Wobbler Lures
The picture above is the classic wobbler Nils Master Invincible. Invincible floats on the surface but just a rewind or pull makes it dive with a swimming action which imitates a small bait fish. When the pull stops, the wobbler bobs back to the surface. This is my favorite pike lure!
Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia writes that a "wobbler (or "plug") is a fishing lure designed to resemble a fish of prey, or some other natural food of predatory fish. As the name signifies, it makes wobbling movements that are caused by the mouth dish or "bill" on the plug which causes it to wobble and dart as it moves through the water".
Simply put you could say wobblers are like bigger crankbaits and wobblers are designed to float on the surface of the water and stay afloat when they are retrieved, or to float but dive under the surface upon retrieval. Diving depth varies also upto 5 meters. Sinking wobblers are also available and there are slowly and rapidly sinking wobblers.
Some wobblers have a small metal ball inside to "rattle" when retrieved. Those wobblers are called rattling wobblers.
Wobbler Fishing Technique
Most wobblers are easy to fish and have their "action" built into the design, but you can give nuance to the wobblers action in many ways, such as varying the speed of the retrieve, occasionally "twitching" the rod tip during retrieve, or even letting the lure stop completely in the water, then resuming retrieve at a very high speed. |
