Rating of the best wobblers for pike: surface and sinking baits


How to choose a catchy wobbler

Wobblers as a class of baits are a very liquid and diverse product, the choice of which (in a general sense) requires compliance with a huge number of subtle aspects. However, along with the approach of selecting from the characteristics of the bait itself, there are a number of much more specific (and, in our opinion, more practical) techniques that help you buy the right wobbler for your true needs. As a recommendation, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the main types of fish caught and their preferences, which have been noted over many years of fishing experience:

  1. Pike
    . A very “universal” toothy predator, which can be caught using both surface and deep wobblers. The most popular types of baits in this case are minnow fish with different blade configurations, small cranks, and drop-shaped fats.
  2. Zander.
    A predator that, as usual, lives at considerable depth and emerges closer to the surface only to feed. To attract his attention, it is most advisable to use submersible (sinking) wobblers, which show fast and dynamic play when making a retrieve.
  3. Catfish
    _ Large and slow by nature, catfish prefer to lie down at considerable depths, going out to hunt and swimming closer to the surface only at night. Therefore, to catch them, it is logical to use large deep-sea wobblers with powerful tees, for example, trolling ones with large blades for quick deepening.
  4. Trout
    . An active river predator found on fast-flowing rivers. It bites mainly in the upper layers of the reservoir, and therefore requires the use of floating subsurface wobblers. Minnow fish, poppers and a number of small cranks with stable play in fast water are ideal for these.
  5. Chub, ide
    . Just like trout, these predators are most active in the upper and middle layers of the reservoir, however, in still water or rivers with moderate currents. They prefer baits such as cicadas, minnows, poppers and cranks.
  6. Perch
    . The small active predator is very fond of small wobblers, but due to the abundance of instinctive bravado, it can rush to a large bait. It bites indiscriminately on minnows, fats, and small swimbaits, but mainly at the top or in shallow depths (usually up to 2 meters).
  7. Asp.
    A cautious and prudent predator that requires bait to have a natural appearance and natural movements. It is active at the very top or at shallow depths (up to 1 meter). Due to individual preferences, it bites mainly on minnows.

Daiwa Current Master SR 93 FSR - 5th place

The best universal wobblers

ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP

Rating: 4.9

The extremely expensive and catchy wobbler from the ZipBaits company was developed with an emphasis on professional fishermen, and clearly did not want to go out to the general public. The 11-centimeter suspender is made in almost the same style as the previously reviewed VARUNA 110 SP, but due to subtle differences it has become more preferred by the inhabitants of domestic reservoirs. In particular, the greatest interest in it is shown by pike and asp, which live very close to its nominal working horizon (0.8-1.5 meters). Pike-perch also does not hesitate to emerge from the depths, being impressed by the size of the potential prey and the passively relaxed game, which reveals a fry that is not at all prepared “for a stressful life.”

Consumer reviews have long been prophesying for the ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP wobbler the glory of one of the most successful universal wobblers that came to the Russian market from Japan. Despite its high cost, it has become a basic element in the collection of many experienced fishing enthusiasts, and is no less often found on the spinning rods of novice anglers.

Advantages

  • widespread among the entire fishing audience (beginners, amateurs and professionals);
  • excellent catchability with any fishing technique;
  • huge variability of coloring;
  • seductive and distinct play, provoking the predator to quickly attack;
  • very high quality exterior finish;
  • the presence of a long-distance casting system (with a weight of 16.5 grams);

Flaws

  • extremely high price.

The best wobblers for twitching

ZipBaits Orbit 80 SP\SR

Rating: 4.9

The very expensive and very catchy wobbler Zip Baits Orbit 80 SP\SR was designed specifically for bass fishing, but in modern realities it has turned into a real “monster” of river fishing for twitching. His trophies are often pike, pike perch, asp, large perch and, according to some anglers, salmon on fast-water rivers. With a length of 8 centimeters, its weight is 8.5 grams, which, in the presence of a floating balancer, gives the wobbler a predisposition to make long-distance throws.

In addition to the floating tungsten balancer, the Zip Baits Orbit 80 SP\SR has a brass cylindrical weight in the head. When performing a retrieve, this weight deviates from the central position and forces the fish to make vertical nods. The main disadvantage of this wobbler can be considered the extremely high price, which automatically cuts off the audience of beginners from the mass of potential buyers.

