Technical parameters: slow sinking (SS), length 66 mm, weight 8.8 g, depth 0.6-1 m.
A universal wobbler of the “minnow” class for catching pike, pike perch, asp, chub, perch and other predatory fish in rivers, ponds and lakes.
Design features: GNOM 66SS is a medium-sized wobbler-minnow with a wide head and back part, gradually tapering towards the tail of the bait. On the sides of the wobbler there are two relief surface textures separated by a lateral line. The upper part is made in the form of diamond-shaped notches-scales, the lower part (down to the abdomen) is in the form of oblique notches. The head part of the wobbler imitates the gill covers of a fish in relief, and 3D eyes complement the realistic design of the entire bait. GNOM 66SS is equipped with a balance system that simultaneously functions as a noise chamber. The design of the bait does not include a long-distance casting system. The wobbler is equipped with two sharp tees, high-quality fittings and winding rings. The wobbler has a modern paint coating and a wide selection of colors in the catalog.
Casting and animation: due to its significant weight and relative compactness, the GNOM 66SS flies 35-40 meters when casting. The distance tests used a 7.6ft fast action rod with a cast of up to 14g. and an eight-core cord with a diameter of #0.6 according to the Japanese classification.
The animation of the GNOM 66SS is typical for wobblers of this class. On a uniform retrieve, the wobbler has its own game with oscillations along the horizontal axis of the bait. Jerky animation (twitching) and stop-and-go animation are also in demand when working with GNOM 66SS. During the jerk, the wobbler goes to the side, turns 90+ degrees, and there is a pronounced “rolling” (shows the belly). When paused, the wobbler slowly sinks with residual vibrations along the transverse axis of the bait.
On rivers with a current, it is possible to fish by drifting across the current with control of the rod and slow selection of the line with a reel.
The main trophies of the GNOM 66SS: pike, pike perch, asp, perch, chub, ide.
Recommended set of gear: a rod 7-7.8 feet long with a fast action, with a top weight of up to 10-20 gr., a reel of size 2000-3000, line #0.6-0.8 according to the Japanese classification.
