Review of the best inexpensive pike wobblers TsuYoki 2021

Chinese tackle

Products from the Middle Kingdom are heterogeneous in their composition in terms of quality. There is a product from the “No name” category, made by someone unknown and from what. Most often these are pieces of plastic with hastily attached hooks that will fall off after the first cast. There is no talk at all about any kind of game on a certain wiring. Such products are unlikely to be in demand when there are products of slightly better quality at almost the same price.

These are baits that, after a little modification, can last several trips. By replacing the hooks and taping the joints, you can try to catch something from the pond. But if they are initially unbalanced and poorly loaded, then they will be of little use. Almost always, the characteristics stated on the packaging do not correspond to reality. Buying such products is like a lottery.

Recent years have shown that not only blind copying is available to Chinese bait manufacturers. Good products are also appearing, like two peas in a pod, similar to the products of well-known companies and approaching them in terms of the quality of the materials used and workmanship. Technologies make it possible to apply holographic designs to the bodies of wobblers, and high-quality hooks are used, from leading manufacturers.

The low price allows you to compete with famous companies in the fight for consumers. Tsuyoki wobblers can be classified into this category. The catalog and product reviews indicate the seriousness of the company’s intentions to take part of the market for such gear.

A little about the company

A company with this name is not purely Chinese. The main production is located on the territory of this country, as well as in some other countries. The management is located in Moscow. The Russian company Goldriver owns the trade name Tsuyoki. Before launching their own products, specialists carefully studied the market and various models, from which they later formed their own range of wobblers. The company employed both its own and external researchers and developers. For production, modern equipment and high-quality raw materials were purchased.

Among similar products, Tsuyoki wobblers represent a product in the budget category, but if we talk from the standpoint of price-quality ratio, the company’s position is at a good level.

Company products

The gear manufactured under this brand is mostly intended for the Russian market, so when selecting models to copy, they were based on the opinions of Russian professional fishermen and ordinary amateurs.

Specialists who were familiar first-hand with local fishing conditions and the habits of various fish species that live in Russian reservoirs worked on creating their own lines. From the moment of conception to implementation, the project goes through several stages:

• Testing the bait with which the replica will be created.
• If the results are positive, production of a copy begins.
• Lures that do not pass the selection undergo a process of adaptation to domestic conditions and the result is not an exact copy, but only a model similar to the original.

All Tsuyoki wobblers, both analogues of brands and only similar to them, are produced in two categories: VIP or economy. They differ in raw materials and accessories. But the quality of cheaper models is not much worse, and the popularity ratings confirm this.

Characteristics of TsuYoki wobblers

Content

Tsuyoki wobblers are very popular among spinning players with a low budget. Despite the affordable price, the gear is good. When choosing between an expensive original or a good replica with a low price, many domestic fishermen choose the second. In terms of the quality of the wobblers produced, it occupies one of the leading positions in the field of budget baits.

In terms of the variety and quality of Tsuyoki models, the company is a leader in economy class products and the most promising representative in terms of price/quality ratio.

Among spinning players with a low budget, Tsuyoki wobblers are very popular

It is difficult to review Tsueki wobblers due to the variety of product choices; in total, the assortment includes over 150 baits that belong to one of eight classes:

• minnow;
• cranks;
• sticks;
• walkers;
• shads;
• two-component;
• poppers;
• rattlins.

The variety concerns not only the shapes and types of wobblers; there are many colored presentations of baits. During the existence of the company, over two thousand color models of wobblers have been developed.

Products can be purchased directly from the manufacturer on the website, thereby saving money, but the company deals exclusively with wholesale sales. The minimum order amount is 10,000 rubles. To gain access to orders, you will first have to register and moderate your account. If you buy through a sales agent online, the markup will be 15-30%, and in a store for any given model you will have to pay 50% more than it originally costs.

Types of products

The company's line of baits includes many different models of all kinds. At the moment, in the Tsuyoki wobblers catalog you can find the following baits:

• Surface popper baits.
• Wobblers with both active play (cranks) and without it (minnow).
• Bladeless, sinking rattlins and roach-like shad.
• Universal stickbaits and volume walkers.
• Composite wobblers.

According to buoyancy, there are sinking, floating and suspending types.

More than 150 types of colors will satisfy the needs of any spinning player.

Types of TSUYOKI products

The Tsuyoki brand products are produced in the following categories:

• Sticks;
• Poppers;
• Composers;
• Rattlins;
• Cranky;
• Minnow;
• Walkers;
• Shads.

