About the originals and Kosadaka

I have been fishing with a spinning rod for quite some time and in my arsenal I have various baits, both well-known brands and Chinese ones. But as we all know, there is a difference between Chinese and Chinese. It is hardly possible to find at least one fisherman who has not heard of the Kosadaka company. What I like about them is the combination of quality and price; the wobblers are well made and well-glued. Of all the ones that fell into my hands, there was not a single one that did not work or fell in the water. But then I asked myself: copies of which famous brands are in Kosadak’s lineup? Let's look at this in this review.

Copies of wobblers from Megabass

The Mystic comes in only one variant - the Kosadaka Mystic XS 95F. This bait belongs to the “Shad” class and copies the well-known Megabass Vision 95 Q-GO.

The Kosadaka Synthez series of lures is presented in 2 types with different depths in the same size - 50mm. Both types have positive buoyancy, these baits are of the “crank” type:

Synthez XL 55F – Megabass MR-X Cyclone

Synthez XS 55F - Megabass SR-X Cyclone

Kosadaka RAT V is a classic rattlin with negative buoyancy. This wobbler is bladeless. RAT is a copy of Vibration–X Smatra from the Japanese brand Megabass.

Kosadaka RAT V 65S – Megabass Vibration–X Smatra

It is erroneously written in many reviews that Kosadaka RAT is a copy of Vibration-X Smatra, but in fact RAT is a deep-sea rattlin series, and a copy of Vibration-X is a series of RATV lures. These lures from Kosadaka are presented in 2 sizes 50mm and 65mm. They are equally suitable for summer fishing and ice fishing.

What wobblers do they copy?

All models produced by Kosadaka are copies of famous baits. Of course, a clone does not always exactly replicate the game, flight performance, operating horizon, degree of buoyancy and other performance characteristics. However, in form the replica imitates the original one to one.

Chub fishing models from Kosadak imitate the originals very realistically

In addition, by using the copy and the original together, you can achieve greater success than using each bait separately. Below is a table of correspondence between Kosadak wobblers and original volumetric baits:

Not all models are listed above, only those that have proven themselves and received positive reviews from experienced fishermen.

Copies of wobblers from Pontoon21

Kosadaka Arado is a copy of Crackjack from Pontoon21. The difference between the copy and the original is that the copy is produced in a size of 60mm, and the original is 58mm, the copy has neutral buoyancy, and the originals are produced with both positive and neutral buoyancy, as well as with different depths.
