The best wobblers for perch

YO-ZURI L-Minnow 44

Rating: 4.9

Yo-Zuri L-Minnow 44S

The YO-ZURI L-Minnow 44 wobbler is a real breakthrough in the production of wobblers, representing an extremely small and cute minnow fish, designed with maximum realism and skill. With a length of only 44 centimeters, its weight is 5 grams, which provides good ballistic characteristics and saves very much when making a long cast. It is very stable when working in the current and in stagnant water, which has a positive effect on the game of the bait, giving it the proper activity and clarity of action. In addition, as an additional attracting element, it implements an acoustic effect, which consists in the transmission of characteristic vibrations from the free movement of the load inside the body.

There can be no complaints about the variety of colors for the YO-ZURI L-Minnow 44 wobbler. More than 18 different color schemes make it possible to choose the bait for absolutely any water conditions. It will be rather difficult to call such a purchase inexpensive: in relation to production costs, the price still looks a little high. Nevertheless, due to the high catchability of the minnow, it should be remembered that all the invested funds will pay off after the first fishing applications.

Advantages

  • realistic appearance, as close as possible to live fry;

  • a huge variation of colors, high resistance to wear;

  • the ability to capture any predator, up to trophy samples;

  • high degree of catchability;

  • the presence of acoustic accompaniment;

  • high intensity game adaptable to any type of harness.

disadvantages

  • slightly high price.

Zipbaits Khamsin 50SP

Rating: 4.8

Zipbaits Khamsin 50SP

The Khamsin 50SP shallow suspender from ZipBaits is one of the most popular perch catchers in domestic reservoirs, which was not originally created for this. According to the first idea, this shad was supposed to be a bait for bass, but after the start of operation in Russia, it sharply changed its specialization to catch any river predator. With the dimensions of the bait of 50 millimeters, its weight is 4.2 grams, which is partly due to the slightly blurry ballistic data, even despite the presence of a long-range casting system.

The game of the Khamsin 50SP wobbler is very cool due to the presence of a wide and long blade, which makes the bait dive and make sweeping, high-amplitude movements. From the moment of testing various methods of posting on the lure, anglers have noticed that it adapts well to each of them, which once again proves the versatility of the little shad. Its disadvantage is the high price that set the teeth on edge about the previous models, which, to be extremely honest, is completely leveled by the level of performance of the wobbler.

Advantages

  • high accuracy of texture of real fish fry;

  • durable material of manufacture of increased transparency;

  • the ability to use a wobbler to catch any river predator;

  • an exciting game that adapts to any wiring method.

disadvantages

  • high price.

Pontoon 21 Crackjack 48

Rating: 4.7

Pontoon 21 Crackjack

Small wobblers of the minnow class with small blades for shallow penetration and fishing in the upper layers of water (from 0.8 to 2 meters). This characteristic is ideal for perches, asp and trout, especially in view of the universal dimensions of all Crackjack 48s. It is not hard to guess that the number in the name means body length (expressed in millimeters), but the weight parameter already depends on the type of execution. A magnetic balancer is responsible for the game of the wobbler during wiring, alternately shifting to the muzzle or tail and allowing the spoon to swing in a horizontal direction.

In terms of design, Pontoon 21 Crackjack 48 provides users with a choice of 15 colors, each of which is natural and matches the color of real fry that live in water. The only 'weak' point of the bait is the high price, which cuts off a large segment of newcomers from fishing from the audience. However, this moment has little effect on the level of sales: from the very launch of the series 'Crackjack' has been positioned as a bait for professionals.

Advantages

  • the presence of a floating magnetic balancer;

  • fishing mainly in the upper layers of the reservoir;

  • the presence of six serial modifications (three floating and three suspenders);

  • natural colors in all variety.

disadvantages

  • high price.

