position and drags the bait along. The only problem with this model is that it appears less and less on the shelves of domestic stores. But even if the assortment has appeared, the rarity plays not in favor of the potential buyer.

Advantages

• the presence of seven modifications in the line;

• original body shape, different from the classical canons;

• good flight performance even at low weights;

• realistic body design, the presence of a 3D eye;

• the versatility of the series as a whole.

disadvantages

• actual absence in retail stores and high price.

Kosadaka Meta XS 80F

Rating: 4.8

The three leaders are closed by an outstanding wobbler from the Japanese company Kosadaka called Meta XS 80F. This floating model stands out from the crowd for its good feel and control when navigating, as well as the ability to 'fight' with a very large toothy predator. Many professionals begin the Meta XS 80F profile with a description of the catchability, where they often indicate pike, pike perch and other common fish in the water area of ​​domestic reservoirs.

The game of this wobbler is characterized as medium-frequency with prevailing longitudinal and lateral swaying. The most effective drive for such a complex complex movement is aggressive twitching, in which the wobbler most of all resembles an agonizing fry. To further stimulate the predator to attack in close proximity, the Meta XS 80F is equipped with a built-in noise chamber that emits acoustic waves of various ranges. Its weight is 9.2 grams, however, it does not contribute to the possibility of long casting and, as a result, fishing from the shore.

Advantages

• low price;

• realistic design with corrugation, holography and 3D eye;

• excellent catch performance, noted by professionals;

• a complex complex game consisting of two types of movement.

disadvantages

• low suitability for long casts.

Duel Hardcore (50 SP)

Rating: 4.7

The catchy Duel Hardcore (50 SP) shad from Yo-Zuri is based on a number of the latest production technologies aimed entirely at affecting the hunting instincts of predatory fish. The magnetic balancer MWT was used as a weight in this wobbler, the 'wandering' of which in the body of the fry leads to a significant improvement in the casting distance and the attendant accuracy. When wiring, such a system ensures a stable position of the wobbler in the water, even in difficult climatic conditions.

As an additional element of attraction, Duel Hardcore uses the technology of a 'noise chamber' – a tank filled with balls to create an accompanying acoustic effect. The small dimensions of the wobbler do not allow to oppose trophy predators, but this fish is capable of catching mediocre prey like no other.

Advantages

• low unit price;

• high-quality external performance, close to real fish fry;

• double luring effect (visual + noise);

• good casting conditions with low weight;

• good catchability on the stream (trout) and in stagnant water (pike, asp, chub, pike perch).

disadvantages

• not found.

Salmo hornet

Rating: 4.7

One of the most famous wobblers of the Salmo company was also awarded a place in the rating, enjoying a stable and (according to experts' reports) the best demand in the entire model range of the brand. The Hornet line includes as many as six types of lures (at 2.5, 3.5, 4, 5, 6 and 9 centimeters), distinguished not only by the depth of the depth, but also by the parameters of buoyancy.

The main feature of their game is to create high-frequency movement, reminiscent of the chaotic movement of fry. Each of the wobblers in the line can be used as an exploration bait when looking for a cool spot in vast reservoirs. This vector of application is justified by two factors. Firstly, Hornet easily rocks even the laziest and most sedentary predator, and secondly, it is very simple and predictable when navigating. As for the cost, even in the largest version, the wobbler has a normal price tag, which any amateur and (if desired) beginner can 'pull'.

Advantages

• a wide range of models, completely 'covering' all the needs for lures;

• acceptable price;

• stable high-frequency play, enticing sedentary fish;

• excellent performance in catching walleye, pike, asp and perch.

disadvantages

• not found.

EverGreen M-1 Inspire Minnow

Rating: 4.6

A classic minnow wobbler that captivated users with its external elegance and the smallest detailing of an artificial body. It was created as a bait for catching bass in the spring-autumn period, but when it appeared in the vastness of domestic reservoirs, it unexpectedly discovered the potential of an excellent catcher of pike and zander. The coolest bite is observed during the cooling period, when the ice crust has not yet bound the water surface, but the water is already approaching 0 degrees Celsius.

The depth range of the M-1 Inspire Minnow is only 1-2 meters, but due to its external expressiveness, this wobbler actively lures a large predator from the very bottom. Its dimensions do not quite match with long and accurate casts, since the 8-gram weight is rigidly fixed in the central part of the fish. As an additional luring effect (in addition to the catchy appearance), the model uses noise balls, the collisions of which within a small internal reservoir cause characteristic vibrations. This is one of the most plausible wobblers, the cost of which fully corresponds to the operational parameters.

