Rolls for pike: top 10 catchy wobblers, fishing tricks

Krenki is one of the varieties of wobblers, but significantly different from the usual baits of this type in the shape of their body and size. Some believe that their popularity is falling, but this type of wobbler can always be found in the arsenal of a spinning player.

Krenki, in turn, have their own varieties associated with the imitation of not only a small, well-fed fish, but also various bugs or animals. Therefore, it makes sense to dwell on the features of the use of such baits.

The difference between cranks and other wobblers

Krenks are distinguished by a rather active game, with a rather specific body shape. This bait has a short body but a large head. The peculiarities of such a construction of the bait shape make it possible to imitate a well-fed, albeit small prey, which somehow falls into the field of view of a predator and provokes it to attack.

Despite this, rolls have their own internal classification. Therefore, rolls can be divided into 3 main types: fats, flats, sheds.

Feta characterized by a shorter body, with maximum volume. Therefore, they have an almost round body shape, which is why they are called “fat men”. Most models imitate insects, so they are suitable for seasonal use. At the same time, the largest models are considered universal, since they imitate a fish. This type of bait is characterized by active play.

Flats can be identified by the unchanged shape of the body, which is flatter. Due to the design features, such lures are characterized by average vibration amplitude and frequency. Unfortunately, not all models can withstand water pressure, therefore, they are best used in the presence of a weak current or its absence. Some models are able to withstand the fighting of large specimens, which is not typical for such small models.

Shady – These are the most popular baits today. This is due to the presence of a wide range, which allows you to choose the bait for various fishing conditions. Many models are similar to herring in many respects, but you can find baits of this type that mimic completely different prey of a predator. Basically, these are insects and small animals.

The lure has a specially designed complex profile with a front blade that helps to control the position of the lure in the water column and regulate the speed of the retrieve. It is recommended to use a generally uniform haul, as a result of which the lure shows all its attractive play and creates noise vibrations that are characterized as above average. Acoustic waves are able to attract a predator from afar. You can buy bait for 400 rubles.

Kosadaka Cougar XD 50F

This crank from the same manufacturer, which can be attributed to feta. A characteristic feature of this model is the fact that it is easy to operate and it does not take much effort to catch a fish.

EverGreen Combat Crank SR

This is a floating type bait designed for catching various predatory fish species using the casting method. This is the smallest wobbler and it is designed for catching fish in the most interesting waters with various underwater surprises.

Pontoon 21 Deephase

This is a deep sea lure that is perfect for trolling predators. Despite this, many anglers use this roll when fishing from the shore. The special design of the front blade allows the bait to dive to a depth of 4,5 meters. Unfortunately, the flight characteristics of this bait want to be better. Therefore, the bait is delivered to the fishing point with the help of the current. This suggests that it makes no sense to use it on still water, except in the presence of a boat, when long-distance casts of the bait do not play a significant role.

This bait costs within 450 rubles.

Deps DC-400 Cascabel

This is another wobbler of this type, with a large depth of immersion, and besides, it is floating.

Yo-Zuri 3D Flat Crank

This roll can catch a predator at depths not exceeding 1 meter. This model of the bait is characterized by a very active game, especially with uniform wiring, when the wobbler begins to sway from side to side, creating sound vibrations that do not disregard the predators living in the reservoir.

Owner C`ultiva Bug Eye Bait

This is another of the rolls, which is designed to catch a predator in shallow water, since its diving depth is no more than one meter. The game of bait should contain sharp movements and sharp jerks, which, one way or another, attracts a predator. In other words, this wobbler will be able to show decent results when fishing with twitching. Krenka has a visual similarity with a fish, and the presence of a noise chamber makes this bait the most catchy. You can buy a similar bait for 500-550 rubles.

How to catch pike on rolls

Since rolls themselves have structural features, their use is associated with some nuances. The catchability of the bait also depends on the skill of the fisherman, his ability to skillfully serve and hold the bait so that the predator does not have any doubts about its plausibility. Of no small importance is the correct choice of spinning. Such baits weigh no more than 10-15 grams, so the test of a spinning rod should not go beyond these limits. To control the behavior of the bait, you should ideally choose a rod, since it is wobblers and rolls that are most sensitive to such an imbalance.