Smith jade md

Rating: 4.6

Smith jade md

An honorable place in the rating goes to a good-quality crank from the Smith company, the main feature of which is its adaptability for long-range casting, even despite its low body weight. With a length of 43 millimeters, the Jade MD wobbler weighs only 2.3 grams (the model with neutral buoyancy is 2.4), but due to the presence of a floating balancer, it can fly far beyond the mark of 30 meters. Submerged in water, it perfectly supports any method of wiring, from twitching to jerk broaches with small pauses. It manifests itself well both in stagnant water, where it catches mainly perch and pike, and in the current, prevailing with chub and occasional bites of 'bad' trout (the weakness of which is minnow wobblers).

If we talk about the shortcomings, then in the Smith Jade MD bait, there are only two of them. The first refers to the beloved economic part of all – this fish is very expensive. The second drawback affects the fishing methods and is expressed in the fact that when using leashes (all except fluorocarbon ones), the delicate balance is disturbed and the crank begins to go down its muzzle to the bottom. All these are nuances, but they are worth focusing on.

Advantages

  • high catchability of perch, pike and chub;

  • the ability to carry out wiring of any type (jerking, twitching, pumping, etc.);

  • an abundance of color options;

  • good casting characteristics.

disadvantages

  • high price;

  • too delicate balance of the body, disturbed by minor changes in the attachment (leashes, etc.)

The best spinners for perch

Mepps Black Fury

Rating: 4.9

Mepps Black Fury

There has been a lot of talk about Mepps Black Fury lure for a long time. In addition to the insignia such as the most successful spinner, its superiority is supported by the simplicity of its design, which provides both a low price and predictability of behavior in the water. The standard teardrop-shaped petal here has a wonderful combination of black with various shades of precious metals, which creates a real riot of colors when making a drive at any speed. In addition, to enhance the luring effect, different-sized bright points were added to the central part of the petal, serving as a guide for the attack.

The lineup of Mepps Black Fury lures is subdivided into four sizes ranging from 3.5 to 8 grams. All of them, in one way or another, are suitable for catching perch, but they are not limited only to them. In terms of cost, this lure is at an intermediate level between Mepps Agila and Myran agat , which automatically makes it one of the cheapest on the market.

Advantages

  • very low cost;

  • high working conditions;

  • simplicity of design and reliability for many years;

  • a small but effective number of working colors;

  • four standard sizes within one line.

disadvantages

  • not found.

Smith pure

Rating: 4.8

Smith pure

The well-known shaker from Smith is almost the most important asset of his company, which rarely pampers consumers with truly catchy products. A wide range of models and an abundance of colors makes the spoon multifaceted and sharpened for versatility, which has a positive effect on the annual sales level. The classic S-shape of the Pure lure gives anglers the opportunity to experiment with wiring and animation options while catching sensitive predators along the way.

If we talk about the Smith Pure lure with reference to perch fishing, then the most optimal choice will be models with dimensions from 1.5 to 7 (less often 13) grams. Initially, all of them were developed with an emphasis on salmon fishing, but, once at the disposal of domestic fishermen, they quickly developed into a universal fishing tool, sharpened for pike, pike perch, and trout with the same river salmon. Of the shortcomings of the series, one can single out only a high level of cost, which is leveled by good workmanship and longevity.

Advantages

  • optimal quality indicators;

  • high degree of durability;

  • an abundance of colors for different fishing conditions;

  • the presence of 8 dimensional models in the series;

  • original animation of movement for different wiring methods.

disadvantages

  • high price.

Mepps Aglia

Rating: 4.7

Mepps Aglia

The Agila off-the-shelf spinner from Mepps is a legend among fishing enthusiasts, overshadowed only by the outstanding Black Fury line from the same manufacturer. Its design does not represent anything new or breakthrough, but there is a lot of useful potential behind this simplicity. Subdivided into three different size groups within the line, this spoon is able to reach absolutely any predator from the bottom, from small or large perch to a trophy pike paired with deep-sea pike perch.

