Plug (fishing)

A wobbler is an artificial bait used for fishing of predators and the first time was made by Sir Max Bloom Erich in 1884. The bait leads in the solicitation from tumbling movements and to imitate a sick, debilitated fish. Crucial to the success here is the correct guidance of the art bait. A special form of Wobbler Popper put dar. There are also special forms that are not designed for fishing for predatory fish, but for the squid fishing.

Construction and application

Plugs are available in floating, floating and sinking versions and in a wide range of colors. They are made of wood or plastic. Wobblers are rarely equipped one-, two -, or three parts and at least one, but usually two trebles with single hooks. To attach the lure itself offers the Rapalaknoten. If a steel leader is used Carabiner ( Einhänger ) can be selected with a round arch. For very small models is particularly important to pay attention to the size and weight of the Einhängers, otherwise settling and running characteristics are adversely affected. With a spoon attached to the bow diving floating lure. In addition, the wobbling motion is greatly influenced by him. Depending on the shape and inclination of the spoon wobblers are shallow or deep runner. There are also wobblers without bucket.

Modern Wobbler harboring inside her often several small metal balls. These abut when the lure is, thus ensuring noise that should attract the attention of the predatory fish to the bait under water in motion. In addition, the balls move when throwing the end of the wobbler, so that the trajectory is stabilized. This results in less tangles and other throws. All waters which are different with respect to the color choice. As a simple peasant rule which does not apply in any case, one could say: In clear water and on sunny days the wobbler should have subtle natural colors. In turbid water, and on rainy days are bright shock colors (neon yellow, red, orange ) suitable.

Shad, who have no diving lip, and show without an active leadership no action is called jerkbaits. We distinguish two broad types: first, the Glider swimming in zig- zag course in a horizontal way through the water, the diver, the dive again and again in shock and ascend slowly breaks. This produces a sawtooth pattern under water.

Blade shapes

• Small, steeply angled spoon = Shallow Runner
• Large, flat -mounted bucket = low rotor
• Broad, round spoon = sweeping aggressive move
• Narrow, long spoon = more subtle movement