Advantages

  • the presence in the body of the fish of two loading balancers (tungsten central and brass head);
  • abundance of color options;
  • redesigned shape to provide more interesting play;
  • the presence of a long-distance casting system;

Flaws

  • extremely high price.

Yo-Zuri Hardcore Jerkbait 90

Rating: 4.8

Matching the Megabass Vision 95, the next contender in the rating is a modified minnow from the Yo-Zuri company, which has taken on even more targeted shape adjustments. The dorsal part underwent a large hump, which is why the shape of the fish began to vaguely resemble a boomerang. The abdominal part received a wave-like shape, designed to give the wobbler sway in the vertical direction.

Despite the obviously low weight (7.5 grams with a length of 9 centimeters), the Hardcore Jerkbait 90 wobbler has a long-casting system, made using the manufacturer’s patented technology. In general, the operating principle of Magnetic Weight Transfer is no different from a number of other floating balancers. When casting, the ball-shaped sinkers move along the guide towards the tail, stabilizing immediately after the bait is immersed in the water. Among other features of the model, it is worth noting the presence of a rattle: not new, but always an effective luring element. Such a miracle is relatively expensive, but when you look at the profile and finish of the body, you simply stop paying attention to it.

Advantages

  • high efficiency when catching river predators;
  • very grippy fittings;
  • the presence of a long-distance magnetic system;
  • multi-component coloring and realistic body texture;
  • sharpening of the game for jigging and twitching;

Flaws

  • quite high cost.

Top 10 best budget and branded wobblers for pike

As a rule, a catchable wobbler is not cheap, but there are also budget models. Most often they are copies of legendary brands. You need to understand that when we talk about a budget wobbler, we are not talking about amounts of 100 rubles. You can't buy a working bait at this price. What deserves attention starts from 400-500 rubles. It doesn’t make sense to buy it cheaper, it won’t catch, and no one needs a piece of plastic, even a cheap one.

