- THE NEW NAME IN QUALITY LURES -
INTRODUCTION
If like me and many other lure-anglers (if the prices they fetch on eBay are
anything to go-by!), you have been bemoaning the demise of Rapala's small &
medium-sized, jointed sinking (CountDown) minnows, and have been searching for
alternatives, rejoice ! I have found some ace alternatives, the Kovmasters
Wobblers PTL Spoder Doubles ....
After a tip-off from my friend Janos, in Hungary, I finally located KOVMASTERS,
lure-manufacturers of near-perfection, and, lo-and-behold, among their very
extensive range of plugs, I discovered their Kovmasters Wobbler PTL Spider
Double, a range of jointed sinking minnows in a huge range of colours ! Eureka!
Kovmasters, masters of lure-making
Štefan Kovác, the man behind Kovmasters, has been making lures for sometime
now but is relatively unknown outside his home country. When he assured me that
his lures were made to perfection, to equal or better anything-else on the
market, I ordered some immediately and eagerly awaited them, to see if Štefan
was exaggerating ... most definitely he was not !
I should say, at the outset, that with Kovmasters Wobblers, we are talking
about medium to small, and even tiny, plugs, the largest being around 16 cm and
the smallest only 3 cm.
Jointed Countdown Minnows
So, having got some of these lovely little Wobblers in my hot sweaty hands, it
makes-sense for me to describe them first. Let's take the smallest in this
range, the 7cm PTL Spider Double wobbler: in fact it's only 6.5 cm long, which
for me, is a bonus. It weighs 5.7 gm has an enticing wiggle and sinks slowly,
so it's a nice replacement for the much-missed (by me anyway) Rapala CDJ-7.