At the same time, there is a wide range of similar baits, which makes it impossible to single out general rules for all types of rolls and all fishing conditions. Each bait is designed for specific conditions of use.

Still, advice needs to be heeded. Here they are:

1. The game of the lure depends on the shape, size, body material, etc. Therefore, each bait needs an individual approach. Each design is designed for the movement of different parts of the body, such as the head, tail and torso. When fishing for pike, low-frequency vibrations should be preferred. At the same time, some wobblers start up with any wiring and demonstrate their advantages, while other baits have to be animated using all their experience and skills.
2. When catching pike in the current, when there is a certain noise background, it is better to take rolls with noise chambers. During posting, they will make certain noises that will spread over a considerable distance, which will certainly interest the predator. At the same time, your choice should be stopped on baits with one ball inside the chamber.
3. The color of the roll is selected depending on the specific conditions of fishing. If the water is clean and clear, then it is not necessary to choose a bait with bright colors. She can not only not attract a predator, but also scare him away. But in muddy, not very transparent water, you need to use bright rolls that can attract a predator from afar. At the same time, the presence or absence of the sun should be taken into account, which will certainly make its own adjustments. In other words, you need a certain amount of experience that comes with age.
4. It is believed that when using a roll, uniform wiring will be the most catchy. But this does not mean at all that other types of postings may turn out to be unpromising. On the contrary, the angler has a huge field for experiments, and he can use any wiring, including his own branded one. It is very important that the bait demonstrates a stable and believable game. This can only be achieved through the right choice.

Spinning pike fishing involves the use of sinking wobblers. The game is provided by the constant pulling of the rod and the constant reeling of the line, which ensures an attractive play of the roll. If the predator behaves passively, then pauses should be organized during the wiring, during which the pike attacks the bait. The main task of the spinner is to ensure slow and uniform movements so as not to frighten away the predator.

Advantages and disadvantages of using a roll when catching pike and perch

Cranks are not very popular, both among professional spinningists and amateur anglers. The use of such baits requires a high-quality spinning rod, selected only for fishing with rolls. Despite this, catching fish on such wobblers has its advantages. For example:

• The ability to make long casts with the right selection of tackle and bait, as well as adhering to certain recommendations, despite the low weight of the wobbler.
• The range of such wobblers is so large that it is possible to select rolls for specific fishing conditions. In addition, trophy specimens can also be caught on them.
• The presence of noise chambers allows you to attract a predator from a long distance. Acoustic waves equally effectively act both on individual individuals and on entire groups of individuals. As a rule, fish are able to respond to attractive noise from a long distance.
• Each roll is characterized by the presence of its own unique game, therefore, the spinning player does not have to invent anything special. The wobbler attracts a predator thanks to a believable game and a unique coloring. In this case, a minimum of effort is required from the spinner. That is why, rolls are not used in sports fishing, because of the high catchability.

Despite a number of advantages, such wobblers have a number of disadvantages. Firstly, among the many models there are outright fakes that do not have the appropriate technical characteristics. They are not expensive, but they will not pay even the minimum cost of their purchase. Secondly, the high price just scares off, especially beginner spinningists. This statement applies only to models of well-known companies that can be the main competitor in the market for such baits.

In other words, rolls, like many other types of baits, have their positive and negative sides.

There is a sufficient number of negative reviews associated with the acquisition of low-quality designs associated with the presence of factory defects. Most likely, this is due to the products of the Chinese manufacturer, which does not particularly monitor the quality, but is trying to produce popular models, or rather their copies.

Despite this, with the right choice, especially if there are funds for the purchase, a small wobbler can last a long time, catching a lot of fish during this period of time. Maybe sometimes a small fish, but a great mood will be provided, especially if rest was taken as the basis for fishing, and not the number of fish caught.
