I want to remind you that I'm doing a series of articles "to Catch a trophy and not go broke on the baits!"
Passed long path of formation of the Fisher-trifasico (hunter of big fish) and having tried countless lures from brands and homemade, I identified myself to the universal (which work almost everywhere) and efficient of them. Realizing that if each angler to undergo the same selection by trial and error, then it will accumulate a bunch of unclaimed gear, I decided to save money, "voice", issuing from a minimal set of the best, in my opinion, lures in the most interesting, from the point of view of fishing, predators.
My first publication of such charts for PIKE showed that this my work is not useless and causes the response and interest from the fishing community . So I'll continue...
Don't be surprised if different types of predators in the hit parade of lures will be the intersection. I am an ardent supporter of the universalization and minimalist "fishing stuff" in the boat. Therefore, if a lure has proven to be ,for example, Zander and perch at the same time, I'm not looking for another just under the perch. Do stock the universal... This minimizes costs and lets you have a working box at least lures with maximum possible result.
Today the focus of one of the most coveted and hard-won trophies at first - ZANDER.
The zander is perhaps the most capricious predator of our waters. It's not uncommon for yesterday evening, it is actively evil thrashed by your baits and you felt a bite on almost every transaction and today place the zander in place, but clear of bites is not ((. In such situations, it often helps radical change of lure and the method of animation. For example, silicone bait on the hinge mounting to move the same, but on a jig-head. Or even to offer the zander oscillating the spinner with impressive play in the phase of falling...
Go over my work box, selecting from all variety of best of the best!
- Wobblers
Zander often prefers the depths, so lures for catching him in the daytime have a common characteristic - they are all "deep", on relatively significant depth (5-7+ metres).
In those days, when I have not yet been advanced modern fish-search equipment kit, and stood a simple vertical sounder Phiranha, I often used the following search strategy when fishing zander: Dissolve 35-40 meters from the boat trolling tackle with lure, and went along the selected edge from 4 to 7 meters, tracking to the instrument. And if in some area the edge happened the zander bite was anchored and fished this place a jig. This search strategy often leads to success. And Wobbler for the search I used is always the same. With him, perhaps , and here we go :
a.) Yo-Zuri (DUEL) Hardcore Long Bill 90SP (90 mm) in the colors of the HSAY( or HSH) and HT on catalogo
This Wobbler has perfectly proved and in catching spinning, across the sideline, when you swipe your blade across the bottom.
b.) YO-ZURI Crystal Minnow Deep Diver 130mm Color GHRH and GT catalogue
In casting this lure will catch not very comfortable, but for the search strategy using the trolling he's a good fit ! The depth of application of 6-8+ feet.
V.) Pontoon21 Kalikana Vib 65 Silent or Nano Sound, 65 mm, sinking, weight of 16.5 grams. Color directory - R60F Silver Back WF.
This is a bladeless Wobbler class Vib. I use it instead of jig baits when fishing out of the terrain and ridges with depths up to 9 meters
- Spoon
For Zander I use just one spoon in several scales - ACME KASTMASTER 14, 21, 28 grams.
The most versatile color - silver ( CH catalog), although bring success and color CHNG and CHNB. The same weight and color I use when hunting the asp and perch!
I am sure that for Zander other pilker models of spoons, but again, I am a supporter of minimalism and universalization ;-).
- Silicone lures
.) Vibrohvost - Pontoon21 Awaruna 4" (5 pieces in a pack, price of 190 rubles). Color catalog - 105, 206, 401, 403, 407, 410, 425, 426 depending on the time of year and water clarity. I most work well of natural colors - dark top-light bottom and not cutting the eye provocative color. Snap-swivel with double or offset hook (in the snags). Posting speed.
(C) the directory flowers.
As you can see, the intersection with the "pike" hit parade (the universality - our everything!).
b.) Vibrohvost Pontoon21 Ratta 4,25". Color directory - 105, 403, 404, 407, 410, 434.
A snap - in swivel with the big-eared sinker , double or offset the hook (driftwood). Wiring stage, with options for some jetés or detonation.
V.) Vibrohvost Lunker City Shaker 4.5". Color directory - 006, 230, 143, 135, 174, 191, 240, 169.
This vibrohvost works great around the Volga reservoir cascade over. The game has a powerful tail blade. Active walleye - out of competition. Snap-on jig-head or swivel with double or offset hook ( driftwood).
As spinners, we review not 3, and only one, then I will add their recommendations to the lures for perch a couple of diys ( buy is also possible, but you can do it yourself quite capable)
- No. 1** it is Certainly a foam fish. Size 10-12 cm, color of foam: black,green, and blue (different shades). This lure good catches of walleye, pike, perch more than a dozen years, and have it in different colors in your box is a must!
I have published earlier how to make porolono their hands here...
- No. 2** - Streamer fishing jigs with swivel snap. Slightly more complicated to manufacture than foam fish, but is also quite capable! But it catches properly. On the last trip to the Ivankovskoe reservoir (28.07-30.07.2017) all specimens were caught it is on the streamer.

Perhaps listed in this review baits will be enough to safely count on success in capturing such a difficult fish, like zander!
