How to Catch Fish on Wobbler Fishing Lure?
Find a convenient place to cast. It is advisable to see where the local fishermen are catching. Start fishing 2 hours before sunset.
Start casting your wobbler as far as possible toward the ocean. After the wobbler has dropped, you need to wait a few seconds while it sinks to a depth of 2 to 5 meters. While fishing, it is important to change different types of wobblers at least every 20 minutes. Until one of them does not like the fish and starts biting.
Next step. Rotate the reel quickly. The number of revolutions per second is an individual approach. Predatory fish will bite sharply and you need in time to bite it additionally so that the triple hooks are deeply in and fixed in the mouth of the fish.
Once the fish is caught (the reel will emit a characteristic crackle), you, without loosening the line, try to pull the fish to shore. The first minutes are usually the most active and it is important to turn the fish head to shore if it pulls to depth.
The decisive step. Pull it to land. You can use a net or a boat hook, or throw it into the shallows. Experienced anglers take the fish by the gills in shallow water and bring it to shore.
If you do not need the fish for food, you need to carefully remove it from the hook and release it into the water.
Important. To make fishing comfortable and safe supplement your equipment with Rapala tools. Then in the process of hunting, you will not have any problems or unexpected situations. I hope my tips and video will help you catch your fish!

I liked your article, very valuable. Learned how to pick up and the technique of fishing on a hard wobbler. In the video, I see how best to “play” the wobbler to deceive the fish and make it bite and angry. You have to tug and up and down, to the side and to yourself. Visually saw and will master this skill. Just pulling even a perfect wobbler is not enough, especially during the day and in clear water.
I would like you to add more information from me on soft wobblers. They are more mobile in the water and therefore more like a really small fish. Buy these wobblers, which have an additional attachment on the jig head. Then it will last longer, will move properly in the water, and will not turn and get off the offset hook. Look carefully at my photo and everything will become clear. Thanks again.
I happened to read your article on wobblers for novice fishermen. Completely agree with it and will practically apply your advice. There’s a full and varied set of different wobbler designs. Some of them I have been using for a long time and have been successful. Your bias is more towards fishing from the ocean, and I live near a large lake. Such tackle works in freshwater as well. Write in more detail your advice. Some things you have to guess for yourself.
Your article contains a lot of text and video about the jig fishing techniques, but very little about how far to cast silicone or plastic light bait to successfully catch fish. It is well known that to throw a bait less than 10 grams you need a special rod and fishing skill. In order to do this, simply invented additional equipment – a bombarda. Bombard allows you to move the bait up to 100 meters from the shore. I will show whoever is interested how the bombard can be assembled. This design strengthens it (it does not bend and break the center tube due to the strong line) and makes it easy to quickly attach to the main line and change leads. The most successful fishing with this rig is when the bombard is near the bottom of the body of water. To do this, you have to wait at least 1 minute after casting and then only pull it.

Your content valuable for me. I have learnt how to pick up and the technique of fishing on a hard wobbler.
