12gm Hex Wobbler Lures - Sea Harvester
Design Features:
Shape and Appearance: The Hex Wobbler gets its name from its hexagonal shape, which allows it to reflect light and create a shimmering effect in the water, mimicking the movements of small baitfish.
Action: As the lure is trolled, its unique shape causes it to wobble, producing vibrations and visual cues that attract predatory fish like Kahawai.
How to Use the Hex Wobbler:
Attach a Swivel: It is recommended to use a swivel with this lure to prevent line twisting due to the wobbling action of the lure. The swivel allows the lure to rotate freely, maintaining the integrity of your fishing line and improving the lure’s action.
Trolling Speed: For optimal results, the Hex Wobbler should be trolled at a speed between 5 and 10 knots. This speed range maximizes the wobbling action of the lure, making it most attractive to Kahawai.
Water Conditions: While the Hex Wobbler can be effective in various water conditions, clear to slightly choppy waters are ideal as they enhance the lure’s reflective qualities and visibility.
Tips for Success:
Rod and Reel Setup: Use a medium-light to medium rod with a good action to feel the lure as it wobbles. A trolling or spinning reel that can maintain the recommended speed will be most effective.
Line Type: Using a braided line with a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader can enhance the lure’s action and ensure durability against Kahawai’s sharp teeth.
Additional Rigging: Depending on the fishing conditions and Kahawai's activity, you might consider adding a teaser ahead of the Hex Wobbler or using a tandem rig to increase visibility and mimic a small school of fish.
The Hex Wobbler is a staple in the tackle boxes of many New Zealand anglers due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Whether you are new to fishing or an experienced angler, the Hex Wobbler offers a reliable option for enhancing your fishing experience and increasing your chances of landing Kahawai.
