Recently, this type of fishing is gaining more and more popularity. trolling. This is due, first of all, to the fact that many fishermen have boats, which increases the angler’s chances of luck. From the boat you can catch various hard-to-reach places, which cannot be done from the shore. As a rule, with the help of trolling, predatory fish are caught. The technology of trolling is that, having chosen the minimum speed and lowering an artificial bait into the water, they follow the fairway of the river.
As a result, the bait plays under the action of the movement of the boat, and the predator, having noticed it, attacks. You can use wobblers, silicones, turntables, oscillators, etc. as bait. This article will talk about wobblers used for trolling. Not all models are suitable for this, due to the special requirements for this type of lure, based on the characteristics of trolling fishing. What wobbler to take for trolling fishing:
- Depending on the depth of the reservoir, a wobbler is also selected. For greater depths, deep-diving wobblers-divers with a long longitudinal blade are selected.
- Such wobblers should play well at various wiring speeds. At the same time, the characteristics of the wobbler must correspond to the declared ones, which cheap Chinese specimens may not be capable of. In such cases, it is best to use baits of well-known companies, and not their copies. It is quite possible that it is much more expensive, but if you want to have a certain performance, then it makes sense to spend money.
- The size and weight do not play a special role, since you do not have to throw it far. It descends into the water almost at the boat itself, and the game and the depth of immersion are set by the speed of the boat. But here a double-edged sword, as they say. The fact is that you won’t troll at high speeds, since you can scare away all the fish, and at minimum speed, not every wobbler will be able to show the correct game.
