A popular variety of soft spinning lures is the vibrotail. Silicone fish realistically behaves under water, so freshwater predators such as pike, zander, and perch are biting at it. Modern vibrotails are made of durable elastic material that can withstand a large number of bites. To increase the catch, manufacturers are impregnating silicone baits with special attractants. "Edible rubber" is advantageous in that the predator keeps it in the mouth for a long time. The fish feels the familiar taste, so do not rush to spit out a soft, fragrant object. Such a vibrotail gives the novice fisherman extra time for cutting fish. This is especially important when using jig or staggered wiring, as well as in the case of the use of equipment with spaced cargo. During the fall, not every rod is able to clearly respond to the faint touch of a predator fish. The longer the silicone bait is in the mouth, the greater the chance of catching the prey. The choice of vibrotail depends mainly on the type of predatory fish.
- For pike requires large wide bait length of 70-150 mm. Best of all toothy reacts to a sweeping amplitude game of the tail.
- The pike perch prefers vibrating tails of 60-130 mm in size. They should have a small amplitude and small vibration. Moreover, wagging the hoof lure should, and when the load at the bottom.
- Perch reacts differently to silicone bait. Nowadays, catching on branch leashes or on unloaded rubber has become especially popular. The size of vibrotails is limited to a range of 25-50 mm.
Our review includes the best vibrotails for freshwater predators. The rating is based on feedback from domestic spinningists.
The best vibro tails on a pike

A country: Japan (produced in China)
Average price: 70 rub. (3 pcs.)
Rating (2019): 4.8
The most affordable pike vibrotail in our review was the model Kosadaka Revolt SK 90. The manufacturer managed to find the perfect balance between price and consumer properties. The bait interests a toothy predator primarily an active game. It can be led slowly, tempting to attack a passive fish. The body of the model is flavored with an attractive attractant that resembles the toothy taste of a real victim. It does not release the bait from the mouth for a long time, so the spinningist has a chance to perform timely hooking. Fish may be interested in both the usual uniform wiring, and the classic step. The series has many attractive colors that are suitable for different reservoirs.
Domestic spinningists note such qualities of Kosadaka Revolt SK 90 as an affordable price, active behavior in water, the presence of aroma. It is not a pity to tear it off at the dead hold. But soft rubber can not long withstand the sharp pike teeth.
A lot of controversy arises in anglers regarding colors. Some spinningists believe that the coloring does not matter, because the fish do not distinguish colors. Other anglers hold the opposite view.
- In clear water, experts recommend the use of bait with a natural color. Pearlescent, translucent vibrotails with a dark back work well. It remains unclear predator predator in bloom "lube".
- When the water is cloudy, the predator has little time to determine the edibility of the object. Fish responds better to bright calling colors. Experts advise for cloudy weather to have white, red, lemon, orange and bright green vibrotails.

Average price: 215 rub. (5 pieces.)
Rating (2019): 4.9
The joint development of Russian fishermen and the American manufacturer has become the bait Manns Samba 80. Her active game unbalances the most brooding pike. A characteristic feature of the vibrotail is positive buoyancy. This was achieved through the use of special materials. When the model is equipped with a sinker-cheburashka, the bait continues to play even when the tandem is lowered to the bottom. On the tail there are special notches, thanks to which a good game occurs even when falling in the water column. The grooves are made along the entire length, simplifying installation on a double of any size. When biting a pike, the vibrotail does not slip from the forend, which is often the case with other silicone products.
Russian spinningists love the Manns Samba 80 vibro tails for their active play, catchiness, bright colors. Not a very good implementation of poklevok observed when mounting on the offset hook.

