This premium manufacturer is not only known in the trout fishing scene. Perch, zander, and other fish also love the manufacturer's lures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind every \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHMKL wobbler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e lies a long and intensive development phase. Designer \u003cem\u003eKazuma-Izumi\u003c\/em\u003e, one of Japan's most renowned and longest-active anglers, pours all his experience and energy into perfecting his artificial lures. As a result, all \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHMKL wobblers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e boast extremely good running characteristics, making these lures true fish-catching guarantees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHMKL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e also places great importance on realistic color schemes and lure shapes for all its hardbaits. Thus, during the production of the wobblers, pearl effect coatings or so-called \"Mylar Blades\" built into the interior, i.e., reflective hologram foils, are often used. The full effect is revealed when the lures are moved back and forth in the light and, of course, primarily by their fishing success in the water, which is why I have included these lures in the online shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHMKL - Zagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e was specially developed for use on the bottom, and here the motto is, less is sometimes more. Especially cautious or passive fish fall prey to the \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tungsten weight on the diving lip ensures quick sinking (FS - Fast Sinking) of the lure. The use of tungsten for the weight on the diving lip provides excellent detection of the bottom. Tungsten is also significantly \u003cem\u003esmaller than lead\u003c\/em\u003e for the same weight and \u003cem\u003enon-toxic\u003c\/em\u003e. This weight also ensures a permanent \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e45° angle position of the lure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. This, in addition to a very good bite yield, reduces the risk of snagging, as the hooks are lifted off the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cem\u003elength of 38mm\u003c\/em\u003e and a \u003cem\u003eweight of 2.8g\u003c\/em\u003e, it perfectly fits the prey pattern of many predatory fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe so-called \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Bottom Bumping\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e has proven to be the most effective retrieval technique for the \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. Here, you let the lure sink to the bottom (keep the line slightly taut!). Then, the lure is gently lifted with the rod tip or 1-2 crank turns are made, and then the lure is allowed to sink back to the bottom, where it stands upright. Most bites occur precisely during this phase. Therefore, do not make the pauses too short. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Slow movement with pauses is the key to success here,\" because trout often react to the sinking phase (sinking pellets) rather than the actual movement of the lure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, you can also drag the \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e very slowly over the bottom. This stirs up a lot of \"dust,\" which also attracts trout. Here, a fleeing prey animal, such as small crabs or fish, is imitated. Here, too, you should occasionally include smaller pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: \u003cem\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e should be fished slowly, close to the bottom, and with a lot of feel. Because the bite often comes precisely when you are doing nothing.
