Ugly Duckling® lures make a master of a regular fisherman! 

   The Ugly Duckling company started the serial production of the artificial lures for the recreational fishing in the early eighties of the last century. Thanks to the great experience and years of testing, the Ugly Duckling wobblers have become worldwide popular, known for their fantastic quality and effectivness.

The main part in the process of producing  these wobblers is the manual work. All Ugly Duckling models, except for the RP'RATT, are being made out of the high quality balsa and samba wood. The first step is picking the right wood. The next step is this:

The lures are being made out of the two identical halves - left and right. After the wood has been brought to a proper size for a certain type of the wobbler, it is being sunk into a special solution. It stays for 24 hours there, and afterwards it is being dried. This is the first level of the wood protection, after which the halves are being handled with the special tools, bringing them to the proper shape. This step excludes the problem of the lures being good until they "get to drink some water". We have many many examples from the fishermen who suddenly find the lost Ugly Duckling wobblers that have spent even years in water, yet still effective like they were the day they were taken out of the box...

When the halves are finished, the next step is sticking them together, previously putting the right wire in between. The wire is safe from the opening, and goes through the whole wobbler body length. This wire also stands every pressure during fishing, not influenting neither body nor lip. After filling of possible rough parts, the next step of the protection is putting up to eight layers of a special lacquer. After that, depending on design, some wobblers are being printed and manually finished, and others are being manually painted completely. The color is protected with two layers of the lacquer. Now is the moment when the wobblers finally get the lip and a hook. The most important operation is - testing and printing. Every one of them is being tested manuall

y until the perfect vibration that predators recognize well.

Maybe this process doesn't sound very complicated, but every time you use your favourite Ugly Duckling friend, remember you are using something made with much effort, knoledge, experience, love, and tendention to make a top quality wobbler which will make a champion of you.