Advantages

• excellent alluring abilities (appearance + noise effect);

• stable play with various wiring methods;

• the ability to fish in a strong current, slight deepening;

• optimal combination of price and quality.

disadvantages

• low casting accuracy.

Rapala shad rap

Rating: 4.5

The floating deep-sea shad gained the greatest popularity in the vastness of North America, but recently it has gradually begun to conquer Russian reservoirs as well. With a diving depth of 1.2-4.5 meters, the Shad Rap showed good results in fishing for pike and zander, and the smaller versions, moreover, were marked by increased attention from the perch and chub. In terms of wiring, the wobbler inherited the typical features of all Rapala products made before it, which is why it was able to change its 'behavior' on the go. With uniform twisting of the fishing line, the fish resembles a measured, unresponsive fry, completely open to a deadly attack. When jerking (aggressive or stepped), the movement acquires sharpness and intensity, turning a balanced fish into a nervous and fussy wounded animal.

Compared to its opponents, the Shad Rap is not too expensive, only slightly higher than the market average for wobblers. It is this fact that largely caused the growth of popularity of the wobbler in Russia, and also allowed it to take an honorable place in the ranking of the best.

Advantages

• four standard sizes of wobblers in the line (SR05 – SR09);

• original game with different wiring variations;

• high efficiency when catching river predators (especially pike perch);

• price comparable to the average market value of wobblers.

disadvantages

• not found.

Nils master haka

Rating: 4.5

The small and uncomplicated minnow from the Nils Master company got into the rating due to the extreme efficiency of catching zander in the summer. Possessing a limited number of colors (in general, not the most eye-catching), this wobbler attracts attention, first of all, with its magnificent animation of movement, reminiscent of a small fish throwing (especially when trolling). Perfectly manifests itself when fishing at a depth of 5 meters, where it easily plunges due to the wide front blade. There is no need to talk about the casting distance, since this parameter is the most controversial in the Haka series. With a length of 7 and 5 centimeters, the fish weigh only 8 and 4 grams, respectively, which is why they often fly far, but inaccurately.

Summarizes Nils Master Haka and the price parameter. With all the overall 'insignificance', excellent body kit (tees are very hooky) and high catchability for pike perch, the cost of the bait does not fall below 950 rubles (for a small wobbler), so not many can decide on such a purchase.

Advantages

• excellent catchability for zander, regardless of the visual parameters of the wobbler;

• quality tees included;

• the ability to fish at a depth of 0 to 5 meters;

• elaborate animation of the movement of the fish.

disadvantages

• high price;

• mediocre flight data.

Megabass Deep-Six

Rating: 4.5

Japanese deep-sea crank, which has established itself as a serious 'fighter' with large trophies in the conditions of domestic reservoirs. It works exclusively at a depth of 6 meters, from where it carries pike and zander well. Deepening to the nominal position occurs almost instantly, for which a large blade made of high-strength plastic is responsible. The dimensions of the Deep-Six (length 8 centimeters, weight 25 grams) allow anglers to make precise and long casts, which is very useful when fishing from the coastline.

As for the posting, the bait itself prefers to work both evenly and in jerks of various rates. Она отлично подходит для джига и твичинга, анимации stop&go, а также плавного и неспешного скручивания лески. Its only drawback is the price level: in the Russian markets, only professional fishermen can buy them in bulk quantities.

Advantages

• versatility in terms of postings;

• excellent animation of movements that attracts predators;

• good flight characteristics;

• an abundance of color options;

• work at a depth of up to 6 meters.

disadvantages

• high unit price.

Rapala barra magnum

Rating: 4.4

In the wake of the success of the Magnum series wobblers, the Finnish company Rapala decided to release a more technologically advanced modification designed for deep-sea fishing for a trophy predator. Barra Magnum turned out to be a truly 'evil' bait made of dense abasha wood (as opposed to the original 'Magnum' balsa). Such a selection of materials radically changed the working qualities of the wobbler, and also influenced the style of its playing. Instead of agile and quick movements, the minnow fish began to yaw more accentuated, completely attracting the attention of toothy predators to itself.

The horizon of Barra Magnum's work is limited to the range of 3.3-5.4 meters, where the main catch of the wobbler is large zander, pike, chub and (less often) asp. The configuration of dimensions (11 centimeters in length) and weight (20 grams) give this wobbler good flight performance. Its cost is also a strong point, albeit not always suitable for beginners from fishing.

Advantages

• optimal overall performance;

• the ability to work at depth;

• relatively low cost;

• accentuated, heavy play effectively luring the predator;

• high catchability already at the first application.

disadvantages

• gradual withdrawal from the Russian market.