The TSUYOKI product line produces more than 150 models (as many color options), in sinking, floating, and neutral buoyancy varieties. To date, more than 2 thousand types of baits from the Tsuyoki wobbler series have been produced.

Originals and copies

The main part of the assortment consists of analogues of well-known baits. There are differences between them; the most important features can be discerned. Guided by the opinion of those fishermen who came across these and other baits, we can draw the following analogies:

• The Chance model, the most popular among fishermen, is copied from the Rudra wobbler from the OSP company. Some characteristics of the replica are improved compared to the original.
• TsuYoki Gera and Tackle House have an identical magnetic ball system.
• The Draga series is copied from Balisong wobblers. They have the same colors and long-casting systems.
• Pointer 100 from Lucky Craft is the prototype of Mover. The latter has a higher quality coating and tees from Owner.
• Visual similarities are noted between the OSP Bent Minnow and Roger, which, unlike the original, is available in a length of 13 centimeters.
• TsuYoki Watson is similar to both the Rudra and Balisong models. However, the copy has better catchability and play.
• The HMKL brand, which is part of the Jackall company, has the K-1 Minnow Hime wobbler. It is well copied by Dust 115. The original bait is rarely found even in Japan, so most fishermen have never even seen it.
• You can recognize the YuZuri/Duel Dolce wobbler by its hump. It also distinguishes TsuYoki Dron. Not every angler will be able to distinguish them.

Watsons from Tsueki

Watson 110sp is the most popular in the line of wobblers in this series.

Watson 110 sp

A combination of certain indicators allows him to take this leading position. Watson is very similar to his original. But only externally. If you take measurements of Watson 110sp and ZipBaits Orbit 110 SP, the copy will be slightly larger. This is exactly the case when a brand is copied not completely, but partially, cleverly, as they say, and with fitting on Russian water bodies.

The Watson hardware is quite durable. Repeated experiments by fishermen show that even when the hook is unbent (which is very difficult to do), it can be returned to its original position. The paintwork is durable.

The analogue also differs from the original in sound quality. Orbit is a quieter wobbler, except for the balancing mechanism inside – it doesn’t make any extraneous sounds. Watson is more vocal, but not critical.

Watson's casting rate is simply excellent. The long-distance magnetic casting system works perfectly, allowing you to send the bait a good distance even with a slight side wind.

The game is varied. Not stubborn and obedient bait. With certain manipulations, it produces a huge range of movements, and also has good residual movements.

Variety of models

If you lay out all the varieties of wobblers from this company on the counter, you won’t even glance at them. Any fisherman, sportsman or amateur, will find something worthwhile for himself. Some well-known manufacturers cannot boast of such a wide range of products.

Draga lures

The minnow type wobbler has floating and suspended samples in its line. Unlike the original Balisong from Deps, which requires constant twitching to dive, this wobbler does not pop up so quickly. This allows for smooth wiring even at a meter depth.

The Draga wobbler is characterized by a wide dissection of water with several oscillations around its axis. Good for uniform twitching when fishing for pike. In terms of its fishing qualities, it is recognized as a worthy rival to the original.

Quite a large model with the following parameters:

• Length - 130 mm.
• Weight -23.4 g.
• Depth - 1.2 meters.
• There is a noise effect.

Watson baits

This wobbler, according to the athletes who took it to the competition, leaves its ancestors behind. It emerges more slowly than them and attracts the attention of more individuals.

Magnetic balls, which ensure long casting, not only make the bait heavier, but also create the necessary noise effect. By changing the accessories, you can change the weight of the bait. Depending on the thickness of the fishing line, the dive can reach 1.5 meters. This wobbler is very suitable for twitching with both smooth penetration and sharp jerks, as well as for catching pike.

Technical data:

• Length 128 millimeters.
• Weight 24 grams.
• Class - minnow.
• Immersion - suspender.

Wobbler Chance

This wobbler is suitable for fishing for medium-sized pike and large perch. It is good in shallow water. Casts of 30 meters or more, as well as noise that attracts fish, are provided by five metal balls. Suitable for light twitching, but with even wiring you can also try to catch a predator. The play of the wobbler attracts fish even with minimal bite. A variety of colors allows you to choose gear for any time of year.

Basic data:

• Weight - 21 grams.
• Length - 130 millimeters.

