Hurus-Wobbler from Varkaus Text and photo: SFM-toimitus
Fishermen have known the Hurus –Wooblers already years, that is why we have speak about them at the same time as we speak about salmon fishing.
Ilpo Suihkosen from Varkaus makes these wobblers, which are known from their personal outlook, and that the name is written on the sides of the wobbler with fluorescent letters.
The body model looks very front weighted, in front there is the L-model, large chin plate. You can not bend and tune the chin plate when it is cold., you have to heat it up first. The hooks are thin wired, the back hook is larger than the one in the middle.
The colours are personal, hitting points are painted with fluorescent colours on different places of the body. The eyes are looking to the bottom of the river. There are about 60 basic colours and many body models.
PTehe swimm is fast, small movements, perhaps the big back hook calms the swim a bit. Changing the hook sizes you can make different swims to the wobbler. The line eye is long, so it is easy to tune hurus-wobblers. The price of the models in the picture has been 12 euros.
