Wob-Art Szczur – Rat Imitation Surface Lures

Wob-Art Szczur is a handcrafted surface fishing lure from the Polish brand Wob-Art, designed to realistically imitate a swimming rat. This floating lure is intended for targeting large predatory fish feeding at or near the water's surface. Its distinctive rodent-shaped profile offers an interesting alternative to conventional fish-shaped lures.

The Szczur lure is particularly suitable for targeting catfish and pike, but can also attract asp, zander and chub. It can be used in both rivers and stillwaters, especially in shallow areas, along vegetated banks and around aquatic plants where predators may be waiting for prey. Its surface presentation makes it an interesting choice for exploring areas where fish hunt close to the surface.

The lure has a body length of 5.5 cm (2.2 in), an overall length of 10 cm (3.9 in) including the tail, and weighs 10 g. It features a floating F design intended for surface fishing. The manufacturer recommends a slow, steady retrieve to imitate the natural movement of a swimming rat. In rivers, the lure can be retrieved slightly faster with the current or worked slowly across the flow and parallel to the bank.

In stillwaters, promising locations include shallow sections, submerged vegetation and areas close to reeds or other emergent plants. These habitats provide cover for predatory fish and allow anglers to present the lure along potential ambush points. Individually handcrafted and hand-painted with attention to detail, Wob-Art Szczur is an unusual topwater lure for spinning anglers looking to target larger freshwater predators with a realistic rodent imitation.