  1. Jackal Squad minnow 65 SP wobblers are perfect for catching small pike. The length of the model is 65 mm, the weight of the bait is 5.8 g. These wobblers can also attract large perch, so the model can be considered as a universal one. If you are just starting to master twitching wiring, this wobbler is perfect. He is obedient - having reached the working depth, he stays there until the very end of the drive. One of the wiring options is a soft jerk and a long pull, although the Squad minnow 65 SP works great on any wiring. If you are wondering which wobblers are the most catchy for pike in the fall, then take the Skvad in sizes 65 mm and 85 mm. The price of Jackal Squad minnow 65 SP ranges from 8 to 12 dollars.
  2. Major Zoner minnow wobblers show excellent results both when catching pike in reservoirs with still water and in the current. This suspender works at depths from 0.5 m to 1 m and is available in sizes 70, 90 and 110 mm. The one hundred and tenth Major Zoner minnow works at a depth of up to 1.5 meters, its weight is 20 g. In the size of 110 mm it costs about 10 - 11 dollars.
  3. The ImaFlit 120 bait with a depth of one and a half meters is suitable for pike fishing in places that are not too covered with aquatic vegetation. The fact is that it will be problematic to guide it through thickets of algae; it is a hooky wobbler, since there are three tees. At the same time, the wobbler has an interesting game. Thanks to the brass balls with which the body is filled, this artificial fish seems to rush about in a chaotic manner and thereby attracts pike. The wobbler is a slow-sinking one, but if desired and skillful, it can be held quite close to the surface. When jerking, ImaFlit 120 makes wide movements, imitating a fish very realistically. The average price for this Japanese wobbler is $15.
  4. The catchy budget Chinese wobbler Kosadaka Mascot XS 80F is a worthy copy of the legendary Japanese Zip Baits Orbit 80SP. The bait has positive buoyancy. Immerses to a depth of 20 cm to 1.2 m. The optimal wiring depth is 0.6 - 0.7 m. The color palette is not too wide, but what is there is quite enough for successful fishing. The wobbler is quite resistant to pike teeth. In terms of performance, it is inferior to the original, but the plastic is good, and the tees do not need to be changed. Those who have already purchased this bait do not complain about the gatherings. Kosadaka Mascot XS 80F is designed for Twitch, it does not have its own game. Fully reveals its potential in shallow backwaters. For those who dream of an Orbit but cannot afford it, this is a good replacement. It flies a little worse, but catches properly. Wobbler price – up to 500 rubles.
  5. When presenting the best wobblers for pike, we cannot help but mention the Zip Baits Orbit 80 SP. This is an excellent slow-sinking minnow class wobbler. The flight range and correct orientation of the bait's body in the water is ensured by the mag-drive system. Neutral buoyancy allows you to hold the wobbler when retrieving. There are two modifications of this model. The Orbit 80 SR has a small blade and the mounting ring is located in the nose. The Orbit 80 DR shovel is large and wide, the ring is built into it. Hence the differences in play and depth. The bait performed well in different fishing conditions. It is suitable for current and standing water, for fishing areas with a depth of 1 meter or more. For the balancing system to work, the cast must be sharp. Optimal wiring is twitching. The model costs about $20.
  6. MEGABITE (LIBERTY) MINI SHAD is a universal wobbler that not only pike respond to. It is to the taste of large perch, and picky trout are caught with it on the fishing grounds. The bait is suitable for ponds with standing water and slow flow. There are two possible problems, but they are easily eliminated. If the wobbler falls on its side, it means you need to adjust the loop, and if you plan to catch a large pike, change the tees, as the rods may unbend. The bait game is worth spending time on improving the wobbler. You will spend from 300 to 400 rubles on this shad class bait.
  7. The Tsuribito Hard Minnow 95 F with a long-distance casting system is useful where it is possible to fish a wide area of ​​water. Active play, even with calm fishing, lures pike from afar. The material from which the body is made is so durable that the wobbler passes through rocky areas of the reservoir without damage. The size is suitable for catching large pike. Can be used on rivers and in still water. The wobbler floats up slowly. This is a minnow with its own game, which is most clearly manifested in the current. The price of the model is 500-600 rubles.
  8. Another catchy wobbler of the minnow class is the C'ultiva Rip'n Minnow 112. Judging by its size, it is designed for catching large pike. The weight of the bait is 19 g, this allows you to throw it far - just where the pike is hiding in ambush. The sharp hooks of the tees will not allow the predator to get off. If in some baits experienced colleagues recommend changing the tees, then there is no need to do this here. When fishing with the C'ultiva Rip'n Minnow 112, the retrieve is uniform and jerky. Wobbler with sound effect, small blade. It goes deep in just a couple of pulls. Costs from $10.
  9. The high flight characteristics of the PONTOON 21 MARIONETTE MINNOW wobbler expand the fishing territory and allow you to deliver bait far away even from the shore. The model is not very suitable for a beginner, as you need to adapt to it. If you plan to fish in the current, do not make sudden jerks. Soft twitching is what will make the wobbler play the way the pike likes. In reservoirs with standing water, wiring can be more aggressive, but the activity of the predator must be taken into account. If the pike takes it sluggishly, you should not expect it to rush to the wobbler just because it is considered catchy. These good budget Japanese wobblers can be purchased for 500 rubles (depending on your luck - somewhere more expensive, somewhere cheaper).
  10. And in conclusion, we present one of the most catchy wobblers. This is the Rapala X-RAP 10. It comes in four colors. Suitable for both slow wiring and twitching. For long casts when fishing for pike, including from the shore, these wobblers are ideal. The buoyancy of the bait is neutral, however, like most wobblers of this class. When paused, the Rapala X-RAP 10 hangs in the water column, provoking the pike to attack. The working depth of the wobbler ranges from 1.2 m to almost 2 m. The bait weighs 13 g. In bright sunlight it begins to shimmer in different colors. There is a front sight on the rear tee. “Khryapas” are also available in larger sizes, but they require a special reel; they kill a regular reel in a few fishing trips. If you are willing to pay from $12 to $17, the wobbler will serve you faithfully.

