One of the most regular baits that are in use today is the wobbler. It is truly an interesting bait to fish with, and everyone who even has a vague plan of fishing in the future would have interest in hearing what it is an how it works.

The main goal of a wobbler is to look as much as an injured fish as possible. You can easily find them in the store by looking for the bait that looks most like a real fish.

The thing that makes wobblers special is the spoon they have in front. The spoon, or guiding spoon, is what decides at what dept the wobbler will swim. It also has some effect on the "wobbly" motion of the bait.

As wobblers have shown that they can catch just about any kind of fish, a lot of companies have started to produce their own variants. The brand of wobblers that most people have heard of is Rapala. They are rightly credited as the creators of wobblers, and have a long history of producing them.

The types of wobblers are usually divided in three categories. These categories are floating, sinking and suspending. Each has their own advantages, and it is important that you use the right one when you fish.

The floating wobbler is bait that floats when you dont put any pressure on it and sinks when reeled in or pulled after a boat. It is very good for fishing in shallow water.

A sinking wobbler is also used quite often. It is a lure that gives the fisherman an opportunity to reach deep water. It sinks when no pressure is on it and rises when reeled in or pulled.

Suspending wobblers is in the middle of the floating and sinking types. Its density makes it float in the water when you don't do anything with it. You can get it in editions that rises when reeled in or editions that sinks when a force is put on it.