2 Pontoon 21 Homunculures Awaruna 4.0
A country: Russia
Average price: 360 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Pontoon is a vivid example of how high-quality fishing lures can be produced in our country, in no way inferior to eminent brands from abroad. This vibrotail was developed specifically for catching zander. It has high mobility, thanks to the tail, and flexibility, thanks to the slits on the body. Even with slow wiring, this silicone bait moves very aggressively in the water column and does not surely leave a fanged predator indifferent.
There are advantages in the technical specifications. For example, the company's products are famous for their durability. Their vibrotails easily withstand dozens of hits in the mouth of predators, and do not lose external data during prolonged use. It is worth noting that the price in comparison with other baits is not so low, but you should take into account the strength and durability of gear, which, when recalculated, makes it almost none of the cheapest on the market. Simply put, we face the best combination of price and quality, hence the high rating in the rating.
1 Mikado FishHunter 10.5 cm
A country: Poland
Average price: 176 rub. (1 PC.)
Rating (2019): 5.0
Vibrotail Mikado FishHunter 10.5 cm demonstrates excellent catchability in cold water. It is precisely in late autumn that large pike perch bites well. The secret of success lies in the elasticity and "naturalness" of the material. The bait has a high-frequency game with a small amplitude of oscillations, which is what the autumn predator needs. Among competitors, FishHunter is distinguished by a squatting body shape and clear ribs. For better mounting of the jig head, there is a recess in the head section. Pikeperch is also interested in pike perch in summertime, but a smaller model is required for warm water. Unusual in body structure has great weight with an increased size of the tail. The mass of the model exceeds vibrations of other manufacturers of similar manufacturers that are approximately twice the size.
Anglers note the advantage of the Mikado FishHunter 10.5 cm Vibrotail, both in terms of casting distance and dive speed. You can use a lighter load to perform step animation.
The best vibro tails with imitation
Silicone baits often have nothing to do with real representatives of the fauna. These are just blanks that create vibrations in the water that attract the predator. But not all predators are ready to be deceived so easily, especially at a time when there is already enough food. For example, catfish, which deceive the whole art, and especially for such situations there are lures with imitation. Their advantage is the appearance, which is designed to mislead future production, and we have selected for you the five most interesting options, and present them in our rating.
5 Berkley Powerbait Floating Mice Tails
A country: China
Average price: 199 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
Imitations are both complex and as primitive as possible, such as this product. This is the simplest tackle in the form of an earthworm with a hypertrophied head, distinguishable from the body in size and color. In the water, and on the surface, the bait is easily confused with a real worm, which means that it coped with its main task. By the way, the enlarged head is not just like that. The fact is that many bottom fish, such as bream or carps, have a very narrow mouth. They do not swallow the bait immediately, but as it nadkusyvayut. Large bait forces the fish to grab it completely, and then the hook does its job and does not allow the fish to break.
True, there are downsides that are immediately noticeable.For example, the price of 200 rubles for the simplest imitation is, of course, a lot, but as the reviews of real buyers show, the tackle is as strong and durable as possible, that is, you don’t have to constantly change it once the previous one loses its shape. This aspect completely levels the price and makes it quite acceptable, although as the main one, such gear will not be used anyway. If only in early spring, during the period of the active bite, when the fish rushes to everything, and it makes no sense to go on tricks.

Rating (2019): 4.7
The frog is often used as bait for catching catfish and other large predators. Fish are attracted to this freshwater, but the producers of this gear went even further and perfected the frog, making an imitation that works even better than the real one. Determine by appearance that before us it is the frog that only the legs, which have high flexibility, and when moving constantly move, create acoustic and vibration waves around the gear.
In addition, there is a small edge, which is also a trigger for fish. These are bundled nylon fibers that hide the hook. The fish do not see the metallic luster, but notice the unique play of colors that cause aggression. And finally, the last but not least factor is the coloring. Here it is as close to real as possible, and will easily mislead a predator. As for the shortcomings, it is possible to allocate a relatively high cost. Of course, 700 rubles for silicone bait is expensive, but only if you do not take into account its catchiness and quality.

Rating (2019): 4.8
Lures with imitation do not necessarily have a maximum resemblance to the natural inhabitants of water bodies. Only approximate resemblance is enough, and often, artificial silicone baits act on fish much better than real representatives of the fauna. This tackle was developed by specialists of the company taking into account the basic behavioral characteristics of fish. It is known that predators react to the game of prey in the water, and then several moving parts at once.
Small tentacles and large limbs make the bait constantly move, and also create an acoustic effect, acting as an additional trigger. And besides, it is also an edible vibrotail, that is, soaked with special aromatic oils. Swallowing such bait, the fish understands the nature of deception too late and is already tight on the hook. Simply put, such a tackle can be called universal, and even the best of its kind. Not a single predator will pass by it, whether it be a picky perch, or a fast pike perch.

