This is the first wobbler I’ve ever seen that had grooves on it’s center bore.
There’s matching ridges on the rotor’s “high side”, but not all the way
around it’s circumference.
What do you suppose was the reason of the engineer’s design,to have these
grooves?
Prepare to be boarded!
The grooves in brass cam are machined not wear. I do not know about the Wobbler. Brian Wilcox makes them on an exchange basis due to metal parts embedded in the Wobbler.
If I were forced to Walk the Plank and make a guess, it would be the grooves in the Oscillator (Hockey Puck) are part of design to trap water between brass cam and rubber oscillator to lubricate both and reduce wear. especially when operating in shallow water where sand and silt are part of the mx. My best guess anyway.

Just ordered a wobbler from Brian a few minutes ago!
