Deadbait wobbling rod

Post by Andy Jarvis »

I have a couple of Korum All Rounder rods, 1.5TC would these be ok for wobbling small deadbaits, bear in mind these roads will stop a double figure barbel

IMO I can’t see there being any problems in using them Andy

Thanks Tom, I didn't think there would be an issue as I'm chucking out loaded 65g cage feeders along with PVA bags of pellets when barbel fishing.

The only thing I would be a little unsure about is setting the hooks on the strike as these rods are okay but maybe not quite enough backbone when trying to get those hooks set.
Its not that I don't rate the Korum allrounders as I have a set myself and love using them for Perch,Tench and the odd small Carp but I wouldn't use them for Pike.

It depends on the water you fish and if your on the bank or a boat.
For years I used a 10ft Avon with sprats and single hook rig and never lost a fish because of its lack of power. Hooking was just a case of letting the fish turn away pointing the tip down the line (8lb mono) and using the butt to pull the hook in.

The majority of my piking is wobbling and these days I use a P2.

Using a single circle hook with a braided line then maybe , but then I would still prefer something with a bit more backbone .

I agree, gear is very personal and these days we have far more choice.
In the early '60's rods were glass or cane with ferrules, wire was Alasticum, only the sprats were superior.

From my point of view, I have pike rods, 3LB test curve, I have a lure fishing outfit 8ft 14-44grm, I was merely trying to make do with what I have rather than buy another rod and reel at this point, in the past I used to use an 11ft 2.25 TC carp rod for wobbling and float fishing small baits.

On a personal preference a 11ft 2 to 2.5 tc would seem a better option as it could double as a short range float rod also with the option of nearly all other scenarios.

You can almost use anything but to chuck wobbled deads really needs something very soft in the top section or you will get through baits very fast. Soft in the top and a bit of grunt from the mid to the butt. Mr. Lumb makes the Duellist which is great and available in differing casting weights, other rods from lesser stables are available.

I use my medium lure rod. 8ft, maybe 40-80g rated. Keep the lure trace on, just clip on an additional short wobbling mini-trace.

Probably more out of sentimentality but I like the ole Wilson specialists for wobbling, they are 11 foot pound and three quarter test and if I’m honest softer than baby poo. Wouldn’t want a big fish on one though and I have to strike relatively hard to set hooks with them but don’t cast off to many baits, I tend to use coarse baits for wobbling. No doubt there are far more effective rods for the job though!👍

I have been told today that the blanks I built Duellist on are now discontinued.

I blame Brexit. The blanks were originally made for some German firm. :laughs:

No need to strike on pike mate, when you get a take wobbling, just give it a little bit of slack, and then wind down. Rog

depends on what rods you have with you when you decide to wobble your baits , i would say 2lb upwards myself , but have used lighter when the opportunity presents its self .....

Maybe not ideal but Im sure they will be ok and really depends on where you are going to use them and bait size, so have a go!
