Classic plugs float on the surface or suspend in the water, but will dive under the surface of the water and swim with a side-to-side wobbling movement (hence the alternative name ''wobbler'') upon retrieval, which usually consists of slow to medium fast reel in. This makes the bait seen like a real fish which attracts predatory fish such as [[bass (fish) | bass]] and [[northern pike | pike]]. Plastic plugs can dive to either a very shallow depth, due to a small lip, or to a moderately deep depth (i.e. several meters), due to a large lip. The angle of the bib also affects diving depth. Sometimes, plugs are named after their diving ability, e.g. "''deep-diver''" or "''shallow-diver''". Plugs can also be designed to hover (neutral buoyancy), sink slowly, or sink rapidly. Some have a small metal ball inside to "rattle" when retrieved.
 
Other [[ fishing lures | lures]] are sometimes generically called plugs or wobblers. They come in all different shapes and sizes. These plugs are usually made by small companies and cost around twenty dollars. Each plug has its own action or has none unless you give it one. Wood plugs usually range from between 3/4 oz. and 4 oz. The different plugs come in a few basic categories. There are surface swimmers, subsurface swimmers, needlefish, [[fishing popper|poppers]], pencil poppers, and darters. they all have their own specific place and time to be fished.
