Wobblers TSUYOKI (Tsueki): rating of the best, an alternative to the original

Wobblers are widely used for catching predatory fish species, both in our country and abroad. On the shelves of specialized stores you can see a huge variety of these baits, which differ in size, shape and coloring. At the same time, there are expensive branded models and their cheap counterparts, or rather, their copies.

When it comes to products of Chinese origin, then opinions differ. Although this is understandable, since the Chinese produce completely different products, including those of dubious quality. As a rule, these are cheap products made from dubious materials, and quite often from waste, which is the reason for the cheapness. Oddly enough, the first models of TSUYOKI wobblers showed a completely different side of the Chinese manufacturer, aimed at improving quality, despite the low cost.

At the first stages, this company mastered the production of copies of high-quality wobblers, known for their catchability and which were produced by world-famous companies. Over time, the company learned to produce high-quality copies at low prices, which successfully replaced branded models. Unfortunately, this did not positively affect the competitiveness of lures at the global level. But, on the other hand, the Chinese managed to master the Russian market, where the price is a fundamental factor when choosing baits.

Moreover, the company began production of new products developed by the company itself. With the advent of the TSUYOKI wobbler, it became possible to purchase an inexpensive, but high-quality product. Those anglers who have purchased this product speak well of this model.

About Us

Despite the fact that the products are manufactured in China, this company is not completely Chinese, since the management of this company is located in Moscow. The Russian company “Goldriver” is the owner of the TSUYOKI brand. Before starting the production of such products, the company carried out a number of surveys in this area, regarding the material part of future products and its normal functioning. Experts worked both from the company itself and from outside. As a result of testing several samples, the one that is most suitable for production on modern equipment using modern materials was chosen.

Wobblers manufactured by this company belong to the category of economy class. Moreover, the price / quality ratio is the most promising in relation to other well-known structures of this class.

This company produces products divided into eight main categories. It:

• Cranky;
• Poppers;
• Minnow;
• Rattlins;
• Gray;
• Joints;
• Compiled;
• Walker.

These eight categories contain up to one and a half hundred names of these baits. As a rule, this list includes some modifications of wobblers. For example:

• floating;
• suspenders (with neutral buoyancy);
• sinking

In addition, it is worth noting the significant color range of various colorings. There are at least 150 different shades. Since the beginning of production, more than 2 thousand modifications of TSUYOKI wobblers have been produced.

At the same time, the company does not sell single copies, but sells products in bulk, in the amount of at least 10 thousand rubles, and only to wholesale buyers. The company has its own website, through which access to the order department is provided, but only after moderation. After registration of all documents, the products can be delivered directly by the company or the appropriate transport company.

Inexpensive alternative to the original “Japanese”

Is it possible to say that TSUYOKI wobblers are high-quality, although not expensive lures? If you follow the principle that the more expensive the product, the better it is, then this statement does not apply to this development, since it costs less than well-known expensive models. But if you follow the statements of the anglers, then this cheap wobbler is quite catchy and can compete with the well-known “Japanese”.

It is noted that the production of TSUYOKI wobblers is accompanied by minor defects and shortcomings associated with the use of low-quality tees or the presence of minor chips. Such shortcomings are easily eliminated by replacing the existing tees, and the chipped areas are glued with special glue.

Despite this, TSUYOKI models are very popular and are known to many spinning players.

Rating of the best TSUYOKI wobblers

Despite the large number of modifications of such baits, there are the most successful and catchy options that catch a predator well.

TsuYoki Rodger

This is a bait, 13 cm long and weighing 20 grams. At the same time, it should be noted that the wobbler is a copy of the Japanese Orbit wobbler, which is not produced in this length. In other words, TSUYOKI has reproduced its own version of the famous Japanese model. Many fishermen would like to have in their arsenal the Orbit model, 13 cm long, and the Chinese company helped them a lot. The model is characterized by the presence of bright “acid” tones that attract pike.