In terms of the design of the lure, Mepps Aglia shines with a 'classic of the genre' – a standard single-color petal in gold / copper / silver and an axial weight in the form of inlaid yellow beads or a steel sleeve. Otherwise, there are no additional elements of luring – everything is given exclusively to the expressiveness of the game when wiring. As in the case of the Myran agat lure, consumers note an even more urgent need to update the series, but the price still encourages huge crowds of anglers to spin.

Advantages

  • the presence in the line of three size groups (6.5, 9 and 13 grams);

  • high catchability of fish at different flow rates (and in still water);

  • simple and reliable design, leaving users with the possibility of self-modification;

  • extremely low cost.

disadvantages

  • the need to update the appearance.

Myran agat

Rating: 4.6

Myran Agat

At first glance, unsightly, but very catchy, Myran Agat lure gets into the rating due to the strong recommendations of users and a number of respected experts. Rotating in nature, it has a petal of the original geometry, resembling an oblong drop with a slight concavity in the central part. This manufacturing option was not chosen by chance: the Myran company aimed at creating a universal lure that could work both in stagnant water and on a stream. In this regard, the range of fish caught was determined by itself: in addition to perches, pike, trout, pike perch and salmon bite perfectly on the turntable.

The axial weight of this bait, in accordance with the flight of the manufacturer's imagination, received the form of a combined float, which gave a touch of sophistication and freshness to an overall gloomy appearance. According to users, the Myran Agat lure needs a qualitative update of the visual component, since the scarcity of colors does not allow the spoon to reveal its true potential. However, all talk about the shortcomings stops when the price is mentioned – it is becoming more and more difficult to find a catchy spoon at such a low cost.

Advantages

  • original shape of the petal and central weight;

  • the presence of a red front sight on the tee;

  • overall dimensions suitable for perch fishing (weight is 3 grams);

  • a high degree of versatility (works great on a stream and in calm water);

  • very low price.

disadvantages

  • poor flight performance;

  • scarcity of external design.

Rapala Minnow Spoon RMS05

Rating: 4.5

Rapala Minnow Spoon RMS05

One of the most wonderful spinning lures in the Rapala range, ideally suited both in size and spirit for fishing medium to large perch. It is a standard non-hook with a soldered single hook and a soft-balanced tendril that recognizes well the force applied to the spoon by a predator's attack. With a length of 50 millimeters, it has 7 grams of weight – not the best result for the possibility of long casts, but quite adequate for a bait of such a compact size.

From the point of view of users, the main advantage of the Rapala Minnow Spoon RMS05 lure (and of the entire series in particular) is a huge variability of colors, amounting to about 20 different schemes of a neutral or defiant look. The actual cost of the spinner has slightly increased over the past couple of years, but still remains in the field of tolerable indicators. Yes, for beginners, buying it will be unnecessary, but for experienced fishing enthusiasts, keeping such a 'baby' in the kit is a must.

Advantages

  • a very sensitive mustache that protects the hook from snagging on driftwood and grass;

  • acceptable price;

  • high quality workmanship;

  • good color variability within one series;

  • the possibility of fishing for perch and pike both in the thickets and in open water.

disadvantages

  • a single hook does not provide excellent fish grip.

The best silicone baits for perch

Lucky john ballist

Rating: 4.9

Lucky john ballist

If the first two contenders in the rating were, in general, classic twisters, then the Lucky John Ballist lure somewhat deviated from the generally accepted canons. The silicone received an elongated ribbed body and a shortened tail, the play of which became more intense during wiring. Thus, well-known manufacturers managed to create a lure with a high degree of versatility, suitable for both uniform wiring and aggressive twitching.

The Ballist series of lures has three sizes of 50, 63 and 102 millimeters in length. All of them can be used for catching perch, but the largest is used with success on the 'battlefields' with large pike, asp, chub and zander. Although the number of silicone colors is less than that of the Fat G-Tail Grub, it also gives a good variety in terms of choice. As for the cost of the bait, it is insignificant – when packing twisters of 6-15 pieces per pack, the consumer will pay only about 150 rubles.