The best wobblers for trolling

TURUS UKKO 9cm 12

Rating: 4.9

A 9 cm long wobbler is designed for long casts and retrieving at a depth of 1-1.5 m. In the case of trolling, the bait goes down to 1.7 m, which is optimal for pike and pike perch. The coloring of the artificial fish is very reminiscent of a small perch due to the black transverse stripes. The orange belly and light green back increase the visibility of the bait at different times of the day. The blade on the nose provides additional wavy motion. Two treble hooks with independent rotation on the rings will easily pick up the pike and will not allow it to fall off. The bait is very expensive because it is made by hand by Finnish craftsmen, but in skillful hands it is a “terrible weapon.”

The wobbler is notable for its curved body shape. Thanks to this, during active retrieving, he additionally twitches longitudinally and nods. During a pause, the wobbler, on the contrary, leans back. This game adds sensitivity, impetuosity and wobble, which looks very attractive to pike. Despite the strong pirouettes in the water, the bait does not cling to the leash with tees, which means you can troll for a long time without removing the tackle from the water.

Advantages

  • sharp tees;
  • increased activity in water;
  • attractive colors;
  • goes well over any vegetation.

Flaws

  • high price;
  • does not like fast postings.

Rapala Tail Dancer

Rating: 4.8

The wobbler Rapala Tail Dancer has also achieved great success in the field of fishing, for which it naturally found its way into the ranking of the best. Its peculiarity lies in the tireless and long work of engineers to create a special, not borrowed form of the fish’s body. In common parlance, the Finnish bait received the nickname “banana” for its great similarity in profile to this fruit. However, the initial humorous attitude quickly gives way to pleasant surprise and pride in the choice, since the fish demonstrates stable productivity from the very first use on a fishing trip.

As consumers note, Rapala Tail Dancer is very beneficial to use as a “punching” wobbler. Regardless of the standard size (and there are three of them in the series: 5, 7 and 9 centimeters), the fish shows an equally attractive game, complemented by a strong noise effect from the rattle embedded inside its plastic body.

Advantages

  • attractive price;
  • a good range of sizes and colors;
  • the presence of a huge blade for instant penetration;
  • Precise balancing allowing for long casts;
  • original shape, causing a strong wagging of the tail;

Flaws

  • not found.

Bandit Walleye Deep

Rating: 4.7

A real trolling “fighter” was included in our rating for its close combination of canons and bold design solutions of the Bandit company. It is a classic minnow with a body length of 12 centimeters and a weight of 17.5 grams. It has excellent diving characteristics, descending (in some cases) to an actual depth of 10 meters, where it effectively catches large and sedentary predators.

The body texture of Bandit Walleye Deep was left to precise drawing, and only 3D eyes were added to the wobbler among the additional decorative elements. To the standard arrangement of tees, another one was added, tail, largely due to the increased length of the model. According to users, the bait fully lives up to its expectations and shows excellent catchability during challenging trolling. Currently, the price of the model has dropped significantly, which automatically elevated it to the rank of the best wobblers not only in a particular category, but also in the entire segment.

Advantages

  • a wide range of colors tailored for deep-sea fishing;
  • mimicry of the game when using various wiring;
  • realistic drawing of the body, the presence of 3D eyes;
  • optimal overall dimensions guaranteeing accurate and long casts;

Flaws

  • not detected.

Rapala CountDown Magnum

Rating: 4.7

One of two representatives of the Rapala company in the category of the best trolling wobblers, in which the emphasis was placed on maximum realism of the external design. In fact, the producers managed to justify their bet very well - with complete “disarmament”, it will be almost impossible to distinguish a fish in a school of live fry. The key role in this transformation was played by the texture of the body, carefully drawn down to the smallest scales and lines of the head. Secondly, it was possible to beautifully play up the realism due to the selected colors.

As for the overall dimensions, there are five of them in the CountDown Magnum series. The largest wobbler, CDMAG18, has an 18-centimeter body weighing 70 grams, and is used primarily for aggressive trolling at sea. The remaining options (with a body length from 7 to 14 centimeters and a weight from 12 to 36 grams) are ideal for river “battles” in which catfish, pike and pike perch most often become trophies.

Advantages

  • excellent body delineation;
  • the presence of realistic and provocative colors in the series;
  • ability to work at depths from 2.7 to 5.4 meters;
  • high reliability of the case;

Flaws

  • high cost even in the smallest version (CDMAG07).