Watson 130

The length of the bait is 128 mm, with a weight of 24 grams. At the first stage, test tests of the wobbler were carried out, where it proved to be better than branded developers such as “rudra” and “balisong”, due to the slow ascent.

This limited the posting time. In order to somehow neutralize this effect, the manufacturers increased its weight so that it was neutral in buoyancy. The weight of the bait can be reduced or increased due to the fittings on the bait. This wobbler can be cast over a long distance due to the presence of two metal balls. Unfortunately, his game looks a little sluggish and not interesting with even wiring.

Draga130 (SP)

This copy is an exact clone of the famous Deps prototype. Quite an effective lure with Owner hooks installed on it, which are characterized by high strength.

Works great on slow speeds. At the same time, it should be recalled that the original model is equipped with weaker hooks than its Chinese copy.

Draga130 (F)

The weight of the artificial bait corresponds to 23 g and it has excellent buoyancy. Unfortunately, this factor significantly affects its effectiveness. To hold the bait in the water column, you need fast and active wiring, which requires a lot of effort and serious physical preparation from the spinner. The Chinese copy lacks this flaw, which makes the lure less buoyant. This factor has changed the game of the bait and made it more effective.

MOVER128 (SP) TsuYoki

This wobbler weighs 26g and is able to go one and a half meters deep. When posting, the bait performs wide horizontal movements, which attracts a predator. The bait is equipped with sharp tees from Owner.

HARD-130 (SP)

The bait weighs 13,5g. It is especially effective when catching a toothy predator, which is attracted by its size and acceptable game.

GERA-130 (SP)

The development weight is 20g. This model is an exact copy of the Japanese Feed Contact Node-130 minnow. In both versions, a system is installed to facilitate long-distance casting. The Chinese copy is more lively than the original.

TsuYoki DUST-115 (SP)

It is a relatively light model, weighing only 16,5g. The development is a copy of the famous Japanese wobbler.

“K1MinnowHime”, which is produced by the equally well-known Japanese company “HMKL”. A similar Japanese model is intended for the domestic market. It is used for wiring at a depth of about 1m and is distinguished by the presence of flat sides.

DRON 125 (F)

The bait is easy to identify by the presence of a hump located on her back. The mass of the wobbler is 22,5 g. Designed for fishing at a depth of 0,8m. You should pay attention to the fact that tees are installed on the wobbler that do not correspond to its size. To eliminate this drawback, the tees should be replaced with more powerful ones. Wobbler is especially effective in shallow water.

MOVER-100 (SP)

This is a copy of the famous Pointer-100 wobbler, produced by the same well-known company Lucky Craft. The copy has a more frisky behavior when posting.

Features of TsuYoki models

When choosing artificial lures, first of all, pay attention to their capabilities. If there is enough money for inexpensive Chinese copies, then the answer is clear, since it is simply impossible to buy Japanese models. And if there is enough money for both designs, then when choosing them, several factors should be taken into account that can affect the effectiveness of the fishing process.

For example:

• The Japanese produce lures focused on marine, mirror shades. At the same time, they do not take into account that our pike prefers “acid” colors. Firm TsuYoki specializes in “acid” tones.
• Despite the fact that the Chinese stamp copies, their quality is at a high level.
• The Chinese copies have a stronger coating than the Japanese originals. With prolonged use, Chinese copies retain their performance characteristics longer, which cannot be said about the “Japanese”.
• TsuYoki began equipping its designs with higher quality hooks than at the initial stage of production.

Of course, it should be noted that TsuYoki is copying well-known models, adopting such a concept as: “why reinvent the wheel”, especially since there are so many original models that it is difficult to come up with something new and unique. This is also due to the fact that wobblers are a special type of artificial bait that imitates not only the movement of a fish, but also resembles it, both in shape and in color. In any case, the market should be provided with products designed for a buyer of any category.