Advantages

  • small tail, rarely subject to breakage;

  • good strength indicators;

  • the presence of about 20 different colors;

  • packing of 6, 10 and 15 twisters per pack (relative to sizes);

  • high rates of catchability;

  • original form.

disadvantages

  • not found.

Reins Fat G-Tail Grub

Rating: 4.8

Reins Fat G-Tail Grub

The Fat G-Tail Grub by Reins is a rather massive-looking twister, the appearance of which in the water confuses not only the lively perch, but also other predatory inhabitants of the depths. Made of satisfactory quality edible rubber, this silicone has a good margin of safety, resulting in a rather rare breakage of the playing tail. It is impossible to characterize her behavior in water otherwise than classical – perhaps the Japanese manufacturer tried to put some other meaning into his brainchild, but, in general, the movement does not have any special moments.

In terms of customization, the Reins Fat G-Tail Grub bait has an astronomical number of colors – about 45 pieces, officially registered in the assortment of a number of retail stores. In addition, the variety is given by three size variations of silicone – from 2 to 4 inches (from 50 to 100 millimeters). The representatives of the series are worth a little more than their rival Angry Spin, but they are at a qualitatively different level relative to it.

Advantages

  • sale is carried out in batches of 10, 12 and 20 pieces (depending on the size);

  • acceptable price;

  • satisfactory strength of the material of manufacture (edible rubber);

  • an abundance of colors for any need;

  • good catchability (not limited to perches).

disadvantages

  • not found.

Crazy Fish Angry Spin

Rating: 4.7

Crazy Fish Angry Spin

A classic twister of strictly small dimensions, which has become megapopular among domestic fans of hauling a perch from the water. It has in its assortment only two full-fledged standard sizes – 1 and 2 inches (25 and 45 millimeters, respectively). At the same time, their weight is very negligible, which makes it necessary to use jig heads and the corresponding stepped wiring.

In general, the Angry Spin lure does not present any big surprises in the manner of movement, showing the classic tail manipulation at various speeds. Variety in the series is made by the possibility of choosing from 13 fundamentally different colors, as well as three attractants (flavorings), generously added to better attract a predator. According to users, Crazy Fish Angry Spin has mediocre durability, characterized by very frequent tail breakage. Nevertheless, in this case, the manufacturer has provided for packaging of 4 and 8 twisters in a pack, in order to provide for the prompt possibility of changing the bait right during fishing. And this splendor is not expensive at all – a package with inch silicones barely reaches 100 rubles.

Advantages

  • very low cost;

  • 'generous' packing method (4 and 8 pieces per pack);

  • good alluring abilities;

  • classic game without 'quirks'.

disadvantages

  • low strength of the material of manufacture.

The best winter lure for perch

Rapala SM-Pirken

Rating: 4.9

Rapala SM-Pirken

The single leader in the category of winter perch lures is the true bestseller from Rapala, available in four sizes and three colors. The selection is a bit poor, but anglers generally love spinners for the 'content'. With a smooth, elongated body, the SM-Pirken descends evenly to its nominal working depth without any unwinding, maneuvering or other irrational movement. This manner of playing (or, more precisely, its actual absence) creates the illusion of serenity, which quick-witted predators would not mind taking advantage of. In this case, the mark for the attack is not so much the body contour as a bright multicolored drop located in the central part of the hook.

As mentioned above, the SM-Pirken lure has four sizes with a weight from 3 to 16 grams and a length from 23 to 50 millimeters, respectively. All of them, in one way or another, prove their worth in hunting for perch, but the largest lures in the lineup are capable of boasting excellent catchability of pike and zander.

Advantages

  • uniform, serene motion with sheer spinning;

  • a good variety of spoon size options;

  • gradient colors with a smooth flow of color;

  • the presence of a 3D eye on the body of the bait.

disadvantages

  • quite high price.