Halco Sorcerer

Rating: 4.7

While Bandit Walleye Deep was nominated for its close ties to minnow-making traditions, Halco Sorcerer, on the other hand, makes the cut for its pointed violation of long-established rules. The geometrically correct body of the minnow shape was mercilessly curved in the front part, somewhat unusual for the eyes and for the perception of a predator. In order to emphasize the blatant irregularity, provocative colors were added to the neutral colors, making the wobbler simply an ideal target for attack.

Currently, Halco Sorcerer offers anglers only two options for wobbler dimensions: 12.5 and 15 centimeters with a weight of 20 and 30 grams, respectively. In the recent past, there were five such options, but smaller models were eliminated and remained on the market only in single copies, which, of course, cannot be considered as full availability.

Advantages

  • versatility in terms of fish caught (from pike and chub to taimen and asp);
  • ability to work at depths of up to 8+ meters;
  • excellent combination of shape with the proposed colors;
  • the presence of noise from a rattle;

Flaws

  • lack of small series models on the market (from 5.2 to 9 centimeters).

Salmo Hornet F 04

Rating: 4.6

The only crank among the variety of minnows that was included in the rating of the best wobblers for trolling. Wobbler Salmo Hornet F 04 is a line of small fish with a characteristic hump in the dorsal part, the length and weight of which are 4 centimeters and 3 grams, respectively. The most advantageous characteristic of this model is its dynamic and fast penetration, the value of which can reach from 1.5 to 3.1 meters. This is an excellent result for such a small fish. But the casting characteristics of the Salmo Hornet F 04 were, to put it mildly, not very good. When you try to throw the wobbler further away, it will inevitably be blown away by the first gust of wind.

Consumer reviews indicate a stable expression of interest in the fish on the part of the predator, which allows it to be used as reconnaissance bait. With a stable high-frequency game, it instantly gathers a variety of prey around itself, for which it is widely used among all fishing enthusiasts.

Advantages

  • equally intense game with different types of wiring;
  • reasonable cost;
  • large blade to avoid snags in snags and grass;
  • optimal depth horizon;

Flaws

  • bad flight data.

Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow DD

Rating: 4.6

The mega-catchable Crystal Minnow DD series from Yo-Zuri couldn’t stand aside either. These deep-sea minnows are at the peak of their popularity, which largely determines their wide distribution in the domestic market. The Deep Diver lineup includes 5 different series, combined into two design blocks. One of them contains baits F1013 and F1012 whose body length is 13 and 11 centimeters, respectively. In another block there are models of the R series - from 538 to 540. Their overall dimensions are made to match the F-cameras, but with an important design difference. Hoping to create something universal within one line, Yo-Zuri gave the first block (F-series) the iconic minnow shape. The second, as a derivative of the classic, received changes such as increasing the deflection of the fish in the back, as well as flattening the side surfaces.

According to users, this approach to production has borne fruit: with minor point changes, the behavior of fish in water changes radically, which gives the entire Crystal Minnow DD series versatility unattainable by competitors.

Advantages

  • a wide variety of models in size and color options;
  • reliable design of the fish body;
  • the ability to work at different depths (within one line);
  • good casting range;

Flaws

  • high cost for the range of products.

Surface wobblers are pike killers. My rating

Lucky Craft Sum Malas

This unique bait can be classified into several classes at once. First of all, this is a subsurface wobbler. On a uniform retrieve, it goes deep by a maximum of 15 - 20 centimeters, actively playing and swaying from side to side. The lower the reeling speed, the higher the bait goes to the surface, leaving behind a mustache on the water.

Once you switch to twitching, Malas turns into a popper, creating a characteristic gurgle and splashing water. The third option for working with the Malas wobbler is walkin-the-dog wobbler wiring. Using a walker, you can make Malas dance almost in one place, which is extremely important when fishing in shallow water in limited areas of water, free from aquatic plants. Pike and perch are excellently caught with this baby, and the bites on it are so spectacular and spectacular that they will not leave any spinning fan indifferent!

With its small size of 5.7 cm, streamlined shape and fairly good weight of 9 g, the wobbler flies like a bullet. Far and precise. When splashing down, it is advisable to slow down the spinning rod, otherwise the bait goes into the water quite deeply. In an overgrown and shallow reservoir, this risks losing the wiring.

