Many anglers are faced with a situation where they don’t have enough money to buy lures from a well-known brand, but they don’t want to buy a Chinese one-time fake, which has flooded the fishing goods market in recent years. In such a situation, it remains to look at the goods of the middle price range. So 17 years ago, the creators of replicas of famous models, Kosadaka, thought. Wobblers for pike produced by the company differed from competitors in high quality and affordable price.
Kosadaka in the shortest possible time from a start-up company selling replicas of advanced brands, turned into a company with a range of products for fishing of its own design: new wobblers, rods, reels, fishing line, cords, silicone lures. “Kosadaka CO., LTD Kyoto, Japan”, under this logo, a laboratory was created in Japan, which employs hundreds of design and development engineers. In the Japanese laboratory, test tests of products are carried out, and only then the factories in China, Malaysia, and Korea begin to produce products, which ensures the highest competitive quality and affordable price for the consumer.
Wobbler classification
When developing a classifier of fishing lures more than a hundred years ago, in order to streamline a large range of wobblers, it was decided to take as a basis the physical properties, color, type, size, nature of the game. The classifier is divided according to the following factors:
Degree of Buoyancy:
- floating (Floating);
- weakly floating (Slow Floating);
- having neutral buoyancy – suspenders (Suspending);
- slowly sinking (Slow Sinking);
- sinking (Sinking);
- fast-sinking (Fast Sinking).
Body shape:
Minnows
Wobbler Kosadaka Nota Minnow XS 70F NCR 70mm 4.0g 0.4-1.0m
Minnow wobblers require certain skills from the angler in terms of bait animation. Due to its swaying body, the bait is passive and requires control of its movement in the water column.
Shad
Kosadaka Shade XL 50F
With this type of wobblers, unlike Minnow, on a pause at the end of the posting or tightening, you can watch your own game.
Fat
Kosadaka BOXER XS 45F
The short spherical body in combination with the noise chamber inside helps to be an attractive and long-range bait on a uniform haul.
Rattlin
Kosadaka Rat Vib
Universal bait, suitable for fishing in summer, in winter on a plumb line from the hole, thanks to the cord attached to the back of the wobbler. High-frequency play from the first turn of the coil is provided by a wide frontal part, which compensates for the absence of a blade.
Swimbait
Kosadaka Cord-R XS 90SP MHT
Composite wobbler, in most cases, with neutral buoyancy, it has a smooth and expressive play on wiring pauses.
Stickbait
Lucky Craft Gunfish 117 BP Golden Shiner
A difficult to control bait, which, like Minnow wobblers, requires animation skills from the angler, since there is no own game, is characterized by negative buoyancy.
Topwater A class of wobblers that has 4 subclasses:
Walker
Kosadaka Glide Walker 70F
The wobbler is capable of both good animation with smooth wiring, and independent oscillations during pauses. With strong jerks, sharp broaches, it makes squelching sounds, attracting a predator.
Popper
Kosadaka SOL Popper 65
Surface bait with noise capsules located inside. Capsules help to balance the popper and cast long distances. The wide throat of the mouth captures a small amount of air and, dragging it along under the water, makes squelching sounds during posting.

A rare type of wobbler structure with two blades located in the head part, thanks to which the Crauler rolls from side to side, leaving behind a trail typical of it.
Proper/Propbait

Active surface wobbler with a body equipped with a two-bladed propeller. This bait is effective on uniform slow wiring, less often with broaches and jerks.
Depth level.
- Super Shallow Runners – SSR (30 cm depth);
- Shallow runners – SR (до 1 м);
- Medium deep runners – MDR ( 1,2-2 м);
- Deep divers – DD (3-4 м);
- Extra deep divers – EDD/XDD (4-6 m).
Criterias of choice
The algorithm for choosing a wobbler for specific conditions depends on its physical properties:
- the size;
- colors;
- depth level;
- constructive.
The size of the wobbler depends on the period of fishing. There is an opinion that in the fall it is necessary to choose large baits, the pike attacks them, because it saves strength and does not want to chase after the “little thing”.
The choice of colors, as well as the size of the wobbler, depends on the season, time of day, water transparency. In the spring and summer, acid colors are used, and in the fall, more restrained – “machine oil”.
The depth level is chosen for a specific area with its bottom topography and water level in it, and the presence of vegetation is also taken into account, and at what height from the bottom the predator is experimentally determined.
The design and shape of the body also affect the result, the pike in most cases prefers Minnow wobblers, and the noise capsules inside the body make the wobbler more catchy.
How to catch, which wobbler to choose, how not to lose interest?