Tsuyoki Mover

For those who like to fish for large predators in large bodies of water, this wobbler is suitable. This noise suspender with magnetic balls attracts pike and flies far when casting. The jerk wiring notes its better behavior than the original. However, hard twitch is most effective. When retrieved, it throws its tail wide and scours in different directions, and when stopping, it hesitates and emerges. The predator's attention is guaranteed. The coloring allows you to change it throughout the fishing season.

Characteristics:

• Weight - 26 grams.
• Length - 128 mm.
• Depth up to 1.8 meters.

Agent Products

This bait will help you catch pike, asp, perch and other predators at great depths. Rivers with fast currents and large bodies of water without it are suitable for fishing.

This is a typical crank with a casting range of more than 40 meters if an ultralight spinning rod is used. There is a noise chamber combined with a balancing complex. The wobbler's action is attractive and stable.

There are diamond-shaped notches on the back of the bait’s body, and oblique notches on the front. This makes it look like a real fish. This is achieved even more due to voluminous eyes. Due to the colors, of which there are more than 20, you can choose gear for any weather.

Dimensions:

• Weight - 4.6 g.
• Length - 3.6 cm.
• Depth - 0.2−0.5 m.

Astrolog and Chrek series

These are classic medium-sized minnows. The main type of prey is pike, but large perch will also go. In practice, you can even catch pike perch at night. Suitable for fishing large areas or depressions near the shore.

In appearance, the minnow is similar to the previous wobbler with 3D scales and imitates a small fish. The casting range is ensured by a magnet system.

The weight of the bait is about 19 grams, length 115 millimeters.

The hybrid wobbler Chrek combines the qualities of a popper and a walker. Perch, asp and pike are suitable prey for him in various bodies of water and in any weather. Fishing in shallow waters in summer is especially effective.

The body is cylindrical, tapering towards the tail, and has a transparent keel to stabilize the wiring during rough water. The voluminous eyes are designed to attract predators. Fastening is carried out at two points: at the top fixation it is a walker, at the bottom it is a popper. The wobbler is equipped with two Owner tees.

Dimensions:

• Length - 95 mm.
• Weight - 14 g.

Tsuyoki Gorn

Effective use of these poppers is possible in the summer to catch predators in the upper layers of the reservoir. Suitable for fishing in shallow waters where perch live. You can catch small pike, ide and sabrefish with such a wobbler.

Due to the special distribution of mass, a vertical position of the bait and long casts are possible. Holographic eyes attract predators, and the durable coating reliably resists its bites. Bright, varied colors perfectly attract fish and are visible from a distance, which allows you to control the bait and its wiring.

The length of the wobbler is 6.5 cm, weight - 7 g.

TsuYoki wobblers correspondence table

Understanding the advantages of expensive “Japanese” and in the absence of financial resources, many fishermen prefer high-quality replicas.

Tsuyoki wobblers correspondence table:

• the “Drag” series is fully consistent with “Balisong”;
• a number of “Chance” wobblers are analogues of OSP from Rudra;
• the popular Mover series is Pointer from Lucky Craft;
• "Drone" is very similar to YoZuri's "Dolce";
• "Wing" is a copy of the successful wobbler "Vision";
• "Watson" is identical to ZipBaits Orbit.

Features of replicas from China

Not every fisherman has financial resources to purchase branded bait models. But buying unknown Chinese handicrafts is also not a solution. However, having assessed the availability of funds, before buying any bait, you need to consider the following factors:

• Branded Japanese and American wobblers have colors that are more suitable for sea fishing, while domestic predators prefer acidic shades, which is what this company specializes in.
• Tsuyoki branded products are of decent quality.
• Some models retain their performance characteristics longer due to their durable coating.
• Currently, more reliable hooks and fittings are used than originally.

Despite the fact that the Russian-Chinese company copies many well-known models, its products cannot be called pirated. It is quite difficult to come up with something new in such an ancient craft as fishing. But the existing improvement and promotion on the market is always welcomed by the broad masses of fishermen who need a variety of gear at affordable prices.

Analogues of TsuYoki wobblers

Many Tsuyoki models are analogues of expensive wobblers, although sometimes they are superior to the originals due to their focus on the domestic market. Despite the lack of original developments, the company gains consumers due to the affordable cost of baits.

Works great when moving slowly

Several similar companies:

• Strike Pro's assortment also includes many analogues from well-known manufacturers at an affordable price;
• often produces baits that are available to the domestic market at an affordable price.
