Wobblers, rooster jigs in the Sportano shop Spinning fishing, being one of the most popular forms of angling, is constantly evolving with the introduction of innovative lures and techniques. Among the wide range of spinning lures, two of them - crankbaits and cock jigs - stand out for their uniqueness and effectiveness. Wobblers, with their variety of shapes, colours and swimming patterns, have been a favourite lure of many anglers for years. Rooster jigs, on the other hand, relatively new to the market, are gaining popularity due to their effectiveness in catching a variety of fish species.
In the Sportano shop you will find crankbaits and cock jigs from renowned brands such as GUNKI, Abu Garcia, Rapala, Savage Gear, Strike Pro or Salmo.
Wobblers: Basics and Types in SpinningWobblers are one of the most versatile and popular lures in spinning fishing. Their uniqueness lies in their ability to imitate the movements of live fish or other aquatic organisms, making them extremely attractive to predators. Among crankbaits, there are several basic types, each with its own specific use and guiding technique.
Floating crankbaits are designed to stay on the surface of the water when not guided. They are ideal for fishing in shallow bodies of water or over aquatic vegetation. Their guiding often involves rhythmic jerking, which mimics the movements of an injured fish.
Sinking crankbaits, as the name suggests, gradually sink when not guided. They are ideal for exploring deeper water and can be used in a wide variety of conditions. Anglers often use them to fish in areas where fish are at greater depths.
Mid-swimming crankbaits have the unique feature of stopping and suspending at a specific depth. These lures are particularly effective for catching wary fish that are suspicious of lures. They allow the lure to be exposed for a longer period of time in a place where fish can spot it.
The shape and size of the crankbait have a decisive influence on its swimming and attractiveness. Longer and slender wobblers are usually used to imitate small fish, while shorter and rounder ones imitate other aquatic organisms such as frogs. Choosing the right shape and size of crankbait is crucial and should be adapted to the specific conditions of the fishery and to the behaviour and preferences of the fish you intend to catch.
The colouring of wobblers is not only a question of aesthetics, but above all of effectiveness. Depending on the water and light conditions, different colours may be more or less visible to the fish. On bright, sunny days, lures in natural colours work better, while on cloudy days or in murky water, wobblers in bright colours have a better effect.
Last but not least are the techniques for guiding crankbaits. Different techniques, such as steady guiding, jerking or stop-and-go (stop and go), can imitate different prey behaviour, which is crucial for successful fishing. Experimenting with different techniques and observing the reaction of the fish allows you to adapt your method to specific conditions and increases your chances of success.Cock Jigs: Innovative Lures in Spinning Cock Jigs, also known as 'jig heads', are a revolution in the world of spinning lures. Their uniqueness comes from combining a traditional jig head with colourful, dynamic hairs or materials, creating a lure that attracts the attention of fish both visually and with movement.
The basic element of a cock jig is a metal head, often lead, which serves as a sinker. Attached to this head are bristles or other materials, such as silicone, which form the 'tail' of the lure. This combination gives the cock jigs unique hydrodynamic properties and a look and movement that is attractive to fish.
It is this combination of weight and 'tail' that makes cock jigs so effective. The tail movements mimic prey such as small fish or insects, and the varied colour palette makes the lures visible and attractive in a variety of water conditions. In addition, the ability to adjust the weight of the head allows for effective fishing at different depths.
Roosters are versatile and can be used in a variety of conditions. They are particularly effective when fishing for predators such as pike, perch and zander. They can be used in both rivers and lakes, making them versatile lures.
When guiding cock jigs, experimenting with different techniques is key. One popular method is jigging, which is the rhythmic raising and lowering of the lure. Another method is steady guiding, where the lure is guided at a constant depth. Also, the stop-and-go (stop and go) technique is effective because it imitates the behaviour of an injured body, which is particularly attractive to predators.
Choosing the right roosterfish depends on the conditions of the fishery. Depth, the speed of the water current and the activity of the fish must be taken into account. Different head weights allow the lure to be adapted to the depth, while the variety of colours and sizes of the 'tails' allows the lure to be matched to the visual conditions and food preferences of the fish.
