Trolling is a fishing method that many fishermen consider passive, and therefore boring and uninteresting. This is far from true. Trolling is capable of delivering no less emotions, and in terms of the size of the trophy, it clearly outperforms other types of fishing. It would seem that it could be simpler: cast a fishing rod, start a boat and just ride around the pond, waiting for a bite. But if you do not know how to pick up gear, then you will either be content with fry, or even return home with empty cages.
The traditional tackle here is a wobbler, but there are several mandatory requirements for it:
- the size;
- strength;
- activity.
The bottom line is that when trolling, you do not have the ability to independently animate the movement of the gear. In the latter case, it is quite difficult. It is important that the bait itself plays in the water. Moved horizontally and vertically without effort on the part of the fisherman.With regard to size and strength, you should choose the most powerful equipment. Trolling is designed for big trophies that will struggle and just won't give up. But with the form and color, everything is individual. Such parameters are selected depending on the conditions in which fishing takes place. In addition, each fish has its own preferences, and habitats may change. In our rating, we will consider the most current models of wobblers that work at different depths and are perfect for trolling.
The best wobblers for trolling at depth
Most large predators prefer to stay at depth all the time. It is easier to hunt here, there are many hiding places and the water is always warmer than on the surface. For example, pike perch likes to wait for its prey, standing at the edge of the bottom pit. The catfish does not rise from the shelter at all and can only be caught with a sinking bait. If you fish in cold weather, then there will be no one at the surface. The features of such a wobbler will be in color. Near the bottom it is dark, and bright, aggressive colors are included. Moreover, the darker the water, the brighter the tackle should be. The acoustic effect will be a separate plus.
Top 5. BANDIT DEEP WALLEYE 03
- Average price: 590 rubles.
- Country: USA
- Type: minnow
- Length (mm): 120
- Weight (g): 17.5
- Working depth (m): 8.1
Before us is a catchy wobbler, to which zander, pike and even perch react. Its coloring is as neutral as possible for great depth. The body is silvery, similar to the natural color of the fry. Back with blue. But the main feature is the glow effect. Moreover, this is not luminescent paint, but phosphor plastic. That is, the coating will not be erased and will not burn out after a while.Also note the possibility of changing the animation. Without a jig, the Bandit moves smoothly horizontally, and from slight twitches, it begins to behave more aggressively. In general, an excellent catchy wobbler, but too often faked by unscrupulous dealers.
- Universal color
- Phosphorescent plastic
- Controlled Animation
- Fakes are very common
- Weak tees as standard
Top 4. Bomber Deep Long A B25A
The lure is coated with a special luminescent paint and equipped with metal balls that create an acoustic effect even at great depths. A combination of factors allows us to call the wobbler the most catchy.

- Country: USA (made in China)
- Type: minnow
- Length (mm): 114
- Weight (g): 21
- Working depth (m): 7.5
Wobbler Bomber is an excellent option for catching an apathetic predator, for example, in the cold. He has a lot of triggers, both primary and secondary. For example, the manufacturer uses a special paint that glows in the dark, but not aggressively, but only slightly marking the tackle. The acoustic effect created by the balls inside the fish also works. In fact, we have the most catchy wobbler, if not for a rather weak design. Bomber is not a monolithic tackle. The blade and rings are simply screwed in, which significantly weakens these places. In addition, the plastic is not impact-resistant, and in a collision with an obstacle, there is a high probability of cracks, which in the future will lead to loss of tackle.
- Powerful acoustic effect
- Fluorescent paint
- Gold plated tees
- Weak ring fastening
- Not impact resistant plastic
- Ring on front blade

Experienced fishermen have long been legends about the quality of the equipment of the German brand German, and this is not just. The manufacturer's products are really very reliable and serve for many years. At the same time, its price is not shocking, which is clearly confirmed by this wobbler, which can be called a budget one.
The wobbler itself is very durable and is made using the technology of full casting, that is, the tackle is monolithic, and its blade is one with the body. Herman's tee rings and fishing line are also molded into the mold, which almost completely eliminates all weak points on such gear. As for the animation, it's pretty sharp here. Zander or pike, which descended to a depth of 9 meters, responds well to such a game.
- budget price
- Cast ring fastening system
- Resistant paint
- No smooth animation
- Solid eyes without 3D effect
Top 2. MIKADO Rocket PWF-RT-12F-60

Trolling at great depths always comes with the risk of leaving the tackle on the bottom.This is not very pleasant, especially considering that the wobblers are not budget and it is a pity to part with them. With this model, the probability of separation tends to zero. The design is thought out in such a way that when it collides with any obstacle, the wobbler does not cling to it, but bounces up. In addition, the tackle is not afraid of blows. It is made in the form of a monolith, where the blade is one with the body. As you know, this is the weakest point in wobblers. And by production shock-resistant plastic is used. All these factors together make the tackle the best in terms of reliability and durability.
- Monolithic construction
- impact resistant plastic
- Non-engaging system
- Often forged model
- Always the same animation

The best wobblers for surface trolling
The most common trophy when trolling near the surface is pike, and provided that your wobbler is about 10 centimeters in size, you can count on a fairly large trophy. Pike respond best to tackle that makes smooth horizontal movements. Without sharp jerks and changes in depth. The color is better to take a neutral, more natural. There is a lot of light near the surface and aggressive coloring is more likely to scare away a predator than to lure it. Another common trophy is perch. He likes faster gear, and in terms of color preferences it does not differ from pike.

Original Floating is a unique wobbler capable of catching any fish and with any technique.

The tackle has a lot of secrets, from the original color to the complex acoustic effect. Some of the factors will definitely work and the trophy will be caught. Such a bait definitely deserves a higher position in the rating, but due to the price, we cannot give it away. Of course, the brand is popular all over the world and can set any prices, but almost a thousand rubles is too much for many.In addition, the design here is not monolithic, which means that it is not necessary to count on years of service.

- Country: China
- Type: minnow
- Length (mm): 90
- Weight (g): 10
Before us is a budget wobbler, which definitely deserves attention. Firstly, it is very durable, as it is made in the form of a monolith, where the blade and rings are not just screwed into the body, but are one with it. Secondly, an additional acoustic effect is used here, making the tackle as catchy as possible and affecting most types of fish. In general, a great option for your money, but you should understand that its main purpose is fishing in dark water. Yes, the wobbler is superficial, but its colors are too aggressive for pike to rush at them. Such a bait is suitable for fishing in dark, cloudy weather and preferably during the zhora period, when the caution of predators falls.
- Large acoustic chambers
- The most budget price
- Too aggressive colors
- Thin tees

Many people remember this method of applying paint from the once popular three-dimensional pictures. The bottom line is that several colors are used at once, harmonizing with each other, and the paint itself has a luminescent base. Wherever the fish is, she will definitely notice the shine of the tackle and react to it. In addition, only natural shades are used here, which the pike loves so much. It is also impossible not to mention the overall quality of the bait. MIKADO knows a lot about what materials to use. Impact-resistant plastic makes the tackle as reliable as possible, and initially not the cheapest wobbler becomes quite budgetary, as it will last for many years.

If you need a universal, catchy wobbler, to which pike, zander, and even perch will react in the same way, then it is in front of you. The secret of effectiveness lies in the use of three color schemes: silver, gold and red. These are triggers that affect different predators. But here they look the most harmonious. The colors flow smoothly and complement each other perfectly. We also note the standard form, thanks to which you can adjust the animation yourself by changing the wiring.With normal trolling, the wobbler will move in an arc, luring pike, and with a jig you change the movement to a more aggressive one, conducive to catching zander.