If your goal for fishing is not a perch or a small pike perch, but a much larger prey, such as catfish, then you will need the appropriate equipment, and this model will just have to be the way. This is an imitation of a beetle, at least, as the manufacturer writes, although in reality such beetles are unlikely to be found in nature. Anyway, such a form factor has the maximum attractiveness even for the most careful and demanding predators.
But not only the form factor works in this situation. No less important is the color scheme, which is a powerful irritant for fish. If you catch, for example, catfish that live in deep and dark pits, you can choose a tackle with bright, acidic colors. When fishing on clear water and near the surface, monotonous tackle will work better. But any bait from this collection has splashes interspersing. They refract even the most meager sunshine and create an intricate play of light and shadow in the water. No predator, even well-fed and cautious, will stand against such bait.

The fry is the best bait for catching zander, pike and other predators, but it is not necessary to catch small fish in order to make it bait. It is much easier to use the imitation that offers a famous brand. Before us is the most popular product from a Latvian company. Vibrotail, imitating fry with a unique coloring.
That coloring is the main advantage of this gear. It is a little similar to the natural, but as much as possible causes aggression in predators. The combination of red, yellow and black colors creates an intricate play of light and shadow in the water, which attracts even the most careful predator. Of course, some buyers may be deterred by the price, which is relatively high here, but given the catchiness of the gear, as well as knowing the quality of all the products of this company, it is completely leveled. And finally, another advantage - vibration. This bait does not have a specific purpose, because depending on the speed of the wiring, the game of tackle in the water changes, which means that any predator will peck at it.
The best vibro tails on a perch
Only slow-moving silicone fish in the water column can irritate a passive perch. This can be achieved with the help of the smallest vibrotails and minimal load of fire.

Perch is not the most savvy fish and, unlike pikeperch or pike, even initially inedible items are often enough. But, like any predator, the perch has natural caution, and it is better to catch it with baits working in several directions at once. Before us is one of these baits. This is the best silicone vibrating tail imitating a real fry. It has the maximum similarity with a real fish, but this is not the only factor of catchability.
In addition, the bait is edible, that is, it is impregnated with aromatic oil, which does not erode over time. On a hunt, a perch is often guided by smell, and simply cannot pass by such a treat. Having seized a bait, fish will feel taste, and will begin to swallow it all more deeply, yet does not realize that it was deceived. But it will be too late. By the way, you can catch a pike perch with a pike on this vibro-tail, but also because of the low mobility of tackle in the water, they will be less likely to be hooked, even with fast wiring.

Perch is not the most demanding fish in terms of food choices. Unlike pike, he is much more willing to rush to the proposed bait, but during the period of active feed it becomes very difficult to catch him because of the abundance of feed in the water. Perch need something to attract and the best way - to use special aromatic silicone bait, or as they are called - edible.
Before us is one of them. These are products of a popular brand, famous for quality tooling at the most affordable prices and with the best quality. It is an edible vibrotail, i.e. it is impregnated with special oils acting on fish receptors. Of course, eating it from a pike or a pike perch will not work, and the perch’s teeth will not cope with thick rubber, but by the time the predator realizes that he has been deceived, it will be too late and he will turn into a fishing trophy from a hunter. Also, coloring plays a significant role in catchability. Here it is as natural as possible, but interspersed with sparkles, iridescent in water, and acting as an additional trigger.

A very perceptible silicone fish on a perch for an exploded snap-in option is the Homunculures Awaruna 1.5 "vibrating tail of Pontoon 21.

This allows the use of snap-ins such as Moscow, Caroline, Drop Shot, Texas Execution of the “non-grip” allows you to hold an artificial fish in perch shelters (algae, snags, stones) without tearing the bait.
