Shimano Cardiff Refrain 50HS – sinking wobbler
Shimano Cardiff Refrain 50HS is a compact, Heavy Sinking (HS) type wobbler, designed for precise and effective spinning in currents and calmer waters. It is especially popular for trout fishing, but also works great for perch and other small predatory fish.
Thanks to the weight placed at the rear, the wobbler ensures long and precise casts. When retrieved steadily, it creates a stable, flickering movement, while during pauses it sinks with a gentle, wobbling fall that very well imitates an injured baitfish.
