Has anyone had sucess with a Wades Wobbler? If so what is your preferred way of fishing it - slow, fast, twitch, etc...? Also what is your favorite month to use it? Thanks

I love the Wobbler all season, but use it more in the spring and fall. I use it the same as others use the Suick, Rip it, Pull it, Twitch it or Crank it -- they do it all, and do it better than the Suick. You always here about Suicks that just don't work right, but never any complaints about the Wobbler.

Just go out and experiment, until you find what they want, every day is different.

Good Luck!
Steve

I have found that the Wades Wobbler backs up as it rises to the surface after being jerked down, this is a different action then a suick or bobbie bait that generally rise strait up. I find on a calm day, jerk it so it dives 3-6feet then let it rise and as soon as the tail of the bait touches the surface jerk it again. It should make a small ripple and occasionally a splash or popping sound when you jerk it under. I also would generally use a long slow jerk on a dark day or evening vs. short quick ones on a bright day. I'm sure there are other methods and sometimes they want the opposite of what I expect, but these are good starting methods and have produced for me. Also don't be affraid to experiment. best of luck and keep us posted.

It depends on the mood of the fish, and weather, but typically for me the more eratic the better.

I mix in short pulls, long pulls, long pauses, short pauses, twitches, sometimes in the middle of a retrieve I will just reel it straight in for 5-10 feet, followed by pauses, and twitches, etc... The more eratic the better sometimes....

Sometimes with a hard snap I can get it to turn around as it rises so that it will actually be facing a following muskie... That is usually dynamite!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