YO-ZURI Hardcore WO.B.RU “zero”, Surface crank and 3D Popper

Company from Yu Zuri, without which fishing in shallow waters may not take place. 3D Popper and Hardcore WO.B.RU “zero” have long been legendary. But the Surface crank firmly settled in my box relatively recently - about 4 years ago. Then a replacement was needed for the chewed-up “zero”, but only surfaces were on sale.

Wobblers are actually the same type. Both the size and weight are eight grams. In my opinion, the difference is in the plastic. The surface is more “ringing” and buoyant compared to the usual one. But this does not prevent him from mowing down fish, both large and small, not only from the surface of shallow waters, but also at depths of up to 5-6 meters. Of course, the second is when the fish is active and when it feeds from the surface.

Megabass Pop Max

The largest popper in my collection. 7.8 cm to 14 grams of weight - decent data for a surface wobbler. Popper came to me only in the middle of this season, but has already proven itself to be the best. The main advantage by which I included it in this list is the ability to find and hook a pike. After the predator came out, if the attack was empty, I sometimes made casts a couple more times. So, to calm down, and then changed the bait to another topwater, smaller in size, with which he caught the predator.

Thus, this beautiful and expensive bait essentially became a search engine for me, for which I am grateful. According to reviews from anglers, Pop Max outperforms all other surface searchers in terms of effectiveness, but for me it’s just a ten-point out of ten possible pike search engines. If she exists and eats, she will definitely show herself.

Flight "beyond the horizon". Many wiring variations. A design feature in the structure of the body in the water supply system of the head part of the wobbler. It consists of six holes and an internal water chamber. In addition to the effect of passing water flows and creating biosound, this system uses changes in water pressure inside the water chamber, making its operation similar to that of a blade. Moreover, during a pause, the water flows out of the chamber and the head of the wobbler rises, ready for a new slap with the help of a slight movement of the rod. All it takes is a gentle movement of the rod tip and the Pop Max will waddle, dynamically scooping up water with each swing. Experienced anglers know that sometimes just a slight movement of the Pop Max is enough to trigger an instant bite from a predator. Finally, although it’s hard to believe, with a uniform, accelerated retrieve, thanks to the same pressure-redistributing chamber, the bait will go under the water and play like the best examples of shallow-water minnows. I hope that next season I will pay more attention to the wobbler. I'm sure he'll be a pike killer.

River2Sea Bubble Popper

A wobbler is a bomb, a wobbler is a fish mower, a wobbler is a pike killer . Lately it has been placed only if the bite is very bad. My very first surface wobbler. An old-timer in the fishing arsenal, like the Chinese. It was purchased so long ago that I don’t even remember what year. I remember that when I bought it, it was in a small transparent coffin.

The wobbler was sometimes lost on the hooks, but upon the arrival of winter fishing, a rescue expedition was carried out immediately on the first ice.

BUBBLE Popper is one of the best poppers on the market today. The bait has a system of weights, the baits have a high-quality coating. But the most important thing is that most predators pay attention to the bait. A slight jerk with the rod makes the bait gurgle and splash fountains of water forward. Additionally, the bait releases air bubbles through special slots located on the sides of the head, thereby attracting fish. A beautifully made, feathered tee at the back attracts fish even when the bait is motionless.

AIKO ZIGZAG

At one time, I spent a long time looking at the original wobbler from OSP Bent Minnow in the catalog of an online store. The body shape and price were somewhat underwhelming. But having found a copy from Aiko, without hesitation, I immediately ordered two models at once - 110 and 86. And I still don’t regret it. True, I lost 86 in the first month, but 110 are still in the main box.

Some may say that a wobbler lover must have only original models. Maybe. Somewhere I adhere to this, but regarding “ZigZag of luck” one can still argue here. The wobbler catches and catches perfectly.

Flies great. Allows for multiple wiring. High-quality coating (despite the pike teeth it has only minor scratches). Effective in shallow water and at depths of up to 3 meters. All attacks on the wobbler are very spectacular. There are a lot of connections, the tees need to be changed. Decent perch often attack; small pike are not afraid of a 110 mm wobbler at all.
