This premium manufacturer is not only found in the trout sector. Perch, zander, and co. 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, puts 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 have extremely good running properties, making these lures true catch guarantors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHMKL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e also places great importance on lifelike color patterns and lure shapes for all its hardbaits. Thus, during the production of the wobblers, pearl effect lacquers or so-called \"Mylar Blades\" built inside, i.e., reflective hologram foils, are frequently used. The full effect shows when you move the lures back and forth in the light and, of course, primarily by the catch 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 of the water, and here the motto applies, sometimes less is more. Especially cautious or passive fish are among the prey of 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 rapid sinking (FS - Fast Sinking) of the lure. The use of tungsten for the weight on the diving lip provides extremely good recognition of the bottom. Tungsten is also significantly \u003cem\u003esmaller than lead\u003c\/em\u003e at 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 ensures a very good bite rate and 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 leading 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 lightly lifted with the rod tip or 1-2 crank turns are made, and then you let the lure sink back to the bottom, where it stands up. Most bites occur precisely in 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 across the bottom. This stirs up a lot of \"dust,\" which also triggers an attraction for trout. This imitates fleeing prey, such as small crabs or fish. Here too, you should occasionally incorporate smaller pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: The \u003cem\u003e\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. The \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZagger 38 B1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e does not like hectic movements or too fast retrieval. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo matter where the fish are – the HMKL ZAGGER will get there!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn more about different wobbler types and retrieval techniques, just click \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ddg-dohnadealergermany.de\/wobbler-und-crankbaits-fuehrungstechniken-und-einsatzgebiete\/\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dohna Dealer Germany","offers":[{"title":"FS - Fast Sinking","offer_id":53317536940371,"sku":"000-HMKL x Office Eucalyptus - Zagger 38 B1 #H Color (UV)-FS (Fast Sinking)","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/9954\/5683\/files\/4._HMKL_x_Office_Eucalyptus_-_Zagger_38_B1_H_Color_UV.jpg?v=1774287015","url":"https:\/\/www.ddg-dohnadealergermany.de\/en\/products\/hmkl-x-office-eucalyptus-zagger-38-b1-akko-the-silly-kopie","provider":"Dohna Dealer Germany","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
