What is a wobbler

Wobbler is a bait designed for fishing using spinning. In shape, this bait resembles a small fish or insect. The history of the wobbler has more than 100 years.

The idea of ​​creating such an artificial bait belongs to the American James Heddon. On April 1, 1902, he received a patent for his invention - the world's first lure called Dowagiac, which is translated from one of the Indian languages ​​as "a lot of fish."

In advertising printing, there is its own wobbler, which is a printed element on the paper and cut out of any form with a plastic flexible leg.

Lure device

This bait consists of 4 components - body, blade, hook and loop. The bait should look like a fish, and also imitate the movements of the victim. With these movements, the lure and lures larger predatory fish.

For the manufacture of the body of a wobbler, plastic or wood is used. The shape is made as close as possible to the specific predator prey. The main part of the bait can be either hollow or monolithic, depending on the properties that the bait should have. On sale is a huge variety of types of wobbler cases. The body is painted with bright colors so that predatory fish can notice the bait from afar. Special balls are even inserted inside some models in order to interest potential prey with sound as well.

Translated from English wobbler - one who is limping, staggering. When using a wobbler, it imitates a wounded fish with its game, which attracts a predator.

The blade serves as a simulator of movement. Sometimes it is also called language. This part of the bait immerses the wobbler to the required depth and sets the necessary movements. The blade can be a monolithic part of the body, or separately docked to it. They make it from metal, plastic or silicone.

Depending on the model of the wobbler, a different number of hooks are attached to its body, usually from 1 to 3. Hooks make the whole structure heavier, the larger and larger, the deeper the bait will sink under water. Triple hooks are most popular, but there are also single and double hooks.

The wobbler is attached to the fishing line using a ring (loop). The attachment point can be in different parts of the bait, depending on the model, but most often located in the bow.
