Technical parameters: Suspender (SP), length 90 mm, weight 10.0 grams, depth up to 0.6-1.0 m.
Medium-sized minnow class wobbler for fishing in shallow water, over aquatic vegetation and along reed thickets.
Design Features: RIVAL SR 90SP has a laterally flattened body, a slightly humped profile, tapering in smooth lines towards the tail tee. The surface of the sides of the wobbler above the “side line” is made in the form of diamond-shaped notches imitating scales, and below the “side line” it is covered with oblique notches. The head part is an imitation of the head of a small fish, repeating the gill covers in its external design. Glued-in three-dimensional eyes complete the realistic appearance of the wobbler. The balls placed in the internal cavity of the RIVAL SR 90SP perform the functions of a long-distance casting and balance system, and also create a rustling sound when retrieving the bait. RIVAL SR 90SP is equipped with two sharp Cultiva Owner tees of the appropriate size. High-quality fittings and elastic, durable winding rings complete the armament of the bait.
Casting and animation: Thanks to the RIVAL long casting system, the RIVAL SR 90SP flies to the 30 meter mark. The distance tests used a 7.6 foot long fast action rod with a test of up to 21 g, a Shimano 3000 reel and a soft 8-strand #1 line ,0.
The animation of the RIVAL SR 90SP 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. An interesting technique is the stop-and-go method, when after several turns of the reel or pulling the wobbler with the rod, the bait stops and hangs in the water column with residual vibrations fading during the pause. Best of all, the RIVAL SR 90SP reveals its capabilities with jerky animation. During the jerk, it sharply turns 90+ degrees from the axis of the drive, while rolling and showing its sides. It can be deployed almost on the spot, making short, accentuated jerks. You can experiment with the strength and duration of jerks, choosing the feed that the predator likes today. It seems that every angler has the opportunity to reveal the subtleties and nuances of the RIVAL SR 90SP animation specifically for their fishing conditions. Among the potential trophies of this wobbler will be, first of all, pike and large perch. Bycatch may include pike perch and asp.
When using a 20 cm leader from string No. 2, RIVAL SR 90SP retains neutral buoyancy and the quality of wobbler animation does not suffer.
Tackle set: Rod 7.0-7.6 feet long, fast action, with a test weight of up to 18-25 g, reel 2500-3000 according to the Shimano line, smooth and soft cord # 0.8-1.2.
