Wobblers for catfish have been the main spinning bait for fishing for many years shad. Glitter, which was not so long ago a favorite of shad in fishing spining, are used less and less for this predator.

Since then, the competition of various companies for the production of these artificial baits has started. You can read how the first wobblers came about in my article.

Of course, this list is not an axiom. Every angler has his own list of the best baits, but a beginner angler will have an idea of which wobblers are suitable for shad fishing. Also, let's not forget that we can make wobblers ourselves. In this case, we would like to remember Lauri Rapala. For the sake of common knowledge, let's remember that the legendary Finn carved his first wobbler from spruce bark with his own hands in 1936. Why are we worse?
